#scarsymmetry #newalbum - เพลง
I am glad now as an adult i can afford my car with bose stereo system in it. I first heard holographic universe and pitch black progress in my fathers ML320 with bose speakers. The bass was insane in those albums. Yesterday i jammed overworld as my first song to shuffle through the album. I couldn't stop smiling. It's like scar symmetry gave me that nostalgia of being with my father again.
Holographic Universe is incredible.
I hope this one ends up being great 🤞
@@IllustriousCrocoduck this is their greatest work ever, hit play before you comment.
bose sub here 800rms, dont know how to let it work w my pc.. :( deepest lows -harman kardon tech... :(
i grew up listening to these guys when i was younger, im only like playthrough 5 o 6 on this album, but im gonna revisit everything else today.
I got my older daughter into metal, she and I love all of the Scar Symmetry albums. I bought Xenotaph on CD, and I've been jamming it in my car which also has a very nice sound system. I kept on harassing my daughter until she also purchased the album! Sent me a screenshot of her playing Soulscanner on Father's day, which is my favorite song on the album
This album is absolutely stellar. The more I listen to it, the more it sounds like a celebration of Pitch Black Progress in many ways. I love how dark, mysterious this beast sounds, it's dripping with atmosphere. You feel a sense of hope with the most beautiful melodies Scar Symmetry has written, and yet that darkness keeps hurling back at you like a monster in deep space. 10/10. AOTY.
I like how the clean vocals are set inside the music rather than way over top like power metal. It keeps the clean parts a little heavier sounding.
I still can't believe it tbh. After waiting for so long! The album is epic, from start to end.
15 days later and it's still on repeat
Looking forward to it! Scar Symmetry and Soilwork opened the door to melodic death metal for me ten years ago. I had no idea how amazing and creative the genre was back then.
Try Before The Dawn or his newest project Wolfheart. Both are amazing. Nightrage first couple albums are killer as well. They feature the At the Gates vocalist. Gotta love the old Arch Enemy albums with Johan and Angela’s albums were great too. Don’t really care for their newer vocalist. I love Soilwork though, I have every vinyl of theirs and this band is great too, I like Holographic Universe the best which seems to be a lot of peoples favorites.
The duel vocals on Hyperborean Plains are absolute auditory bliss.
After listening maybe a dozen times to each song, I love all of them above and beyond anything they have ever made before.
These songs have played in my mind more than they've played through my headphones these past two weeks! I've been transformed into a machine that only plays Scar Symmetry.
Something makes me feel like this album has a lot in common with Symmetric In Design, like it's the same species that has evolved for millions of years.
I've been waiting nearly 9 years for this album. So many things have happened in my life during this time. It feels uncanny, the timing of it, with its power and beauty locked in harmony as I grow in the world.
This album brings vivid imagery unlike any before, including hollographic universe. The moments of funk, though brief at times, linger with affect. Perilously, we make gains against the AI that reigns. The battfield is defined while the gridworm sneaks behind enemy lines. Signs of autonomy reappear, but history repeats itself.
Thank you Scar Symmetry.
This has always been one of the few melodic death metal bands that stayed consistent and never compromised. A unique sound that is coming to its second decade of making us all bang our heads! Stellar musicianship and chemistry throughout the entire discography, and this album is no exception!
Keep kicking ass and taking names, Scar Symmetry! I look forward to seeing you on the road!
This album is absolutely nuts! I absolutely did not expect it to have such brutal moments. I love it; well worth the wait!
