- Watch and learn as Per Nilsson opens up the mix project for the closing track from Scar Symmetry's new album The Singularity (Phase II - Xenotaph) - the title track itself, XENOTAPH! 👽

The song Xenotaph features the huge, fan-sourced THE ULTRATERRESTRIAL CHOIR! With the help of our friends at GEAR GODS, we provided our fans with a placeholder piece of music on top of which they could record themselves singing "Xenotaph, unbound" several times (some did 50 takes or more!!!). The band members themselves and friends and family of theirs also recorded hundreds and hundreds of tracks, and after stacking all these performances the result was a choir built from THOUSANDS of vocal tracks!

Thank you so much for your amazing work and the care and time you put into this Per. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you in Melbourne, Australia. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
I'm interested in those stacked vocals!
Please show us more! It's great to see your rationale and thoughts behind each small detail. Would love to see more tracks plucked out of other songs on the album.
The artist behind SS is wild
This video was a treat! just seeing all the organization and work that goes into layering that amount of tracks into the song. That is something i have a real hard time with with my mixes and like simpler but try to get a huge and wide sound. Great Video Per!
This is an amazing video and very insightful. I love Per's ending vocals, it gets me every time. And such amazing solos on the entire album. Such an amazing album, an instant classic. Been listening to it everyday on my walks since it's release.
Per you are a genius! this album is very well done, it has many layers, super immersive. I just loved it. I don't miss listening to it any day, it's the best melodic death metal album of this year. this idea of showing parts of the mix is very interesting, it's different and very curious. I'm already looking forward to hearing the third part of this fantastic trilogy.
Fucking hell. These 24 minutes went over way too fast. It is amazing to get an insight into the composition and production of my all-time favourite band. Thanks, Per! I hope we can get more of these in the future!
Ps: proud member of the ultraterrestrial choir, so I feel a little part of this amazing song as well.
19:26 Brilliant base, like another track inside 🙌, fresh sound, wider & power!!!
Damn I *_knew_* I heard the HM-2, thought I was going crazy!
Xenotaph is my favourite Scar Symmetry song ever - now I know why XD
This was really interesting. Would love to see more of this going into the mixing of other songs on the album.
Wow, what an incredible amount of work but the result is sublime. So sophisticated compared to other more mainstream metal bands!
This is awesome do more!
Thanks you very much the sharing, that's impressive. Super Great Album, hudge work. Congratulation
This was massive!
Brilliant mix & composition, lots of creative ideas, and being part of the fan-choir was insane. Still can't believe, each person recorded over 16 tracks on average for this song.
Great insight, would love to see this on ”Altergeist” & ”Reichsfall”, as well!
And now we know why the album took so bloody long!! Wonderful work Per, thanks so much for sharing what you do behind the scenes. And yes please to more videos along these lines, especially the 5 part harmony stuff!
Loved this! Also: seven rhythm guitars?? That’s insane, Jeremy!
Please do this for other tracks as well. Would love to see one of chrononautilus!
Yes, please - another one of these would be phenomenal Per! I love seeing the anatomy of the tracks and getting to appreciate even more the nuances that my ears aren’t trained well enough to hear in the standard track.
Per is Alien, ❤
This absolutely blows my mind. So much work behind the whole album and it fucking shows! It's so incredible.
I wanted to hear the rhythm guitar below Benjamin's solo so much though xD it's so awesome. I always go DUH DUH, DUH DUH, tutututuDUH DUH, DUH DUH (translation: the main riff of the song) while listening to it.
Pure genius!!! Fucking amazing!
HELL YES (to more) [Please!]
Been listening to this album every day since release. Awesome to see the inner works of the mastermind behind it all. This is the level of perfection we get when the true metal god Per gets 9 years to produce. Hope you make more videos like this.
I almost typed command + S to save the project while watching this LOL
Very insightful showcase of how you engineer these incredible tracks. Lot of wisdom to learn here, would love to see more.
Yes do more please. This was incredible. this album is soooo good.
