Our Take

ANATHEMA's latest offering, Distant Satellites, presents itself as a sonic journey through the cosmos, with dreamy melodies and celestial soundscapes that transport the listener to another dimension.

From the opening track "The Lost Song - Part 1," the album sets the tone with haunting vocals and ethereal guitars that give way to a subtle electronic undercurrent. It's like floating through space on a magic carpet made of stardust and space debris.

Tracks like "Are You There?" and "Anathema" blend prog-rock sensibilities with post-rock atmospherics, creating a rich tapestry of sound that washes over you like a tidal wave of emotion. It's like being caught in a cosmic whirlpool, swirling around in a kaleidoscope of colours and emotions.

The album's title track, "Distant Satellites," is a shimmering masterpiece that showcases the band's ability to craft intricate, layered compositions that build and swell with a sense of urgency and grandeur. It's like watching a supernova explode in slow motion, with each explosion of sound sending shivers down your spine.

Overall, Distant Satellites is a testament to ANATHEMA's continued evolution as a band, pushing the boundaries of their sound and taking listeners on a transcendent journey through the outer reaches of the universe. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be swept away on a voyage of cosmic proportions.

About the artist

Anathema

The enigmatic British rock band ANATHEMA are not your typical musical outfit. With a career spanning over three decades, they have managed to defy categorization and push the boundaries of what it means to create evocative, emotional music. Originally starting out as a doom metal band in the early 90s, ANATHEMA quickly evolved their sound to incorporate elements of progressive rock, shoegaze, and post-rock. The result is a mesmerising sonic landscape that is both haunting and beautiful, with layers of intricate instrumentation and haunting vocal melodies. Led by brothers Vincent and Daniel Cavanagh, ANATHEMA have gained a cult following for their intense live performances and their ability to captivate audiences with their raw emotion and powerful lyrics. Their music is often described as a journey through the depths of the human soul, touching on themes of love, loss, redemption, and hope. With albums such as "Weather Systems" and "We're Here Because We're Here", ANATHEMA have cemented their status as one of the most influential and innovative bands in the alternative rock scene. Their music is a cathartic experience, a sonic journey that takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster ride that is both exhilarating and profound. So, if you're looking for something a little different, a little off-kilter, and a little bit magical, look no further than ANATHEMA. They are the musical equivalent of a dark and stormy night, a bittersweet symphony that will leave you breathless and wanting more.
