And they sound even better, especially since they can overlap vocals, something that they can do live as well, just Alvestam could have never. Deal with it.
+Armyboy89 Exactly! The new growls are very good imho, but the cleans.... especially live not as good. But they´ll improve. Btw., Robert, you can´t tell anybody what to do lol ;). Accept other opinions
These guys are the same geniuses of their style as Amon Amarth. I'll be 35 in March, and I've been listening to them for really more than 15 years.When I listen to them, I understand that time has not just stopped, but it never existed. I feel like I did 15 or more years ago.
Exactly bruh even Einstein knew he was just a stupid human blessed w an education knowledge to do mathematics and amazing women in his life that motivated him Time exists on a continuum There's even theories in mathematics string theory that parallel dimensions might exist We dont actually know for sure at the end of the day we're just stupid humans who know love created us 2+2=4 mathematics shows absolute truth and our history is real. There's no telling with science getting this advanced how much potential we have as humanity womanity mankind in the far future The main thing we gotta avoid? War. Technology is too great for war amen
I feel like the production quality of their music videos went downhill as the went on, the older Scar Symmetry videos feel like actual professionally produced music videos, while their newer ones look like something I could have made. I'm not so sure what happened.
To this day nobody had ever cover the whole guitar solo from this song. Man. I was so spoiled learning any solo from youtube and when there's none it kinda blows my mind.
Incapacity, Solar Dawn, Scar Symmetry, Torchbearer, Quest of Aidance, guest for Zonaria, Miseration, Syconaut, Angel Blake, Carnalized, Solution .45, The Few Against Many, Jarawynja, Nuclear Blast Allstars....Christian Alvestam has been in a few and IS in a few for sure. with a voice like that and all round talent like he has he can pretty much go up to any band and just say "Kick him out. I want in" or "You and you, quit. We're starting a new band." The dude makes good music!
that ending harmony sent chills down my spine. SS has never failed when it comes to emulating pure emotion and talent in their music. fuck rap and all that other bull shit music. this is REAL music. \m/
imo SS turned into a new level. Listen to these vocal harmonies never available live with only one singer. Moreover growls are deeper than ever and the new clean vocalist, he is technically unbeatable. I hear heaven and hell in his voice. It's like some sacral experiance to listen to Scar Symmetry now.
I love this band and this one of the best songs from the latest album. I am sad that Christian has left the band, but the new singers work really well and I hope they carry on what they started with DMDS. Thumbs up all round.
@cothy86 If you look at Symmetric in Design and Holographic Universe there is a massive difference in vocal range. Give them time to grow. I like the new direction and adding of more elements into their music, I don't think Christian could pull it off. Christian is a great singer, but he wanted to head in a different direction and lets not forget he couldn't quite pull it off live and wanted to just be a studio band. The new dynamic works great. You can always listen to studio band Solution .45.
i also think that christian was a very good singer, but those two give it all a little bit new fresh power. The Voices of those guys are incredible, harmonizing perfect.
one of my favorite bands. the growler is so baddass he refuses to move and just headbangs in place. btw is it just me or does that priest look like a michael jackson with a beard?
I dont know what it is about Sweden but apparently it is home to pretty much all my favorite metal bands, In Flames, Soilwork, Scar Symmetry, Amon Amarth, the only one not there is Children of Bodom but hey they are just next-door!
@wackamastaz Christian was actually just a studio creation, just layers upon layers of vocals. OBVIOUSLY they purposefully chose two vocalists so that the band's sound didn't change too drastically, and they could make for a better live performance.
@hellhammermsa Me too, Scar Symmetry will always be my favorite band of all time. Their guitars are absolutely amazing and Henrik (the drummer and lyrics writer) is a freaking genius. Solution .45 is starting to grow on me though.
I know you all miss the old singer, Christian Älvestam. But you have to admit that their music is still hella good. They didnt really change the style that they used to have with Christian. So just stop hating and just sit back and listen to some awesome music.
for those of you that are wondering, an iconoclast is a person that destroys religious symbols. I think the clean vocalist fits the band more than the screamer. the screamer doesn't move at all/have any stage presence. but good effort, they're still new to the band so ill see what they do next!
