English progressive rock band ANATHEMA will release their new studio album, Distant Satellites, on June 10th via Kscope. The follow-up to 2012’s Weather Systems, was recorded at Cederberg Studios in Oslo, Norway with producer Christer-André Cederberg. Distant Satellites will be available in three physical formats including a 3-Disc Deluxe Edition with a 44 page hardback book and DVD, a Media Book Edition with 24-page booklet and a 2XLP Edition with 180 gram double vinyl with 8-page LP booklet. The album is available for pre-order in various packages at this location.

The beautifully ethereal artwork was created by Korean new media artist Sang Jun Yoo and based around his Distant Light Installation.

The band has released the following statement regarding their new 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.

There is beauty, intensity, drama, quietude, and extra musical dimensions that the band has 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.”