If you’re a fan of Scar Symmetry, this record has everything for you and more. What an incredible album. Per has pummeled us with a musical avalanche of compositional genius again. All hail the bald bludgeoner🤘🏻
I've studied the lyrics of the album and have a general grasp of the story (I think), but it'd be nice to get a summary from Per or Henrik in one of the posts on the fanpage to let us know what exactly happens and where the album leaves off story-wise
Lyrics (part I):
Chrononautilus (0:00):
Spawned by newborn gods
Who view the flesh and bones as stepping stones
Towards greater deeds
That lie in wait beyond
Endeavor to sever the binding ties that hold
A locust swarm beckons the invasion of the soul
This will inspire fear, yet they cower in vain
Their negation of elation, so bizarre (lead them to this light of ours)
Behind the curtains that divide
They lead the masses to apparent light
Thoughts of concern never return, the altergeist instated
Pumped pre-programmed thoughts
The saturated systems overthrown
An invasive creed
That dictates choice for none
The dreaded embedded inside these programmed thoughts
Will focus the questions in direction of our cause
Behind the curtains that divide
Leading the masses to apparent light
Thoughts of concern never return, the altergeist instated
Once it is done, altered world view
Neural design to mechanize
But there is hope, a shadow descends
Chrononautilus
This will inspire fear, yet they cower in vain
Their negation of elation, so bizarre (lead them to this light of ours)
Behind the curtains that divide
Leading the masses to apparent light
Thoughts of concern never return, the altergeist instated
Once it is done, altered world view
Neural design to mechanize
But there is hope, a shadow descends
Chrononautilus
Fate will favor those few choices cleansed from fear
Inward woe dim the blazing stars, blacking out the sun
Night will fall on us, rejoicing world in tears
And our foe points to the reason we came to this present state
Forms block the sun
Sheer daymare
Objects spewed from infinity
Reality shivering, the colors fade
Released from skies that seem to sigh
With consolation
Discarding the beliefs, their pre-programmed thoughts
Continue charge, aim for control
Infernal tactics fail-safe, nanotech spores
The outcome in uncertainty
Behind the curtains that divide
Leading the masses to apparent light
Thoughts of concern sure to return, the altergeist negated
Once it is done, altered world view
Neural design brought to its demise
Liberation, the shadow descends
Chrononautilus

Scorched Quadrant (05:00):
Now gaze at this ashen world
A declaration of defeat
Awaiting the final strike
Drones will spearhead the descent
Dive down to the barren ground
Search for survivors in the filth and grime
Drones search high and low
Above and below
Exterminators without remorse or guilt
From scanning satellites
We're guided out of sight
As furious shapes emerge
Discovered targets die
Our way the wicked's coming
Drones deployed to destroy
Now observing out of sight
Scanners pick up human scent
Errors as they calculate
Inconclusive
Inferno upon the earth
Besieged scorched quadrant set ablaze
The machines deployed
Craft sent to destroy
Determination ignited their circuits
From scanning satellites
We're guided out of sight
As furious shapes emerge
Discovered targets die
Our way the wicked's coming
Drones deployed to destroy
Carrion of disease, causing certain mutation
Suffer those who survived
Politics of the tech generation
Forced, I slowly will become
A born transgressor
To restore what still remains
An example to alternate the platforms of war
I have seen a vision
The source undefined
I find myself immersed in conversation with the sky
Guided to the catacombs
By a coming race
From scanning satellites
We're guided out of sight
As furious shapes emerge
Discovered targets die
Our way the wicked's coming
Drones deployed to destroy
The quadrant burning bright
Scorned stands the sheltered site
Victorious grueling scourge
Those guided out of sight
Await the great undoing and avoid their downfall
Carrion of disease, causing certain mutation
Suffer those who survived
Politics of the tech generation

Overworld (10:09):
They gave to the condemned, a symphony of plotted lies
A fictional reality drawn from misleading facts
This recreated world, a prophecy realized
Events were synchronized behind an intricate disguise
Intuition left ignored
Freed from its buried state it will ascend
Radiant waves align and flow from a veiled overworld
Activate alien traits divine, to certain minds transferred
As knowledge lost descends, words now appear between the lines
What was in hiding, held unseen, brought forth through conscious acts
A message masked, unheard, keeping the power centralized
The herd disorganized, the masses desensitized
Intuition left ignored
Freed from its buried state it will ascend
Radiant waves align and flow from a veiled overworld
Activate alien traits divine, to certain minds transferred
Parallel advanced dimensions yearning for the stars
Solved the riddle of creation's equation
On through the stargates in migration to see another sun
