Lover's Grief.Empyrium

The Oaken Throne

Wrapped in morning silence of these emerald streams 
lonesome voice I hear the ravens cry 
grieving art the morning songs 

The love of the forests' tranquility 
just ice cold winds whisper to me 
as if a wild rose were trapped 
my bleeding heart 
a gentle breeze opens wings and [_?_] falls apart 

Enchant 
like a dream 
the Franconian woods 
Enchant me 
embrace me 
Franconian woods 

Autumn infinity 
in the vastness of countless trees 
I walk through purity 
lies in the sceneries 

Cast for this winter hike 
I see the north and it's fountain of light 
morning from ice 
The scenery of the night

Empyrium - The Franconian Woods in Winter

A night of december so dark and cold,
I walked a path ages old
The moon amongst the clouds revealed
lightning valleys, forest and field

Embraced by silence I wandered the moor
an endless landscape by my side
when in the mist I saw a light
dancing through the hazy night

I stood and watched the play in awe
was deeply touched by what I saw
I told my friends what I did see
and what they told did tremble me!

It's said the ghost of a young, fair maid
is cursed to dwell beneath the shade
of the olden oak she died below
O that was many moons ago!

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. 

Distant Satellites (Tour Edition)

Take Shelter

10) Anathema - TAKE SHELTER

Outside the rain keeps falling
On foul soil, dying snow
Melting and transforming
to waters made of woe

Grey clouds brewing idle
the trees can not withstand
What is dead and gone by
is mixing with the sand...

...In the gutter of this spring

Inside the days remain
in a dim and lightless paint
and with the naked branches
the sun did not acquint

What is dead and gone by
and did not yet begin
is flowing to my hand
from the gutter of this spring

Empyrium - In The Gutter Of This Spring

in a world of confusion I held on to the things that made sense to me, the trees swaying in the wind, the crickets and bugs making noise, retro video game songs that filled me with life. these are the things that made me who I am.

my whole life I wanted to be seen, I wanted to feel emotions. but the world always found a way to take it from me. this is me attempting to give a space that doesn't take anything, a space that gives you compassion and empathy. 

I want to make sounds that inspire others to feel too.

take what you need from this space. 

if only i could say no
