Dark Matter by Apocliptic
About Dark Matter
Just imagine. A wave of dark matter threatens earth. The quality of life will change drastically. The sun will slowly but surely turn into a giant ice planet and all life on earth will disappear.
An exo-planet in a nearby solar system seems to offer a solution.
Scientists discover that this planet is habitable for us humans. We leave Earth and embark on the journey. Mankind makes a reboot and builds a new society, but... aren't we making the same mistakes as in the past?
And then that dark matter... is it really certain that we are rid of it?
(Remember, this album is purely based on the fantasy of it's composer).
Officially released october 2022

About Apocliptic
Starting out in the mid 80's he has been active in music for over 30 years. The impetus to start making music himself was the documentary series "Cosmos".
This was a series about space that was musically supported by Vangelis. Inspired by this form of music making, Apocliptic also began making music using synthesizers.
From 2001 to 2019, he has done little to nothing with music. But it is in his blood, and it started to itch again. A training as a Sound Engineer / Producer of Sound Education Netherlands brought him the energy to pick up the music again. The contact with other musicians and composers ensured that the fire started burning again. This has now led to an interesting collaboration with Romerium who played along in some tracks of Dark Matter. He played some parts on the tracks "Cold Star" and "Magnificent".
After so many years Apocliptic has found its own style. A style in which the influences of Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre and Pink Floyd still can be found, but with a sound of its own. A sound that will be heard.