Set the stage for man's creation, birth arranged
Freed from its buried state it will ascend
Radiant waves align and flow from a veiled overworld
Activate alien traits divine, to certain minds transferred
---
Altergeist (13:58):
Stand and face the altergeist
Victims of forced awakening
For your natural state is flawed
Taste the wisdom within induced second sight
Neophytes are shining transformed
Finding their purpose as slaves
Connections set to the main processor
Selves sacrificed for the sake of the whole
Unmodified, you are beings condemned
Kneel and unite with our doctrine, anti-cosmic at its core
Drained of all profound insight
Relieved from stored reasoning
Smart nanotech in the blood
That send signals and redirect every thought
Neophytes are shining transformed
Finding their purpose as slaves
A synthetic riptide of altered biology
Behold the altergeist
Now inject advanced respirocytes
Sent to invade through the blood
Biocide, a synthetic riptide
The neural pathways torn apart
Body parts and organs replaced by materials dead
Our creations of altered biology
Supreme shapeshifting majesty
We are here to obey
Cells communicate, voices in the shadows
Aim to annihilate the chakra of the heart
Connections set to the main processor
Selves sacrificed for the sake of the whole
Unmodified, you are beings condemned
Kneel and unite with our doctrine, anti-cosmic at its core
Now inject advanced respirocytes
Sent to invade through the blood
Biocide, a synthetic riptide
The neural pathways torn apart
Body parts and organs replaced by materials dead
Our creations of altered biology
---
Reichsfall (20:12):
Witness a gathering, planetary signs
Rising for ruthless reckoning, disobey the desensitized tide
As a redeemer of the nations disrupt the judgement day plot
Their dominion's widening denied
Uncrowned, leading the lost
Priming the oversoul, directed awakening
Guidance that will ignite, synapses afire
A cautionary journey and outcome
Carrying the weight of what's been done
Invite the dire harbinger, foreboding our destiny
Uproar in restless skies
Another chapter to unfold
Warfare is simmering, predatory hives
Crown of deceivers stand defied
Corrupted thoughts aligned - dehumanized
Rising to overthrow, predicted foreshadowing
Guidance that will ignite the system afire
Benign the dawn that rises to guide
Promethean insight divine
A cautionary journey and outcome
Carrying the weight of what's been done
Invite the dire harbinger, foreboding our destiny
Confront the royal blood
Military overlords
The automatons of authority, march high on synthetic adrenaline
All are guilty 'til proven slaves, it's time to rise
Rising to overthrow, directed awakening
Guidance that will ignite the system afire
A cautionary journey and outcome
Carrying the weight of what's been done
Invite the dire harbinger foreboding our destiny
A visionary turning of the tide
Burying the fear of what will come
Inverting dire consequence, dictating the remedy
Uproar in restless skies
Another chapter to unfold
It's time to rise!

Digiphrenia Dawn (25:26):
Primed to accelerate, advancement will escalate
Bow before emergent times, the digiphrenia dawn
If you turn off the machinery, you turn off our hearts, our souls
Nothing but circuitry remains
With the soul in control
Find rebirth in the splendor of new paradigms on earth
A vision of mankind renewed, sprung from a tainted mind
Inventors are measured through their inventions (digiphrenia dawn)
Primed, born to dominate, this world is ours to devour
Crush the divergеnt tide through dense conspiracy
Whеn they are one with the circuitry, we decide their line of thought
Nothing but compliance is left
With the soul in control
Find rebirth in the splendor of new paradigms on earth
Deep within conviction, there's a force that moves the earth below and sky above
It's burning with ambition, strive to realize the visions of a song unsung
A vision of mankind renewed, sprung from a tainted mind
Inventors are measured through their inventions (digiphrenia dawn)
An ulterior motive lurked in our actions, the plan relied on your naivete
Slavery introduced in most blatant ways and still you bow and beg for more
A plan conceived, prepared for aeons, that lead us to this dawn
With the passing of the seasons we molded a slave state
You all believed our fictious reasons and aimed for a mirage
You enabled the completion of your disgraceful fate
Your will disintegrates and our agenda stands empowered
Through unnatural selection
With the soul in control
Find rebirth in the splendor of new paradigms on earth
A vision of mankind renewed, sprung from a tainted mind
Inventors are measured through their inventions (digiphrenia dawn)
Deep within conviction, there's a force that moves the earth below and sky above
It's burning with ambition, strive to realize the visions of a song unsung
🆒️🆒️🆒️
Dude, you're seriously the chosen hero that the legends speak of.
thank you
Well done.
Got my CD on friday and managed it to listen to the complete album 7-8 times. Its so damn good
It’s here 🥹
The years go by and you remain at the same level as the previous albums.
