It's Hard To Get Around The Wind (Alex Turner cover)

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)

The Lost Song Part 2

2) Anathema - THE LOST SONG part 2

Talkie Walkie

Alone in Kyoto

A song for the 99% - written with the current situation in Greece in mind. Arrangement and orchestration by Yousef Khalil.

LYRICS:

Think of the businessman, 
Think of the big man getting off on little people's pain
They'll pay

Think of the bureaucrat
The pencil pusher doing as he's told
He holds no sway
He says

CHORUS
The bind's unwinding
The masses finding
Hidden voices
They're making noise 
At the breaking point

Beware the underdog
Watch out for souls 
Forgotten in the cold
They'll have their day
You wait

Watch for the everyman
Look out for let down little people
Ready to explode
They'll blow

Breaking Point (with Yousef Khalil)

Music by Craig Sutherland, vocal melody and lyrics by Metaphorest x

I’m bulletproof with you
Nothing you wouldn’t do
To keep me safe from harm

In your arms
In your arms

You’re always on my side
You let me decide
Just who I am

When the sky came down on me
You came and set me free
From underneath the stars

In your arms
In your arms



In Your Arms (With Craig Sutherland)

This started out as an instrumental piece by Albert Jones-Jennings over on HitRECord. I wrote some lyrics and a vocal melody to go with it, The Morning Hollows sang along and Robert J. Mills added some extra instruments and production wizardry to the track.
