1) 80s synth-pop band Anti-Matter… Read Full Bio ↴There are two bands named Antimatter.
1) 80s synth-pop band Anti-Matter formed by Xopher Davidson.
2) United Kingdom dark rock band Antimatter founded by Mick Moss. The project was originally a duo composed of founding member Duncan Patterson (former bassist/songwriter of Anathema) and Moss, being essentially an amalgamation of two solo projects working in tandem with each other, with each member writing and arranging their songs alone and compiling them in the studio later on to create an album.In this manner the pair released three albums together, Saviour, Lights Out and Planetary Confinement, after which Patterson left, in 2005, to start another band Íon. Moss continued Antimatter as an extension of his own timeline established throughout the first three discs, releasing the project's fourth album Leaving Eden in 2007. Followed Alternative Matter, Fear of a Unique Identity, The Judas Table, "Too Late", Welcome To The Machine, Live Between The Earth & Clouds, and, most recently, Black Market Enlightenment in 2018.
Xopher Davidson Anti-Matter
Xopher Davidson began his experiments in electronic sound from a basis in painting, film, and installation art, mixed with a long-time interest in electronics. While in primary school he learned to construct simple circuits, removing the components from old televisions and playing with step-up transformers. In 1985 the naively extremist project Jesus Wept was formed by James Chandler, John Hong, Will B. Gavin, and Davidson, beginning an era of tape manipulation. An electronic side project with James Chandler resulted in the (in)famous cassette release, Climatron. While attending school in Richmond, Virginia, Davidson completed the short black and white films Hess and Positioning Device, significant for its soundtrack of modulated full-frequency noise. He also started work on the trilogy of recorded sound pieces titled "Reflector," "Primer," and "Number," which was completed in 1990. Also during this period, Davidson performed with the noise fusion group 45-102, demonstrating an advanced position on sound in one public appearance. Presenting his work in numerous shows, he co-curated a major infrastructuralist show at the Henry Street Gallery. Davidson received a BFA degree in painting and sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1991.
In 1992, Davidson rode the train to Oakland, California, where he founded the seminal Exhibit < > space. In this storefront location (situated adjacent to a freeway onramp), he presented an ongoing installation of signs and diagrams which his paintings had evolved into. Listening here to the rumblings of the overhead freeway, it became obvious that the issue of sound needed to be (re)addressed. A year later, Davidson began work at the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College in Oakland, California. Here he performed and recorded sound in many forms, presenting three concerts of electronic music while working on his MFA. At this same time, Davidson constructed a trilogy of experimental 16mm films at CCAC's film studios, to be overlayed with sound developed at the CCM recording studio. As a member of the live electronic groups Citizen Band and Circular Firing Squad, he performed extensively in and around the San Francisco Bay Area and the Pacific Northwest. Davidson continues to collaborate with David Kwan performing their audio visual presentations, a mixture of order and decay, and are currently working on a series of DVD translations.
As an audio engineer, Davidson has worked on projects by/ for: The-Allies, John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, Diamanda Galas, Jhno, Zbigniew Karkowski, Lloop, Once 11, Hannah Marcus, Paul D. Miller, Mix Master Mike, Pepito, Phoenecia, The Soft Pink Truth, Jonah Sharp, Otto Von Schirach, Subtropic, Themselves, Tipsy, We, and Iannis Xenakis, to name a few.
In 1999 Davidson released the antimatter recording Transfixion on the Artifact label. In 2001 he released the influential infrasonic recording, Function Generator, in collaboration with Zbigniew Karkowski, on Portugal's Sirr.records. His 2003 release for asphodel antimatter vs. antimatter sounds the depths of 15 years of his experiments with recording, leading the concept of remixing into an unknown expanse. Davidson continues to conduct experiments in sound and image in his backyard workshop, The Treatment Center.

Legions
Antimatter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And long are the days in the morgue
Where god is a wall
Where god is a wall to look upon
Legions and hordes
The seas have been torn
And buildings remain where they fall
Through legions and hordes
A dark mass of infidels
Long is the howl at the end
A cry from the tail echoing
And fools reverberate
And fools reverberate and carry on
What have they done to themselves?
Look what have they done to themselves.
If you don't learn to leave this thing alone
You'll never get to see the sun again
You won't come out on top
The seed is sown
The lyrics of Antimatter's song "Legions" paint a bleak, post-apocalyptic picture of a world where God is nothing but a wall to be looked upon. The prostitute in the first line is described as stony and grey, perhaps representing a loss of humanity in a world that has crumbled to dust. The morgue serves as a reminder of the constant presence of death, and the long, drawn-out days suggest that life has become nothing more than a dull, meaningless routine.
As the song progresses, the image of black hordes emerges from the bleak landscape - a mass of people who have lost their way and succumbed to the darkness. These legions of infidels have torn the seas and left buildings in ruin, wandering aimlessly through the world with no sense of purpose or hope. The howl at the end is a desperate cry from the tail end of humanity, and the fools who reverberate only carry on with the cycle of destruction and devastation.
In the final lines of the song, there is a warning that echoes throughout the chaos - the seed has been sown, and those who cannot let go of their destructive tendencies will never see the sun again. The lyrics suggest that there is a way out of the darkness, but it requires letting go of the destructive patterns of the past.
Line by Line Meaning
Stony and grey is the whore
The prostitute is lifeless and emotionless, like stone, and miserable, like grey.
And long are the days in the morgue
Death is slow and drawn-out, with each day feeling like an eternity in the lifeless morgue.
Where god is a wall
God is an obstacle, an unmovable force blocking progress.
Where god is a wall to look upon
People look to God as a symbol of hope, but instead see an insurmountable barrier.
Legions and hordes
A large number of people, like soldiers marching in formation or a crowd moving as one.

And I solemnly walk
The artist moves with a sense of purpose and determination, in spite of the chaos around them.
Through legions and hordes
The artist moves through the crowds of people with a sense of detachment, observing but not interacting with them.
A dark mass of infidels

A cry from the tail echoing
The dying cry reverberates through the air, like an echo bouncing off of surfaces.
And fools reverberate
Ignorant and foolish people continue to echo their misguided beliefs and ideas.
And fools reverberate and carry on

If you don't learn to leave this thing alone
If you do not learn to let go of this destructive behavior or idea,
You'll never get to see the sun again
You will be consumed by the darkness and never experience light or hope again.
You won't come out on top
You will not achieve victory or success, but instead be defeated by your own actions.
The seed is sown
The destructive behavior or idea has already taken root, and will continue to grow and spread unless stopped.

this song is amazing ...
Stony and grey is the whore
And long are the days in the morgue
Where God is a wall
Where God is a wall to look upon
Legions and hordes
The seas have been torn
And buildings remain where they fall
And I solemnly walk
Through legions and hordes
A dark mass of infidel
Long is the howl at the end
A cry from the tail echoing
And fools reverberate
And fools reverberate and carry on...
What have they done to themselves?
Look what they've done to themselves.
If you don't learn to leave this thing alone
You'll never get to see the sun again
You won't come out on top
The seed is sown
