If you still don't know Antimatter, you'll have to know that the band was founded by Mick Moss a really good

compositor/musician from Great Britain and Duncan Patterson that you probably already know for his work with Anathema.

After three albums and "Planetary Confinement" (2005), Duncan decided to leave the band to release his own personal

album. The fans of the combo, me the first, wondered if Antimatter was dead or if Mick still wanted to follow his road

with his band, and we learned lately that a new album "Leaving Eden" was in writing and then recording process. The new

album is out now, and you know what? Mick simply managed to write the best album of the band. For sure if you like

Antimatter and the best Anathema releases, "Leaving Eden" will be a must for you.

No doubt, "Leaving Eden" is the best release of Antimatter for me. The three first albums are all really cool that's

right but they are not fantastic too. "Leaving Eden" is fantastic. Always with this really sad atmosphere, the really

dark Progressive Rock of the British maestro is one more time extremely convincing. The album is composed of some sad

ballads, a bit like with some songs like "Forgotten Hopes" or "Make It Right" of "Judgment" (Anathema) if you see what I

mean. With a lot of acoustic guitars, piano, but also with cello, and electric guitars, "Leaving Eden" is really emotive

and I'm quite sure that you'll have shiver when you'll listen to the songs. Also, note that we don't have any female

vocalists here, this is Mick who sings on all the tracks and his beautiful bluesy voice fits perfectly to his music. All

in all, it's a matter of atmosphere with "Leaving Eden" and trust me, Mick managed to write songs that have a heart, a

spirit. It's maybe sad but it's touching and if you like Antimatter's previous CDs or the best Anathema releases you'll

simply love this album.

Talking about Anathema, I have to add that the lead guitarist on the album (among other guests) is Mr Danny Cavanagh.

The two musicians are good friends and Danny (as always) accepted without any problems to play the guitars soli that

you'll be able to find on the majority of the songs. One more time, his guitar play is wonderful and yes, it adds

something more to the music of Antimatter. With a perfect production "Leaving Eden" is one of the best releases of the

beginning of the year, especially if you like slow melancholic Prog Rock of course.

"Leaving Eden is a must. I say it one more time but this is the best release of Antimatter and I don't even understand

how you could miss this album. This is beautiful, sad on a side right but so emotive and with a such perfect music that

it's simply perfect. A must for the fans of the British dark Progressive(ex: Doom) Metal scene?.
