DISTANT SATELLITES

Anathema are one my all time favourite bands. Their music resonates with me on an intensely emotional level that no other band does. Their music is pure emotion. Distant Satellites shares many similarities with their previous two releases, but at the same time pushes the band into new territory which is particularly apparent in the albums second half with the electronic influences. There is also a darker vibe to the music, which I find to be a welcome change from their recent output. With the songs themselves I enjoy every track on the album, but without doubt the highlight is the title track Distant Satellites. One which I gladly rank as one the band's best songs in their extensive catalogue. Like all Anathema albums, Distant Satellites will take you on an stirring emotional journey. For me this is the best album of the 2014 so far.
