Anathema veröffentlichen mit „Distant Satellites“ ihr zehntes Studioalbum in ihrer über zwanzigjährigen Karriere. Der Stil wandelte sich um die Jahrtausendwende vom düsteren Doom Metal zum atmosphärischen, melancholischen Progrock/Artrock und nicht selten tauchen Vergleiche zu Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd oder späten Katatonia auf.
Die Band äußert sich wie folgt zu ihrem neuen Werk:
“Distant Satellites“ is the culmination of everything Aanathema 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. There is beauty, intensity, drama, quietude, and extra musical dimensions that the band have previously only hinted at. All built on the song writing chemistry of Daniel, John and Vincent and the haunting voice of Lee Douglas. Produced and mixed once again by our very own Christer-André Cederberg (Weather Systems, Universal) and with some songs also mixed by the unassailable Steven Wilson, It’s a special and unique release for the band. Anathema hopes the fans get as much joy from listening to and feeling the music as we did in creating it.”
