This album is in my top 5 albums ever. His solo project Solution.45 has an epic first album too
Yes he can’t be touched on his range of vocals
The title track is mt fave song of maybe all time but I think it's honestly one of their worst albums. Still amazing though.
And both Solution 45 albums were great as were many of Christian's other bands. Espcially when he plays guitar. Love his riffs so much.
One of the greatest metal albums ever created.
Scar symmetry is awesome! Per Nilsson is one of my favorite guitarists
This album is so underrated...perfect stuff!
Scar Symmetry is perfect, beautiful.
🥰🥰🥰
When Christian Alvestam left the band, they had to hire two guys to replace him. 'Nuff said.
Okay, so that's not quite true. According to Per, Christian had trouble both singing clean and growling on tours, so they *decided* to have two separate vocalists and Christian even recommended either Lars or Robert to them when he left the band. That's not supposed to take away from his singing and I also like Solution .45, but spreading that rumor makes it sound like a dishonest affront to the current band members, who are great, too.
They went separate ways, i think they respected each other to not mention the bad stuff, I’m a big fan of this band. It was something that would happen, rather leave n talk crap like other ppl. They decided it was best to move on, but it still love the band.
Hell yes he is one of my favorite vocalist
@@satanslittlehelper802 That's also not the full truth. From TVTropes page:
"The gist of why Christian Alvestam was kicked out. Per has made it clear that while he still respects Christian as a musician, he has absolutely no respect for him as a person; his habit of doing things like rejecting tour offers without the consent or knowledge of the other members because he didn't like touring didn't inspire any goodwill, and neither did his habit of writing parts that he knew he couldn't consistently pull off live because he had no intention of touring in support of it. The latter was also the reason why they went for a dual-vocalist setup, as he was sloppy to begin with and the idea had entered their heads long before he was fired."
Holographic Universe is my favorite song from the album, the heaviest one probably.
O, definitely. Though, my favorite is Ghost Prototype 1.
I love this band - check out Morphogenesis from this album!
New album FINALLY out next year. It’ll be amazing, mark it down
If you guys like these concepts, look up the following 3 mind friggin blowing experiments (not exaggerating, read on for a very short summary).
1: Double Slit Experiment - Conclusion: Particles act as particles when observed/detected by people/a-mind but they act as energy/waves when they are *not* actively observed.
2: Delayed Choice Experiment - Conclusion: Time itself seems to not matter as these experiments rule out active observation while the light is underway. In other words, light particles/photons, change the path that they must have traveled, even when observed AFTER the light had already been traveling through path A or B or C etc.
3: Delayed Choice Quantum-Eraser - Conclusion: Particles can seemingly time-travel and they can even go through stuff as if it was not there. Also dependent on observation by a consciousness. Time itself is seemingly not linear (like a straight line from 1 direction to another direction, like from the past towards the future.)
In other words time is non-linear, whatever that means.
Compare it to playing a video game like GTA for example.
The totality of te game/sounds/models/missions/possibilities are all stored on the hard-drive (comparable to "time in its totality").
But when you fire up the game and play, at any given moment you are accessing only a fraction of all of that data/possibility that is stored on the hard disk (or SSD nowadays).
This universe seems to serve the mind/consciousness for some reason.
In other words, we humans don't see reality as it truly is and we do not experience space or time or energy as they are.
So could all of this be holographic and/or simulated? It's not that much of a stretch, even though scientists absolutely don't agree with that conclusion yet ("All things new, are fought against, even though their time has come").
Christian Älvestam is one of the best metal singers all time!!!!! Great react guys 🤟🔥❤️🇧🇷
Saw them live at metal for the masses in like 05, that’s all him, he has some good solo projects, also solution .45
Im so jealous
This album was my go to as a growing adult. It’s amazing and what they say and what’s its about, i follow this
React = SOLUTION .45 - Gravitational Lensing,same vocalist of Scar Symmetry
I think I suggested these guys/this album many moons ago, and while this was done for Deric, I am glad to see you guys get to them (and more in the MDM genre). The album the Holographic Universe is based on the book of the same name by Michael Talbot which is based on the premise that the universe operates much like a hologram. All pieces of a hologram contain all the information of the whole, so if you take a hologram of a picture and cut it in two, you will have two pieces of the same picture. Cut it into as many tiny pieces as you want and each piece will still contain the full picture. That's the youtube comment section version of the theory, where all consciousness is actually part of the whole. Obviously there's more to it than that....but it's an interesting theory nonetheless. As for the music...these guys are great, but Christian Alvestam is (IMO) the best metal vocalist out there. Hopefully someone with more clout than I will suggest his other band Solution 45.
