Weather Systems: Ocean Without A Shore Live In 25

Daniel Cavanagh, co-founder, principle songwriter and former lead guitarist of Anathema, channels three decades of musical experience into his new band, Weather Systems. In the band is also former Anathema drummer and producer Daniel Cardoso.

Weather Systems announced a global release date of September 27 for their anCcipated debut album Ctled Ocean Without A Shore, via Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group.

“This record is more direct, honest, and from the heart,” Cavanagh affirms. “It takes you on a journey with some very personal, intense, and emoConal songs. It’s spiritual for me. The music is coming from a higher place, so I hope it touches you.”

In 2019, Daniel immersed himself in wriCng what he believed would be the next Anathema offering. Two years prior, the long-running UK-bred group reached numerous criCcal and commercial milestones with its final LP, The Op(mist. It took home “Album of the Year” at the Progressive Music Awards, marked their second Top 40 entry on the UK Albums Chart, and capped off 2017 on year-end lists from AXS, Classic Rock, Metal Hammer, and The Independent, to name a few. In the studio, he hit his creaCve stride with a myriad of elegantly heavy and enigmaCcally entrancing material. However, 2020 saw the band agree upon an indefinite hiatus. As such, the majority of Ocean Without A Shore originated during those Anathema sessions.
