The Silent Enigma is an album by the British doom metal band Anathema. It was released on October 23 1995 through Peaceville Records. The Silent Enigma is a turning point in Anathema's career. From 1996's Eternity on they would gradually progress (or regress according to some fans) into a softer style of rock.