From my favourite Scar Symmetry album. AWESOME! My favourite from this album is either Timewave Zero, Quantumleaper, or Prism and Gate.
Man I listened to this band growing up. Just happened upon them on Pandora. Very under appreciated. Quantumleaper is my favorite track off this album.
Let's get more of these, Holographic Universe? Kaleidoscope God? Prism and Gate? Reborn?
Damn finally listening to one of the best metal bands. Keep it up.
They do have a new album, its a concept album. It’s amazing, musically its the best I’ve listened to as a guitar player but also lyrically it tells a story. It goes into how ..... well if you listen to it its almost like a good SciFi book. It was well written
What a great surprise! Scar Symmetry is my all time favorite band. I even got the opportunity to be on their next album coming out sometime
Miss the vocalist of this band.
Check out Solution .45 then.
Per Nillsson is an amazing guitar player.
this is what i follow this channel for. those in depth conversations about the song. this is more then an average reaction channel this is a concept discussion channel fo sho
amazing video
Opeth - Godhead's Lament
I think a lot of times influences craft narratives unknowingly too. Vin, did you see the entire nearly 40 minute version of the Rayshard Brooks incident? If not I think there is a stretch in there that might at least get you to think again about the scenario. Rayshard was compliant and the situation was pretty much de-escalated UNTIL the police officer went for the cuffs. However, Rayshard was willing to be compliant without cuffs. Worst yet, they attempted to arrest him for being too drunk to drive...when he was parked and napping.
Thanks for doing this awesome reaction to an awesome band. Christian era of Scar Symmetry is likely my favorite metal of all time. His clean vocals are as good or better then any other vocalist and his growls, to me, sound god like. I hope you do some more of this amazing band.
Try the title track "Holographic Universe" - please! :D
25:45 similar themes brought up in Nortlane's album "Singularity"
Per is one of the most underrated guitarists
This dude knows his Tolkien, thats cool af and also the theory of a holographic universe! Vamos
This guy's vocals are INCREDIBLE! You know you're good when the band has to hire TWO vocalists to replace you when you're gone. Christian Älvestam is one of the most badass vocalists I've ever heard. He was a guest vocalist on Demon Hunter's "Just Breathe" which is my second favorite song by them. Props to whoever suggested this song and band!
Might I suggest my usual bands and songs. 😉
Band: Demon Hunter
Song: Cross to Bear
Demon Hunter is my favorite Metal band and I think you need to revisit them, especially since you loved the last heavy song you did. This song is one of their most aggressive and I think the premise is quite interesting. The vocalist said it's about how people use the expression "it's my cross to bear" and that he hates how people use it so lightly without fully understanding the weight of it.
Band: Exodus
Song: Sealed With a Fist
It's about domestic abuse and it's my personal favorite by them. It's got groove and the lyrics are cleverly written. It always puts a smile on my face because it has a happy ending of sorts.
Band: Lamb of God
Song: Embers
This one, based on my understanding, is about the loss of a newborn. I read an article that had a statement from the guitarist saying it was about his daughter. It's beautiful, tragic, and hopeful at the same time.
Band: Iced Earth
Song: Damien
It's about, well, the son of the Devil. Horror Show was an album about different horror icons and legends like Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman, and Damien. This song is particularly memorable because of its opening bass line, the choir that sings, the crushing riffs, and the "colorful" words against Christ used in Damien's perspective. It's an epic song and I'm morbidly curious to see the looks on your faces after hearing certain lines.
Please consider ANY of these! You won't regret it!
Oh you mean the two guys (Lars and Roberth) that Christian recommended? You mean the two guys that do what Christian had a difficult time reproducing in live performances?
Don't get me wrong I love Christian Älvestam as a vocalist and love everything he has done. But let's not act like his live performances were completely flawless. There's a reason why he stepped away from Scar Symmetry one reason being that he a had a hard time switching from clean vocals and death growls/screams during live performances cause of the transitions.
pretty sure they hired two guys to be able to do layered vocals live, not because it's so impossible to reproduce all these different types of vocals
Now that u have checked scar symmetry, u should also check out Sybreed, they are an awesome band!!! Please react to Sybreed - Technocracy.......
Christian is a fucking BEAST!
Glad you liked it. I've sent them live as an opening act for the Haunted and Dark Tranquility once with Christan, their original singer. He can wail that fast live and in key when sings. He had other bands (metal usually) he sings for and has his own side stuff (not metal, but you hear more of his voice).
I see Vinand Sori I click like!
Morphogenesis is the most beautiful perfect melodic death metal album of all time.
Love this band.