Technical quality and feeling in the best melodic deathmetal out there today.
Standing applause for another great work of metal! 👏👏👏💪💪💪💪
I can always rely on this band to make great music
I haven't listened to anything else for two months. IT'S SO GOOD
This is an entirely new level of quality of music. This is absolutely excellent. Thank you for sharing. These vocals are some of the best in the genre. Epic work
I got this album!!
from japan❤
Scar Symmetry-это тот редкий случай,когда у группы не только нет плохого альбома,но и трека,который мне бы не нравился.Слава космосу и этот альбом оправдал ожидания.Я очень надеюсь,что длинных перерывов между альбомами не будет)
YES! This is just outstanding. The 9 years was SO worth the wait - it's exceeded all my expectations. Sublime work,
Its tough to say how good this album is, compared to their previous records...because lets be honest, every SS album is absolutely captivating, and damn near as perfect as melodeath can be. Insomnium, Omnium gatherum, In Mourning, In Flames, and Scar symmetry...Its been a great year for melodeath.
Excellent album. Just fascinating. Another epic Scar Symmetry spectacle.
After multiple listens, I feel happy to report that "Chrononautilus", "Scorched Quadrant", "Overworld", "Altergeist", "Reichsfall" and "Xenotaph" all are amongst my most favorite Scar Symmetry songs now.
You gentlemen just keep evolving - and I'm very eager to witness what kind of graceful beast Phase III is going to be, now that Scar Symmetry is blessed with the force of two absolutely phenomenal guitar players.
I also really like the story of "Phase II", as I am certain that the true neohuman will not be the product of cybernetic augmentations and synthetic biology, but rather emerge naturally as the result of consciousness (/spiritual) evolution and a life-respecting, sane, advanced socio-economic system that operates for the benefit of all humanity, not just for the fortunate few at the top of the pyramid.
Sending you much love ❤
The album is stellar. It flows wonderfully and the density of the songs means they get better with every listen. Sick riffs, great melodies, incredible solos, crushing drums, some of the best clean and dirty vocals in the SS catalogue, it’s catchy, progressive, technically impressive, brutal and beautiful. 10/10 masterpiece of progressive melodic death metal. Per is one of the best kept secrets in the guitar sphere. His work in SS, Kaipa, Zierler and other projects demonstrates that virtuosity and musicality are not mutually exclusive but in fact two facets of achieving greatness.
Is Kaipa any good? I fucking adore the Zierler album though
@@necroplastful they kinda sound like Kansas. They are prog rock so definitely not as heavy as Zierler or Per’s other projects. Check out “In The Wake Of Evolution”.

I think I'm about to cry now. I listened to you when I was very young, I met your group when I saw the pvp video for the game world of warcraft - drakedog 8. the song scar symmetry - reborn was playing in that video. this is still my favorite song. Now I'm 31, and with wet eyes I saw with happiness that my favorite band has recorded an album!
disarmonia mundi, scar symmetry, dark age. these are the most unforgettable bands for me, which gave me unreal memories and emotions for life! thank you! with great respect from Russia, your devoted fan for the rest of your life is Konstantin.
Ghost prototype I, reborn, outside the inside, the anomaly, and a bunch of other songs I just get goosebumps and my head is spinning from it!
Don't ever stop making music! This is the best balance of sounds to me. Great Fkin job lml
This is the best album (from any band) I've heard since phase 1, hands down.
i kinda dont understand that statement. all other albums of them were better than phase 1... but phase 2 is awesome. true
@@MetalGuitarTimo well phase one was their latest album, so basically what I'm saying is I haven't seen a better album from other bands since then. I'd put holographic universe up against phase II but I haven't heard anything else that matches it
@@mcdonalduck oh ok now it makes sense :) to me phase 1 was kinda weak compared to their previous stuff
@@MetalGuitarTimo nah all albums are unique in their own way, phase 2 is their best work though. Insanely creative and melodic.
@@MetalGuitarTimo Phase I offered much more "proper" Scar Symmetry (more reminiscent to their first three albums) than Dark Matter Dimensions or The Unseen Empire. I like all of their albums in a way, but Phase I was still the best post-Älvestam album for me.
