While touring in North America with Alcest and Mamiffer, Anathema’s Vincent Cavanagh has revealed that the band will begin recording a new record in December, which will be the follow-up to 2012’s utterly stellar Weather Systems. In an interview with Decibel, the guitarist and vocalist said “we’ve just released [live album] Universal, which was a lot of work. Now, we’ll be recording the new album in December.”

Vincent added on the topic of producer: “Christer [André Cederberg] again. He’s our guy now. He’s our George Martin. [Laughs] Yeah, man. He’s the guy we’ve been waiting for all these years. He’s kind of in the band, in a way. When we’re in the studio, he’s right there. He’s part of the team. He’s part of the sound we’re trying to create.”
