Anathema will release their new album, Weather Systems, on April 24 via The End Records. The LP is a follow-up to the band’s 2010 effort, We’re Here Because We’re Here and finds them exploring polar opposites such as light and shade, birth and death, love and fear.

“It feels like we are at a creative peak right now, and this album reflects that. Everything from the production to the writing to the performances are a step up from our last album,” said Daniel Cavangh. “This is not background music for parties. The music is written to deeply move the listener, to uplift or take the listener to the coldest depths of the soul.”

The band worked with producer Christer-Andre Cederberg (Animal Alpha, In the Woods…, Drawn). The 5 times Norwegian Grammy nominated producer earned nothing but praise from Daniel who called him “ a revelation.” “His calmness and brilliance has helped to bring about the greatest inter-band chemisty that Anathema have experienced together in their career,” exclaimed Cavangh.

While Daniel doesn’t believe that Weather Systems will be the best album the band will ever release, he does credit it as being their best record to date. “We are pleased and proud of the record and we feel that, alongside the best moments of WHBWH, this record contains our very best work so far in what is becoming a long career,” he explained.