Ever since I first heard you guys on Pitch Black Progress in high school, I've been streaming all your work everywhere. Growing with you and still listening you is wonderful
_Valeu a pena esperar. Muito bom o álbum dos caras._ 🤘🏽
All I can say is thank you. We need you guys and as long as there is juice in you, please don't leave us hanging for 8 years again.
I'm listening with tears in my eyes.
You are amazing.
CELLS COMMUNICATE!!!! GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS. SOULSCANNER IS MY FAVOURITE. OVERWORLD IS MY SECOND FAVOURITE AND DIGIPHRENIA DAWN IS MY THIRD. What an album I tell ya.
Reichsfall and Digiphrenia Dawn for me so far, but I still have 5 tracks left. I love how Digiphrenia Dawn sounds so much like a classic SS song.
The Swedish metal masters hit it out of the park again. This band is so needed. Unique sound, intelligent songs, melody, riffs, vocals...everything is perfect.
im allways worried when a band releases an album after a long time without anything new. so seeing the band that got me into metal release something new after 10 years had me both excited and worried.
i shouldnt have been worried, this is a great album!
Hyperborean Plains and Gridworm!
Are my favourites at the moment, but all songs constantly evolves, new details emerges and grows on you. This album will last for ever.
I just have to say, this is one of those bands I’ve heard about for a while but never got around to trying it out. Really took me too long, this is incredible. Brings together a lot of styles and enjoy in a way that’s very inspiring for me and I think it will influence my music going forward. Really great stuff here.
I think as of yet it never happened to me that i rated an album as my all-time favourite after just one listen. I felt like after just 1 hour runtime i got at least 3-4 hours worth of content. Every single second is just so packed with energy, variety, interesting riffs, sounddesign and just amazing musicianship in general it's mindblowing. After mostly leaving metal behind for a while and so much time passing, i never thought i would see a new Scar Symmetry album again. And just when i get the random urge to check out old favourite bands almost 10 years later this pops up.
The Singularity Phase 2 is an amazing accomplishment that will accompany me for many years to come. Thank you.
Hey guys. I am so grateful to you guys. When I had a bad time myself, your album Pitch Black In Progress was my absolute favorite album.
Now I'm 41 and I know about your musical achievement. I find your solos super, the songwiring terrific and the jumps between the modes just fat.
I've always been waiting for your albums and you've always been able to step it up a notch.
I never managed to see you live until now. Either I had to play myself, I was drunk, or otherwise prevented.
Now the world is in a state of flux and I don't think there will be gigs for much longer, the semi-professional musician league is being dismantled more and more, there are almost no clubs anymore and the eco-climamist will unfortunately wipe out our guild of art.
Maybe we will still see each other somewhere in this universe.
Peace on all your ways!
Streaming what looks to be your best album ever, for free, on youtube, isn't going to stop me from buying it. Nice try though
I have loved your music since 2006. Your music has kept me going through my darkest times. Words can't express how much your music means to me.
I've had your music in my ears since I met my first girlfriend 17 years ago. I met her on the same day I was introduced to you guys. I remember her fondly, but only my relationship with Scar Symmetry lasted. I'm going to leave a few of my thoughts on my first listen here.
I love what you've done with the vocals!
Chrononautilus aligns perfectly with my brain. I once had it on repeat an entire workday and it only improved my focus.
Scorched Quadrant made me sad.
Overworld made me happy. Very happy. The chorus gives me chills every time. It may be my new favorite.
Altergeist is so many new things I can't tell how I feel. On the first listen I made many surprised facial expressions. It's very interesting!
Reichsfall has hypnotized me with its rhythms, especially guitar.
Digiphrenia Dawn gives me nostalgic feelings of your previous songs but I can't point to any songs. It's like I remember a song of yours that doesn't exist?
Hyperborean Plains... I don't know how I feel yet.
Gridworm I can not explain. It gives me an alien feeling that I will have to explore. The guitar work is remarkable.
A Voyage With Tailed Meteors sounds like Dimmu Borgir snuck into the recording studio. Very refreshing and different! It still has that Scar Symmetry feel.
Soulscanner gives me serious Holographic Universe feels. And then Symmetric In Design feels. And a little Dark Matter Dimensions. And a little something else. I love it.
Xenotaph made me say "oh my god" out loud. That doesn't happen often. What is this chorus? No way. How do you do this? My jaw is hanging open throughout this one. I have no words. Absolute gods of metal the lot of you.
