Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating essentially as the solo project of Mick Moss, the fifth album under the Antimatter moniker is a profoundly bleak conceptual exploration of societal conformity and isolation. The record noticeably shifts away from their acoustic-based melancholy, incorporating heavy, driving electric guitars and prominent 1980s-inspired synthesizer textures. It functions as a dense, atmospheric, and incredibly gloomy interpretation of modern progressive rock.