@WorldMechanical I didn't say I hated the new ss, I just said I prefer their old style. Their new songs are pretty good too, it's just a different style. My favorites are the iconoclast and A parenthesis in Eternity :)
I admit i was hit pretty hard with Christian's change over, i never hated it but it took me some time to get used to, this song still holds power to remind me of better times and ill always be thankful regardless of who's in the group. Keep making awesome music guys
@WorldMechanical my point is as i said in previous comment, not all are willing to tour that's all, i mean my band Sorrow and suffering, we have a album out since december last year and we haven't toured yet. Mostly because some of us still have school to attend to and me for instance, i have my daughter to look after most of the time
This is the best video this far with the new singers, although, it's still not THE music video. The greatest thing I miss is the underlying concept. Every song and album from Scar Symmetry has it, "The Illusionist" and the "Morphogenesis" videos had it too, but in the ones from the new album, including this - I see none in them! A little girl walking away from home, meeting an obscure-looking priest guy?I'd say it has a deeper meaning if we could see what happens after they meet, but we don't.
This lineup kicks. I think they sound way heavier and better with these guys. The first singer, Christian, sounded like The Cookie Monster when he tried to growl. I still dig those cds also, just like this the most.
@ellobohombre This album was rushed due to the fact that they wanted to get their new singers doing new material. They made it in one year (compared to other bands which usually takes 2 to 4 years).
I bet if this was a new band...formed not from scar symmetry fragments....but new lineup altogether people would be groping on this album- "tis is f*cking guud"..... people just waste their time comparing to their old albums....personally it's an excellent album, everything I look for in melo-death these guys got it
I agree with many posters below. The vocals are something new though, since I've been listening to these guys since their first album. I don't think it's a case of power in their voices, since they obviously have that. I think it's the presence. They just don't command the same presence that Christian did. Still, Dark Matter Dimensions was an awesome album, and I'm looking forward to see where it takes these guys.
@Mriao231 NonHuman Era off this album is one of Scar Symmetry's heaviest tracks they've done. Christian had very little to do with the song composing process except for the vocal lines and growling rhythms so I don't get how you see Christian being the only one keeping it metal? I think the new singers are great and it comes across well on Unseen Empire. Scar Symmetry has always been about the prog/melodic element and if you're complaining about it you're listening to them for the wrong reasons.
@BartlesvilleGuy28 The meaning behind cannibal corpse is savage butchery lol. They did it on purpose as a giant middle finger to society and were actually targeted specifically by the government when they came out
And hey... you gotta give the director the creddit for totaly ripping of HIM - The Funeral of Hearts. AND you gotta give him creddit for making a bad as metal band look fake and gay by playing on the freaking snow... AND THE BEST PART, RUNNING! This song deserved soo much more.
@MrJuandiego1988 His comment is what actual Scar Symmetry fans feel like myself. Old and new scar rock and so does Solution .45 we love all the music I see that far above minority epecially seeing other Scar fans still rocking out to these songs, videos and concerts I've been to with them =)
I wasn't a huge fan of that album although I listen to it once in a while. My problem with the other two albums, holographic and the one before that one, is that the first half is great, while the second half is not so great. When I first heard Dark Matter Dimensions I was shocked how awesome it was. I was so happy that this band really fleshed out and had a solid album.
@GoreChyld Christian didn't exactly "join" Scar Symmetry, he made it along with a couple other members. Also, Sonic Syndicate is an example of a Good Two singer band.
Good song but you can actually feel that without Christian it's not the same Scar Symmetry as it used to be. Too bad he left. But he remains the best vocalist of the metal world!
'K guys, here's what we're gonna do. During the verses we're gonna do our Cannibal Corpse thing, then during the Chorus we're gonna do our 3 Days Grace thing. Everyone got it?
Immortal were more innovative back in the 90s when they did their ridiculous videos. Yeah, I miss old Scar Symmetry. Now, the growling vocalist reminds me of some kind of rhino :)
Christian is gone but they got pretty good replacements. Plus they brought their A game to this album. I think this album is their best and their most creative. Well done Scar Symmetry.
@ShoryukenCrowbar ive heard from some people that the dude who does the clean vocals has gotten better since he started so i guess they're moviong in the right direction
I do understand your opinion guys, you wanted to keep the good old Scar Symmetry along with christian, but take another step forward and enjoy the experience of discovering the new singer with his awesome voice! Both are really good, rock on Scar Symmetry, The band of god!
@GrandMasterScotty I agreed, christians good to, but be honest he used to much auto tuning, Lars is actually using his vocals great and sings, making him have alot better talent.
@neverfell they are both in Scar Symmetry, neither of them are guest singers. They are Christian's replacements, Lars and Roberth. And both are fucking awesome
@Soilworker091 Im going to wait for the next CD until I pass judgment. I mean common, Dark Matter Dimension is pretty amazing considering Holographic Universe came out less than a year before that. Usually it takes 2 to 3 years before a band release new albums.
my opinion is..this song really goes with Lars' vocals ^^ pleased to say that.. the other two vids fit the growler more. They just have to work on synching with each other more it'll be great and a new scar symmetry but hehe (hasn't really listened to all of the new albium)
heres what i think dark matter dimensions was an awesome album even though christian left.He doin Solution 45 which is excellent and one hell of an album and i have to say better.dark matter dimensions was an up to par album and music and sound is still there.Their videos are cheesy but still captures the essence of the band.for me this album was great and still sounded like scar symmetry.thats what were going to get.