This whole album feels like the essence of Scar Symmetry. If I'm recommending you guys to someone, this is the album. I'll go listen to it 200 times now. Thank you for making life more interesting!
We are pleased to read about the emotional response that our music stirs you with! The album stretches out in quite a few directions and it is very interesting to see how people have very different favourite songs! Thank you for your review :)
Interesting, I thought Altergeist was 100% the Dimmu Borgir song!
I remember when first time listen SS... Nothing not changes, welcome back here we go again 🤘🤘🤘
🤘 I missed you guys...I'm not disappointed..even with the 9 year wait, this connects seamlessly with Phase I. And now, I'm busy headbanging
Added to my playlist before the opening track even finished. Holy shit that was good
It's like the new disarmonia mundi album we deserve
You might also like the song Black Out by Vicious Rain. Rather different from this but still. Something about the song gave me a bit of a Disarmonia mundi feel.
After so many years we finally can come to witness the legend return. Part 2 has final arrived. The wait is over. Can our mortal minds handle this invasion of greatness. Now all I need is disarmonia mundi to release their new album.
Bought the CD, waiting for it to arrive in Australia! Thank you so much!
Me too, waiting for JB to text me
@@dannyblitz2122 mate, is JB HI5 selling this?
@@ScorpWriter Yeah, but you have to order it in. For phase 1 it was on the shelf.
@@dannyblitz2122 yeah, I got mine when it came out ages ago from a jb store
I've been a fan on this band since 2004, Symmetric in Design. You guys are always on my rotation for music and I got my oldest brother into you guys as well, he absolutely loves you guys. Sharing the experience of listening to this album for the first time with him is something I will never forget. This album gives me so much emotion and nonstop goosebumps. You guys continue to grow and Improve with every single album l. This one knocked it absolutely out of the park. Every single song is memorable and the atmosphere is both hopeless feeling and beautiful at the same time. This could be my album of the decade to be quite honest. I'm already on my fifth listen and I can't get enough. Such an amazingly talented band and still criminally underrated in my book. Keep up the amazing work and I hope to one day see you guys live. 🤘🤘
I love this album more and more with every listen, it's just so good. I especially love Hyperborean Plains the most, but damn Overworld might have the catchiest riffs yet. Been on repeat since it came out, just thank you for the amazing music and this album was so well worth the wait.
Absolute banger. Undisputed kings of melodeath.
🔥❤ Love this new album!
Everyday another Refrain stuck in my Ears.
Why am I so addicted to this album. I haven't listened to anything else in like 2 months.
Man, I need to stop coming back to this album.
I listen to it, then I get a song stuck in my head, but I don't remember which song it is, so I just listen to the whole album again the next day, and this process goes on for a few weeks...
Also respect for Per to be liking comments and answering to people here. Jättebra! (Only swedish I know)
Overworld has probably one of the best chorus' I've heard in a long time. Beautiful musicianship as usual from the kings. So glad you are back. Perfect album!
A masterpiece worth the wait. Excellent work, thank you guys.
It's things like this album that make me glad I'm alive in 2023.
Album of the year. You guys killed it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Scandinavia's Scar Symmetry Slams!
Finest Melodic Death Metal!💥💯💥🤘😆
Full of Scars Straight from the Start!
More Per on vocals please, he's really good, love Digiphrenia, entire album rocks!! This is the closest thing I've ever heard to the genius and brilliance of Hollographic Universe, this is it! You've hit it! Me so happy!!!
I didnt think phase 1 could be improved upon but you really did it. The melodies here are absolute perfection and this will be among my favorite albums forever.
However, I do have some thoughts about the story here. By introducing gods to this, we have crossed the line from science fiction to science fantasy, which is not inherently a bad thing. But as said in phase 1 the cyborgs are beings who aim to transcend space and time so we would basically have gods fighting against gods. One side turning the tide so easily feels unsatisfying and kinda forced. as phase 1 states these machines can survive independent of the environment so who knows how far they have spread throughout the universe? how can we know the virus really got them all?
I hope phase 3 realizes how much untapped potential there is to this story and brings back the artificial gods. maybe some have survived somewhere and are now plotting revenge against the destruction of their empire. we could have gods fighting gods on a monumental scale.
