Album Notes & Community Reviews

Mick Moss's seventh studio album under the Antimatter moniker is a deeply introspective conceptual work reflecting on his history with addiction. The project leans heavily into dark, atmospheric progressive rock and acoustic guitars, punctuated by intense, metallic crescendos and the haunting addition of a qamancha (Persian violin).