Melodic death metal is one of my favorite genres. Scar Symmetry is definitely one of the best. Disarmonia Mundi is another great one. BSC, Arch Enemy, Dethklok, and to an extent Gojira, are also nice. God, I love this stuff.
What is BSC ?
@@12012channel Blood Stain Child, a Japanese electronic melodeath band.
@@drakenn342 I see.
Glad I got to see them live before Christian Älvestam left... Pers was selling merch before the show, and I still have my Holographic Universe t-shirt!
Opeth - Face of melinda
21:18...
The technology nowadays... Deep fake, video editors, audio editors, etc. It is uncanny what can be done nowadays...
The new barometer will be a person's intuition/feeling on first impressions and then any modern forensics from a neutral party.
1997 movie "Wag the Dog"
Song is so beautiful! So good! Love this band!
I always insta like and subscribe to any channel that reacts to Scar Symmetry, (was already subbed yo you tough), cause Scar Symmetry is the most underrated melodic metal band ever and they need more people to hear them out. Very nice reaction!
Moonspell - Full Moon Madness
Moonspell - Night Eternal
I really enjoyed your conversation about the song, I’ve never seen anything like it
What I don't understand is why these two reviewers have 186 thousands subscribers when most of the well known underground bands don't even have 50K? These two talk about getting bands exposure? Now that is just twisted and wrong that they are more internet famous than the bands themselves (using someone else's work to do it when the true artists get buried by the so call fans). That makes no sense... I have the feeling most of these subscribers are not 100% fans of their favorite Metal bands. The Record labels are one thing for subscribers (that make all the money), but the bands themselves is another if you type "official" next to their band name on searches. For example, Scar Symmetry only has 22 thousand subscribers on youtube (sad) and Dark Tranquillity only has about 46 thousand. I just had a conversation about this twisted social media conundrum with a couple of musicians (from the Nuclear Blast label).
This band talks about different realities and change yourself on what you see. Ive loved this band for years, you got the quantum stuff. It’s kinda the lyrics in the music with the band
Pls do scar symmetry holographic universe reaction best melodic death metal song
No way... year later and you finally do it. That vocalist (christian älvestam) is pretty awesome. He does have different ranges of growls and cleans.
Absolutely love Scar Symmetry. Happy to see this reaction
Fantastic song by a fantastic band. Ghost Prototype I would've been better though.
I believe my patience will pay off. Amon Amarth - Into the Dark
This might surprise you, but the concept of the album is actually based on Michael Talbot's "Holographic Universe" created in the late 80s, which is, basically, another metaphysical/pseudoscientific concept that tries to marry actual quantum physics and your typical New Age stuff. Though, I must say, it never ever talks about pseudoscientific bullshit like paranormal powers or events in relation to said "holographic universe", which Talbot's "theory" was all about. Instead, the album uses it just as a basis and then goes on a tangent with it, rather using it as a metaphor for vague personal and social themes.
Scars of life:purity,shallow,mute, dead and gone.
Shinedown: atlas falls
10 years: the shift
Holy crap! The only other singer i can think of that has comparable range to this singer is Mike Patton from Faith No More.
Mikäel Akerfeldt used to, from Opeth
5:28 What is up with that? That is the best part of the song lyrically but they didn't like it. You are definitely not 100% fans of this band. Christian Alvestein is consider one of the best Metal singers of all time by all the true fans that gives any Hollywood Pop Star a run for their money any day. He is the best... This guy is the growler and clean singer together which is extremely difficult to pull off live (which is why he got kicked out of the band since he kept straining his voice and it sounded awkward later in shows, so they said unfortunately). This song is about starting all over again in life and trying to succeed "And then we found it all...Caged inside a dream... All-seeing eye sees afloat...Soon it will see no more..."
Of course all their albums are universe themed, but the clues are all over with phrases like: "Change how you look at all things and what you see will change, And ever shedding skin, Where everything must work as one and never break in two, Rise on Your Own, etc." Their songs are all very poetic to decipher, but all have meaning about oneself not something like quantum physics.
And what is up with that leftwing political nonsense (halfway through the video) that completely took the eye off the ball in a band/song review? You know half of us Metalheads are Conservatives, so I wouldn't be sharing bias political ideas because you're NOT going to make people like me ever change... After all, Hollywood (the Party of The Democrats) are the ones that have buried our music away from the media (because they control the media) and most people don't like Metal in 2023 because of them.
13;16 i agree with vin. im a big fan of einstein and physics. i believe in different deminsions too. you sence them. infp is me. im getting this cd. the singer is awsome!
Get Pitch Black Progress while you are at it.
This is a very Good band=) love this song. Heard it on reoeat for years But it is just as beautful as the first time i Discovered it=)
Granted different band but am hoping somehow Revocation can get reviewed
Pronounced "Dayus Ex Mockinna". Sorry for nitpicking, haha. Aaaand you said it right later in the video, my bad.
