REVIEW: Antimatter - Saviour
Prophecy Productions, 2002
When a particle made out of antimatter makes contact with a
particle of common matter they will both completely disappear under the
emission of energy. Luckily this album from the band made it through to me...
The band called Antimatter is the creation of the former Anathema bassist
Duncan Patterson. He has also been helped out by his old bandmate Danny
Cavanagh and the former Cradle Of Filth member Les Smith has contributed with
his sampling. This is far from the works from Anathema and Cradle Of Filth
though. The music that Antimatter present on their debut album is laid-back
melancholic pop / rock with beautiful female vocals done by Michelle
Richfield. Some of you may know her from the band Dominion or her guest
appearances for My Dying Bride and Anathema. The melancholy is similar to the
Anathema atmosphere but other than that Antimatter is a whole new creation and
in my opinion this album is better than anything Anathema has ever done. If
you enjoy moody and passionate music with female vocals you should not miss
out on this release. The atmosphere is very suggestive and you can almost feel
the tender caress of the clouds of heaven while walking through this wonderful
soundscape painted by some of the finest musicians of the British Isles.
Definitely the strongest debut album of 2002 so far. The best thing about this
album is that it gets even better each time you listen to it. Just make sure
that you're not in the mood for some The Haunted or Cannibal Corpse when you
sit down to listen to it. Stand-out tracks: "Over Your Shoulder", "Psalms"
but there is not one single track that isn't great except for the acoustic
version of "Over Your Shoulder" which is done with male vocals that do not
sound that good.
