Antimatter Biography
Antimatter is the new project of longtime Anathema bassist Duncan Patterson, who quit the doom/death pioneers in the midst of their transition toward post-Floyd ambient rock territory. Paired up with guitarist Michael Moss, he also chose to explore uncharted waters in the form of ethereal ambient alternative rock laced with electronics. To assist them in this task, the duo drafted two "guest" vocalists in Michelle Richfield and Hayley Windsor to appear on their full-length 2002 debut, Saviour, which also featured a cameo from Patterson's former Anathema associate Danny Cavanagh. A second album, entitled Lights Out, followed a year later, and a third, Planetary Confinement, in 2005 (all three were released by The End Records), after which Patterson was said to have exited the group, leaving its future in doubt. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