I always try to stay away form all media bias. I do this by not consuming any media, and I don't participate in any social media (aside from the random youtube comment once in a while).
There are lots of people like me, we keep our heads level, we see both sides as ridiculous.
For we will not conform, we're ghosts in the machine.
Great song choice btw, one of my favorite albums of all time.
This album is fucking amazing! Check out solution .45 first album as well!
Also Mind machine, dreaming 247, retaliator, the illusionist & chaos weaver
Please react to David Bowie - Time (Glass Spider Tour 1987)
Please listen to Acyl - Gibraltar or Mercurial. Hugs from Brazil.
Angelcorpse - Wolflust
If you liked Christian Älvestam"s vocals, try Solution .45 - Gravitational Lensing, you won't regret it.
VIN, someone else is also waiting on your guitar track ;)
We are in the Holographic Universe.
Confirmed 13:02
We like to think that we see the same things because we want it to be true. Speaking of a world that operates in the quantum. I kinda douht it at the same time as i can't dismiss the posibility. Just as quantum mechanics states that atoms can be at two places at once. Maybe it just so happen that they do. But our minds trying to make sense of it. In ways that can't really be thought of subjetivly. So our subcouncious just does it for us.
Other ways to describe it is illusions. A trick of the eye. Or wild imagination. But that's boring. Right? Feels better to say that the quantum really is real . Then alot more could be real as Well. Like multiple universes. Multiple realities. Perhaps multiple version of me. Maybe not that crazy to suggest that these so called realities or dimensions would/could interfere with ours making us not trusting our senses at all Times.
If you like this you should 100% listen to "An abstract illusion - Vakuum"
That came as a surprise. Nice pick whoever suggested this. Scar Symmetry is a great band. Got 2 new singers to replace Christian Alvestam, but still the albums remain great after him. I won't go into a Nightwish kind discussion here. I like all of their records.
Probably my favorite song by this band, and one that's severely overlooked. Most of the reactions to them are from the album after this, where they'd already replaced the singer and gotten kinda lame.
Definitely do Solution .45. Same singer, they're really good.
If you enjoy the singer check out Solution .45 very very underrated vocalist
Please can you react to hometown glory by Adele or her carpool karaoke?😊
Alice In Chains - Bleed The Freak
Great reaction, try Eternal tears of sorrow the river flows frozen
Maybe video combined with words is the most powerful.
When Jesus returns maybe he'll start a youtube channel
"Hey youtube its ya boy, The Jesus of Nazareth. I died for your sins, click that notification bell. and if you're new like and subscribe."
yo do creed - whats this life for youre gonna love it
Svavelvinter next
Do 'Canadian Idiot' by Weird Al. It has Sori's name in it.
but isnt it called in the IMAGE of god?? ;) and also how can Vin believe in in a holographic universe and believe so hard in god?? so you think god is something like a programmer or architect like in the matrix?
So cool to see someone to react to one of my all time fav bands.. All christians stuff is amazing.. I used to share this band with everyone i could in my younger years.. Those first 3 albums are pure gold..
The new vocalists ruined it for me.. I cant stand it.. Not just bc its not christian is gone.. They just arent good. Annoying and corny af sounding to me.. Per and the band still is amazing tho.. Listen to christian alvestams solo projects... Like self 2.0..
React to Angra - Carolina IV
What the absolute f
We vegans see it all the time, that people are just too afraid to change their minds, because then they will have to change their behavior. Although people can be afraid even when they don't have to act any differently 🤷🏼
addition: I just head Devin Townsend suggesting an explanation:
"The idea that we are so resistant to ideas that challenge out beliefs ... perhaps we have so much invested in those beliefs, because we are aware that this is a chaotic environment, that we do have no control over. that the one way that we can assume we have some sense of control - is to cling to our ideologies and beliefs with such ferocity, that if they're ever challenged, it means war"
I think I agree with that. People's beliefs are usually not just technical, but they give us confidence, some order in this confusing world. and if we are unsure of them anymore, we might feel the ground beneath us shaking.
Vegan schmegan....who cares what you eat
@@danielbeotich1664 you're not obligated to read my comments :P
You are not obligated to assume people have to adjust their diet to appease you....why insist somebody is afraid to change their mind just because they eat meat...some people love it...get over yourself
I lost interest in Scar Symmetry after Christian left. Their next album was just meh, and I stopped listening to them.
U need some Solution .45 then
You should reconsider! Everything after that was straight up amazing.
Great pick, now you should react to Holographic Universe off the same album =P
