Anathema - Distant Satellites

There are albums that keep you company for a little time, and then there’s Anathema, with ten songs that definitely are here to stay. Tenth studio album of the Liverpool based band, “Distant Satellites” is the album that better summarize their musical growth. A dreamy, melancholic and sometimes dark atmosphere permeate the whole album,  and the final result is emotionally overwhelming. 

The highlights of the album are the three part of “Lost song”, in which Vincent Cavanagh and Lee Douglas sing  the same story by two points of view, reminding a bit of “Untouchable”.

And, if your heart is still whole in your chest,  there come “Dusk (dark is descending)” and “Ariel” to finish the job.  “Anathema” is an anthem, sort of a link between past and future, a song that reminds of Alternative 4 but with the mood of the latest albums.

The last three songs leave more space to some experiments with electronic sounds. The result? Is magic. Anathema tear my heart in pieces once again, ’cause Distant Satellites it’s me, it’s us, it’s a way to remind everyone that love’s the only thing that matters, in the end.
