ANATHEMA will release their magnum opus Distant Satellites on Tuesday, June 10th, and in anticipation the band is streaming their tenth studio album today at Diffuser.fm.
Distant Satellites is currently available for pre-order at http://www.kscopemusic.com/store and streaming in its entirety now at http://diffuser.fm/anathemas-distant-satellites/.
Following their success of 2012’s heralded album Weather Systems, ANATHEMA has delivered what many will consider as one of their strongest and most innovative albums to date. Distant Satellites will be instantly recognizable to ANATHEMA’s global army of fervent acolytes as another chapter in this band’s remarkable story, not least because their unerring ability to write songs that tug at the heart-strings and evoke the overwhelming power of real life emotions remains as potent as ever.
With a few brave strides into uncharted territory, not least the experimental electronica-driven surge of the album’s stunning title track, they seem increasingly capable of finding new ways to touch our hearts and souls. Ultimately, ANATHEMA are not a band concerned with erecting some perverse artistic façade: instead, they convey the highs and lows of life with disarming honesty and sincerity, and Distant Satellites is their most evocative and moving body of work so far.
