Antimatter – Angelic (Parallel Matter)

Yesterday, Antimatter released the first single from their upcoming album, Parallel Matter, set to be released in January. The album breathes new life into older songs, revisiting and reimagining them with a fresh perspective. The first track, “Angelic (Parallel Matter),” originally appeared on their 2001 debut album, Saviour.

This new version is more than an update—it’s a reinvention. The original had a raw, minimalist charm that worked well for the band’s earlier sound, but this version feels heavier, fuller, and more deliberate. Mick Moss’s vocals, already one of the defining elements of Antimatter, feel even more resonant now. There’s an emotional weight to his performance that adds a new dimension to the song.

The arrangement has been refined too. The guitars have a bolder presence, the mix is more polished, and subtle production tweaks make the song feel contemporary without losing its essence. It’s louder, yes, but also more layered. It pulls you in and holds you there, which is what Antimatter does best.

Mick Moss continues to prove how underrated he is as a musician. His voice—often compared to Eddie Vedder’s—carries a distinctive honesty and depth. Whether or not the comparison holds, there’s no mistaking the power and uniqueness he brings to this track.

I do prefer this version over the original. It’s a deeper, more intense listening experience. However, I won’t share the original version here, and that’s a choice I stand by. The original co-writer no longer represents what Antimatter is today, and this reimagined version feels entirely Mick’s. It’s his vision, his voice, his story now.

If this track resonates with you, the full album Parallel Matter will be released in January. You can [preorder it here https://antimatter.bigcartel.com/ to experience all the reimagined versions in their entirety.

Go listen, and let it consume you.
