First time at BA
If you're looking for a moment in the Josefov Fortress where time stands still and the noise of the battlefield is replaced by introspective silence, Mick Moss is your only destination. Antimatter have long ceased to be just "that side project" associated with Duncan Patterson (ex-Anathema). Over decades of existence, Moss has evolved into one of the most compelling songwriters of the dark scene. Their music is a sonic expression of loneliness, betrayal, and existential dread, which chooses the path of precisely constructed atmosphere and emotional nudity over aggression.
Antimatter's discography is a well of sorrow that never feels pathetic. From early trip-hop experiments on Saviour, Moss has worked his way up to the art-rock mastery of albums like Leaving Eden or The Judas Table. The key element is Mick's baritone – a voice that sounds like smoking a pack of cigarettes in rainy Liverpool, full of depth and credibility. At Brutal, Antimatter will offer a contrast to the surrounding chaos; their set will be about layering melancholic guitars, subtle keys, and lyrics that cut to the bone. It's music for those who know that the greatest darkness doesn't come from hell, but from within ourselves.
