Selected Songs 2: Antimatter - Monochrome; Skunk Anansie - Charlie Big potato

Back to this format. Lets pick where we left last week and go back to Antimatter.

Antimatter - Monochrome from Fear of a Unique Identity
This for me makes me thing of when we keep waiting for a sign, a hint to move to act, and while that we conforme and accept what is happening around. I always say the auto-pilot life is dangerous you are doing things but not thinking about them, we use the excuses you find to explain yourself even though inside you know you are wrong.

Skunk Anansie - Charlie Big Potato from Post Orgasmic Chill

This song evokes a bit of despair/anger to me sometime sreleasing the anger is something well needed. Sometimes the most violent of screams are the silent ones no one can hear.  I think if someone could hear those the magnitude would be abismal.

«I awake
Dry the scream
Spit the vile breath
Till my tongue bleeds»

Selected Songs 1: Anathema - The Untouchable, Antimatter - Uniformed & Black

Today I wanted to share specific songs instead of an album, I need to collect more bands to present as a album and now  I have no time for that. So the first two songs are those in the title.

Anathema - The untouchable part 1 and 2, from Weather Systems
This song as been echoing in my mind, It has a mix of hope and despair combined in a single song, Hope to find our way and despair to know it is over, but it seems like he doesn't want to go on, He had to letter her go but he didn't want, maybe a romantic love, or paternal love for his daughter? I don't know, but evokes so well the idea of feeling too much and then the emptiness that remains for so long. I understand this so well.

»I Had to let you Go, to the setting Sun.
I Had do let you go. And Find a way Back Home»

Antimatter - Uniformed & Black from Fear of an Unique Identy

 This song calls too close to home, like when things keep on trying to mess with your sanity oh, so thin with each passing day. Like it is already running thin but everyday life still keeps on stretching it like it's nothing, waiting for us not to eventually snap. the last part of lyrics is specifically strong, Embracing a Lie, Got stuck on Rewind, when you keep reviving the past moments you can't go on.

«They'll wake you up when you're sane
Come rape what morals remain

Embracing a lie
Got stuck on rewind
Requiem in constant replay »


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both songs seem to revolve around the innerself and not being able to surpass a specific dark moment and to let the feelings fade away, whatever that feeling is, being it love, hate, despair....

Antimatter - Black Market Enlightenment(2018)

I had already two other posts prepared, but something came about that made me delay both of the publications. Antimaterr releades the first single from the new album, coming out in November for what I remember. The track revealed "The Third Arm", made me search for the new album to preorder right away, and made me also order an older one I didn't have and have been hearing it on repeat since yesterday October the 5th .
The dark atmosphere so tipycal of Antimatter is present yet again and the crescendo of the music, oh my god. Hope you enjoy it, and mad eme glad I bought the Under The Doom festival ticket.

Next two weeks be prepared for the return of two brother I love to ear in metal, and some new stuff I foun recently. Cheers

Sleeping Pulse - Under The Same Sky 2014

One of this days a bit after I made my first Antimatter Post, I stumble upon a band not only with the voice of Mick Moss from antimatter but also the musicians from Painted Black, a mixture of dark voice and doom musicality, the stuff I really like obvisouly with progressive in it, I was really amazed, I have to listen better this album, but coming from Luis Fazendeiro from Painted Black and Mick Moss I only expect something amazing
The video which came out, War, enjoy, while I prepare my next posts, This song gives me shivers is the best I can say about it.

Antimatter 2nd part - Judas Table (2015)

Recently I participated in a web music contest in a forum I'm in and decided to use Antimatter, sadly during the Semi-Finals, Prophecy decided to put the video private and I lost needing to recur to an awful live video, between other awful live videos taken with toasters lol from the back of the room, full of zoom

So back to what it matters, Judas Table gives us a life lesson, how many might have been using you till today, how you value someone who doesn't deserve, imagine you being at table with some friends/family and all of them stab you in the back... well that's the meaning of the album name

From start Black Eyed Man, this song talks about how some peoples lie constantly to your face without knowing you know they are lying, and as they ignore it they continue lying to you, then if they think they can go ahead with lying to your face, what else are they doing in your back? be carefull

Lastly Stillborn Empires, How some people problems arrive from birth and how they grew, and how that influences their lives, the part "It was a business doing pleasure with you" says how a sex act is only a business doing such things inverting the usual saying

Antimatter 1st part - Early Fase - Lights Out(2003) and Fear of a Unique Identity(2012)

Today I bring you one of my recent pleasures, Antimatter
Antimatter has unique sound along all their albuns which came from 2000 till today, it is a one man project which invites as needed some other musicians to join him.
It's pure progressive rock, with some metal influences here and there.
The sound has several changes and paces, if you like progressive rock/metal you can't miss it by all means possible

I will start with Lights Out(2003) and Fear Of a Unique Identity

From Lights Out I leave you the selftitled song and the last music from the album Terminal, as we were a terminal patient waiting for something is simply marvelous.

 

 
From Fear Of a Unique Identity I leave you the first song, Paranova. But please listen everything of them it's worth it, mainly Leaving Eden from 2007.

 

This is The kind of Sound to hear with ears fully open. 

Wednesday there will be no post for you to embrace Antimatter, and then Saturday, the second part of this Post