This is super interesting and insightful, esepcially when you're listening more and more you tend to pick up new subtle details that you missed before, but especially when you get to hear some things isolated and realise how big the picture is. I always liked that about music that has many things going on in the mix and layered well. I hope you'll cover some more songs in this way, my favourite being Hyperborean Plains! Is there any possibility you would release instrumental versions of songs at any point? Sjukt bra musik som alltid 🤘👽
A one of a kind masterpiece Per, I have no words...my favorite song from now on ❤🤘🏻👽🎸
This is INSANE thank you very much for the insights !
Yes we need more of this!!
Amazing!,thank you Per for sharing❤
Thank you SO much for doing this Per!!! Would love to see more!!! Your outro vocals are incredible!
Definetly do more of these!
I would love so much more of these. I have been trying to teach myself production techniques, and even just your little tip about putting a subtle phaser on the left and right channels for leads you mentioned in the Ola video is something I've been experimenting with. This video will give me all sorts of new things to experiment with. I would love to know like how the hell you eq so many tracks together without getting frequencies colliding with each other, for example. Your levels and eqs are all just 😘👌
This song is the best i have heard in years!! Perfection on a perfect song, wow, Takk Per
Of course you could do more of these! I'm also curious how you managed volumes, panning and equalization on these, so maybe you could give some insight into that when discussing another song
You guys are my favourite band so far now. Didn't know you are the guitarist who invented this awesome sound. I've been always a fan of your solos. Specially the intro solo from The Spiral Timeshift.
thanks for the insight!!! Id love to see more of that!
This is incredible work, I'm obsessing over this record and getting to have a glimpse at its inner workings is priceless
Amazing work! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your hard work!
Just know, that many of us pay attention to the smallest details and are blown away how well produced this album is.
The long wait was totally worth it! Such an amazing album, in so many ways.
Super awesome to look behind the curtain, it always amazes me how much goes on to make the final presentation.
Yes, I would absolutely love to see/hear more about the processes that went behind the mixing of this truly remarkable album. To me, Overworld and Xenotaph stick out the most in the album because of their heavy melodic and harmonizing emphasis. Those two tracks get stuck in my head the most. I guess I'd particularly want you to cover Overworld next, but literally covering any song would be fantastic.
Thank you so much for your work, Per!
Kul att se, grymt jobbat, mera sånt här!!😀👍🙏
Fascinating, i'd love to see more
Eventhough I'm not very familiar with these mixing things, I enjoyed this a lot and love LOVE Xenotaph so much. Congrats with this amazing album man!!
Thanks for that great insight!
Thank you Per!!! this was pure Gold ! ;)
Thanks for sharing this Per. Its easy to pigeonhole you as a guitar legend, but you have so much more to offer. I'm learning how to mix metal so I would love more stuff like this 👌
Thank you Per, I really enjoyed this and would love to see and hear more! Could you make one for every track? 😀
So frigging awesome Per! Very interesting since I'm doing an album ATM with my band. There's a lot going on :D Please do more of these!
And here I thought software development was complicated! This kind of process is super fascinating to see.
This was awesome Per! please do more!!!!
This was a great deep dive! Love it!
just amazing that you do the mixing too! Sounds killer
Xenotaph we brought to you the quintessential light (unbound) the gift divine of being
Wow, awesome work on this song!
I'm just curious: How much time did you spend "creating" this track?? It looks very time consuming :D
Are you going to make more of these?
Detta var magiskt kul att få se! Mer av detta Per! 😊❤
Hey guys! Eventim just wrote me to tell me your show in Nürnberg was cancelled☹️ i hope you all are right and the tour continues with tons of succes for you! I love the new album💪
Yes unfortunately we had to cancel the German shows in September. We still have our festival appearance next weekend in Heimburg though! And we will for sure be back in Germany soon!
Fan vad intressant! Riktigt bra jobbat med mixen!
19:25 gives me Klayton Albert vibes
Thought exactly the same.
I'd love to see how you dial in plugins if you haven't done that already.
Michel VILLARES feat , are in track?
Per, the last solo, who is it? Is that you or someone familiar.. It's been a couple of months since the album dropped but no one even knows that there's a third vocalist on the track. Who is it?
Yes I do sing a few lead parts on the album, just as I did on Neohumanity, as well as most of the harmony vocals. Anytime it obviously isn't Lars singing a melody it is me 😊 /Per
