Saviour is the debut release by UK dark rock outfit Antimatter formed by ex-Anathema bassist and songwriter Duncan Patterson and Mick Moss. This album is a bit of an outlier for Antimatter's discography as it contains elements of ambient electronica, goth and trip-hop not representative elsewhere. The macabre mood oozes with melancholy, alienation and death. Atmospherically, this listening experience resides somewhere between early Portishead and current Anathema. Flowers is the track of choice with its haunting lyrics, "I had a dream, far away from here // Far away from you, far from all the pain // With strength in numbers, the sad betrayal braves // Return to desecrate those memories // And there you were taking flowers from my grave" Extra credit to Hayley Windsor and Michelle Richfield alternating on lead vocals.

| 1.5 very poor | Rik VII (sound-off ratings out of 10) | July 23rd 19 |
Weak vocal performances and uninteresting songwriting make this a tedious listen. This is worsened by the atrocious drum computer that is taken use of frequently throughout the album. The only sincerely good track: Going Nowhere, an atmospheric ambient closer that would not have felt out of place on the Eternity album. - 3.0

I gotta be honest, I listened to this disc a lot of times and I really really don't remember practically any of the tracks on here.
