– The Metal Inspector

“A super gem, an incredible jewel!”
– RTMB Music

“Expansive, well crafted, and passionate progressive metal.”
– Heavy Blog is Heavy

“Every prog-metal fan needs to hear The Anchoret’s new album, It All Began With Loneliness. This record could be the one to break the band out and make it one of the genre’s next big names.”
– Phil’s Picks 

“Delivering just under an hour of eclectic, electrifying guitar-work and impressively powerful yet creatively-nuanced drumming – all topped off with passages of flittering flute and squawking saxophone, as well as some utterly sublime (yet never overbearing) synths and a plethora of plaintive, poignant melodies – It All Began With Loneliness takes a little bit of everything you already love about Progressive Rock/Metal.”
– No Clean Singing

 “It All Began with Loneliness is a progressive odyssey with a whole lot to offer fans of progressive metal.The Anchoret have impressed, and this is an album that’s sure to make its mark on those that favour this sort of textured, expressive, and emotive heavy music.”
– Wonderbox Metal

THE ANCHORET is a Progressive Metal project that combines prog rock sensibilities with modern metal energy. Mixing fusion sax, flute solos, mellotron vibes and heavy riffs. It All Began With Lonelliness offers a unique soundscape that is sure to please any fan of heavy music.
