that is the weirdest damn guitar tone. I like it though.

BECOME THE LIGHT
We rise, receptacles of consciousness 
We fight, to survive
Our minds, connected by a vibration so bright
It created life

I'll become the light
And fall into the dream
On the other side 
It's stretching out in front of me
I'll become the light
I'll become the dream

Let the other side
Take control of your reactions
All around the signs are saying
It's about to change
Instinct is something that's programmed
We are all spiritual beings 
Searching for something physical
We left the triggers and call signs 
Waiting for us to find

I'll become the light
And fall into the dream
On the other side
It's stretching out in front of me
I'll become the light
I'll become the dream

We're only human for a lifetime
As soon as we get to the end we get back to the start,
Every other day
Someone turns away 
And the light returns to darkness
Hold on to the reins
Fight for one more day
Because all our times will come 


Become the Light

ANATHEMA return in June with distant satellites, their brand new studio album 

“distant satellites is the culmination of everything ANATHEMA been working up to so far in our musical path. It contains almost every conceivable element of the heartbeat of Anathema music that it is possible to have” – Anathema 2014

distant satellites is the highly anticipated follow up to ANATHEMA’s critically acclaimed 2012’s Weather Systems and last year’s stunning concert film Universal directed by Lasse Hoile. distant satellites was recorded at Cederberg  Studios in Oslo with favoured producer Christer-André Cederberg. Alongside additional mixing by Grammy Nominated Steven Wilson, ANATHEMA also brought in the legendary services of Dave Stewart (Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson) to create the new album’s extraordinary orchestral arrangements. ANATHEMA has been at the forefront of the UK rock movement since its inception, influencing a myriad of bands to follow. What began as a pioneering journey of melodic heavy music has outgrown all genres and limitations, fearlessly exploring new territories and new ways to express feeling through sound and now their star is rising ever higher.

distant satellites will be instantly recognisable to ANATHEMA’s global army of ardent disciples as another chapter in this band’s remarkable story. With a few strides into uncharted territory, not least the electronica-driven surge of the album’s stunning title track, distant satellites will surely be recognised as not only their finest album to date but as one of the most celebrated and lauded albums of 2014. A gleaming anthology of beautifully crafted songs, performed with vitality, verve and utmost passion, once again demonstrating the sublime, instinctive song writing talents of the Cavanagh brothers and drummer John Douglas. Complementing the album is the beautifully ethereal artwork created by Korean new media artist Sang Jun Yoo, based around his Distant Light Installation in New York. Having returned from a sell out North American tour with HIM in March 2014  ANATHEMA and are gearing up to begin extensively touring distant satellites starting with Australian dates, selected summer festivals and a tour across the Europe in the autumn.

In 2012, Breaking Orbit completed work on their long awaited debut album 'The Time Traveller' (Firestarter Distribution), produced by band member Dylan Mitrovich and mastered by Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus).

The album is an hour-long epic, flowing through dynamic passages and presenting a constantly changing scenery. The albums concept revolves around the evolution of man through past, present and future time, touching on themes from ancient mythology. It's music also reflects the theme, mixing modern styles and electronic sounds with progressive roots and tribal sensibilities - including the 'Quena' - a traditional bamboo flute of the Andes. This is translated visually utilising an intricate three dimensional artwork encasing the entire album.

Received well by media prior to release, LifeMusicMedia said "The Time Traveller will demand your attention and toy with your emotions, a clear contender for album of the year and one of the best Australian debuts in recent memory".

Sputnik Music said "Breaking Orbit have managed to successfully tell one hell of a story and take listeners on an amazing atmospheric ride with this, their debut album. It’s hard to label one word to accurately sum up the feeling of emotion, power, captivation and atmosphere that this album allows you to experience."

Breaking Orbit have emerged in 2015 with their second studio album Transcension, to be
released on 29th May.

This next installment from the Sydney based four-piece follows on from their critically acclaimed
debut album The Time Traveller, regarded as "...one of the most impressive debuts from an
Australian band in recent times!" (www.lifemusicmedia.com).

Transcension expands on the concept and knowledge of The Time Traveller, sharing the same
technicality, tied together with powerful melody and movement, lyrically reinforcing a positive
message of inner strength and unity.

Recorded at The Grove Studios outside of Sydney, the band re-engaged with producer Dylan
Mitrovich to bring this next musical chapter to life.

The first single Become The Light took to the airwaves on Triple J, Haug Radio, and a host of
digital and community stations. The single debuted along with other new material from the
forthcoming record whilst touring nationally with post rock legends Sleepmakeswaves.

The band will be releasing a limited pressing of individually numbered albums available
worldwide through Nucleus Music via pre-order only (www.breaking-orbit.com/preorder).

Transcension features the inspiring visual artistry of Cameron Gray (www.parablevisions.com)
who had the almighty task of illustrating the band’s musical expression.

The band's sophomore record is a testament to the ever growing national and international fan
base willing for this next statement from the dynamic and innovative ensemble. A preview series
showcasing the creative process and concepts behind the album will be presented via
www.breaking-orbit.com and social media.
