If Duncan Patterson (ex-Anathema), Les Smith (Anathema, ex-Cradle Of Filth) and Michelle Richfield (ex-Dominion) were working together, could you guess what the final result would be? Whatever your guess is you are probably wrong because Antimatter sounds like no other band. Their debut album "Saviour" was in my opinion one of the best debut albums last year with its unique form of audial melancholy. It was laid-back, psychedelic, beautiful and sad at the same time. The wealth of emotions brought to you through Antimatter's music is an experience you will not forget about easily. As you can easily figure out for yourselves I was very excited to hear the second album from the British musicians. The two Antimatter releases are like day and night, complete opposites from each other yet still very similar. "Saviour" was melancholic but with a sense of hope and bright white album cover. "Lights Out" on the other hand is completely black with only a small shining light, perhaps representing a human who is slowly running out of hope. The general atmosphere is needless to say much darker this time around. Personally I feel that the band made a wrong decision bringing in more male vocals into the mix and only letting Michelle lead the way on half of the tracks because the previous album would not have been the same without her. Not quite as strong as the debut but still a must-have for anyone who enjoyed "Saviour".
