FROM 1998 -
OVERVIEW
Antimatter was formed in 1998 by former Anathema luminary Duncan Patterson and long time friend Michael Moss. The debut album 'Saviour' was recorded in 2000 yet didn't see a worldwide release until 2002. A live acoustic recording 'Live@K13' was released following a short european tour in 2002. 2003 saw the release of the band's second studio album 'Lights Out', followed by an American tour and dates in southern Europe, France and Estonia. 2005 will see the bands third studio album 'Planetary Confinement' released through Prophecy Productions and The End Records. Duncan has since quit the band and is concentrating on another project Íon. Mick is continuing under the name Antimatter, and his new album 'Leaving Eden' is scheduled for release in 2006.

Former Anathema bass player Duncan Patterson is back! After his split with Anathema in the Summer of 1998 after the recordings of the 'Alternative 4' album he chose his own path. (...) He found Michael Moss as his new compagnion and got vocal assistance from Michelle Richfeld (who we know as the female vocalist on the first album of Dominion) and Hayley Windsor as well as former Cradle of Filth and nowadays (again) Anathema keyboard player Les Smith who helped with the sampling. So what can we expect from this gathering of musicians who have paid their debts to the melodic metal scene in Great Brittain? Music like the earlier mentioned bands probably? Wrong!! According to Duncan Patterson, the music can be best described as "experimental dark orchestral ambient electronic dub with female vocals". "