Anyway, looking forward to phase 3 regardless of how it turns out.
Best band ever :) Please continue i love your music 😊
I am very happy, that your new album is out now 🥰🤘
You guys created some of the best Melodic Death Metal albums that I know.
Hails from Germany!
FINALLY! ALREADY IN LOVE! COME FORTH NEOHUMANITY
Better than what I was expecting, bravo!
Absolutely amazing album. I was so hyped when I found out about the release yesterday and I was not disapponted. Yoinked a ticket for the tour, too. Looking forward to the live show!
You have no idea how good it feels to hear you again
I was waiting for it, amazing album in all senses, lyrics, music, pff guitar solos brutals, greetings from mexico lml
ОДИНИ ИЗ САМЫХ ЛУЧШИХ МЕТАЛЛ ГРУПП❤
Truly perfection.
Nice melodic and mellow Solo, great clean vocals too
Was a great gig at On the rocks 16.3.! Got half of the setlist and a hug from Per! Haha 👍 suggest anyone to see em live.
Loving, loving, loving this album! Your sound has gotten so tight and perfectly synchronised over the years, without losing any of the punch. This was well worth the wait. Thank you!!! 🤘
we finally wait for THE TRUE MD MASTER Scar Symmetry coming back in 2023, I don't heard any MD albums that can impress me for a really long time, it absolutely one of the BEST ALBUM in 2023
A breathtaking album from start to finish! All the hype was definetly worthwhile! You guys are the best!
I am a fan of Japan. 🇯🇵
I've been waiting for you to come to Japan for a long time! Now I'll finally get to see them...
I really like the new albums Over World and HIPERBOREAN PLAINS 🤩.
What a album! Listen in breath! Per Nillson is best lead player on Earth 🙏
these last two albums are wonderful, enigmatic and bring a dense atmosphere and still not understood by many. Your style is unique, it's real and surreal in the same musicality.😈🤘🪐🖖🫀
Woah ! Et bien... on l'aura attendu celui-ci !!! The Singularity Phase I étant mon album préféré de la discographie (intro magique et solo guitare du dernier morceau avec refrain final... juste magnifique) je ne sais pas si ce nouvel opus parviendra à le détrôner ! Mais çà envoie du lourd !!!!
You know an album is an insane masterpiece when everyone's favorite song is different but we all like all the songs almost equally... Well played guys, your music is mesmerezing !
so happy to see you in around 3 weeks
#soon !
It's been a bit since I've listened to Scar Symmetry, last time I majorly did was like 10 years ago, I did not know there was no new music for a long time, it's nice to see a new album came out and you guys put it on TH-cam for free too! It sounds great so far!
The boundaries of music and art are not pushed by unintelligible polyrhythmies and one-string absurdities, but by new melodies and soundscapes that everyone can feel. Djento-core does the first while Scar Symmetry do the second.
This album is everything. I've been around and it has been years since I was this excited for a record. I have been listening to it several times a day for weeks, it's almost embarrassing at this point. And I've never even been a big fan of the genre. It's just banger after banger, perfect production, every single melodic chorus is a straight fucking banger and I'm running out of words jesus fucking christ mate

Not usually a big fan of this style of extreme metal, but this is phenomenal.
Been a fan since I first heard your music for the first time in the early 2010s. So happy that the quality of music Scar Symmetry produces is still top notch. Fantastic album and bravo!
The production value is awesome! Just listened to this band for the first time, and I'm seriously impressed.
Master album guys! The CD arrived on time on the 8th.
My most listened album of 2023
Can't stop listening to the sub title track, Xenotaph. WOW! I listened to it at work about 20 times in a row the other day.
It's so cool to finally hear the Xenotaph choir in the whole song! I'm thrilled that I could be included in those vocals!! Amazing album
Same here! Feels like so long ago recording that bit hah
A voyage with tailed meteors Solo after the beautiful part is my favorite sequence so far :D
Thankfully I’m seeing them next saturday
There's been a long time since I had so much expectations to listen a new upcoming metal album, and I'm delighted that it paid off a lot! You're one of the greatest active metal bands on my count, keep doing what you're doing!
This is stupendous loved every second. Now to buy it on vinyl
holy crap, the wait was worth it
About F'n time!