How do they go through the entire guitar solo without showing the guy playing it even ONCE?! Terrible director.
There was a problem with Dean guitars I guess
I guest I'm 10 years late to the party. What a band!!
Same here! Better late than never, eh.
same here
Welcome :) Some epic stuff to be found in both vocal eras. Holographic Universe is still an incredible masterpiece of an album
Never too late
@@mikkohietanoro8861 never!
i love the idea that they had to get 2 vocalists to replace Christian XD
And they sound even better, especially since they can overlap vocals, something that they can do live as well, just Alvestam could have never. Deal with it.
+Robert Stan Christians cleans are so much better
+Armyboy89
Exactly! The new growls are very good imho, but the cleans.... especially live not as good. But they´ll improve.
Btw., Robert, you can´t tell anybody what to do lol ;). Accept other opinions
omg he was amazing.
Wow, I did not think anyone would think this lmao. He can do both vocal styles way better.
Their faces they pull express only one thing - ''Oh shit, we will never be as awesome as Christian Alvestam''
This group has some of the best musicians out there!!
The drummer looks so happy to be there
I love how the intro is like Power metal and then it goes to beast Death Metal xD!
These guys are the same geniuses of their style as Amon Amarth. I'll be 35 in March, and I've been listening to them for really more than 15 years.When I listen to them, I understand that time has not just stopped, but it never existed. I feel like I did 15 or more years ago.
Exactly bruh even Einstein knew he was just a stupid human blessed w an education knowledge to do mathematics and amazing women in his life that motivated him
Time exists on a continuum
There's even theories in mathematics string theory that parallel dimensions might exist
We dont actually know for sure at the end of the day we're just stupid humans who know love created us 2+2=4 mathematics shows absolute truth and our history is real.
There's no telling with science getting this advanced how much potential we have as humanity womanity mankind in the far future
The main thing we gotta avoid? War. Technology is too great for war amen
I feel like the production quality of their music videos went downhill as the went on, the older Scar Symmetry videos feel like actual professionally produced music videos, while their newer ones look like something I could have made. I'm not so sure what happened.
***** Yea I really want them to make another one soon. I'm really excited for their next album too
To this day nobody had ever cover the whole guitar solo from this song. Man. I was so spoiled learning any solo from youtube and when there's none it kinda blows my mind.
1:52
Call me again
Thighs will be split
Eye of the tiger
Balls will end
Tied to a pole
Let people fart women
Breaking the winds
you ruined the song for me... lol
BWAHAHAHAHA! I definitely heard "eye of the tiger" every time, thats for sure!
Incapacity, Solar Dawn, Scar Symmetry, Torchbearer, Quest of Aidance, guest for Zonaria, Miseration, Syconaut, Angel Blake, Carnalized, Solution .45, The Few Against Many, Jarawynja, Nuclear Blast Allstars....Christian Alvestam has been in a few and IS in a few for sure. with a voice like that and all round talent like he has he can pretty much go up to any band and just say "Kick him out. I want in" or "You and you, quit. We're starting a new band." The dude makes good music!
Music that heals us ,real artists like Scar Symmetry are great people and great musicians
Honestly, I love SS with both Christian and the new singer. This song's chorus is just beautifully written.
that ending harmony sent chills down my spine. SS has never failed when it comes to emulating pure emotion and talent in their music. fuck rap and all that other bull shit music. this is REAL music. \m/
I like the idea of 2 singers.
i dont like the idea of milhouse having 2 spaghetti dinners
The chorus of this song (1:34) is one horn section away from being "Ska Symmetry"
I need a ska cover band of.scar symmetry now
imo SS turned into a new level. Listen to these vocal harmonies never available live with only one singer. Moreover growls are deeper than ever and the new clean vocalist, he is technically unbeatable. I hear heaven and hell in his voice. It's like some sacral experiance to listen to Scar Symmetry now.

it´s band is fabulous!!!!
Impresive!!!!
lml,
Wah i love the chorus!

even though Christian is one of my favorite vocalists... This is one of my favorite songs from Scar Symmetry :D
I like this band, but their videos are fucking comedy :D
I like the paired vocalist setup. Cool concept.
one of my favorite bands. the growler is so baddass he refuses to move and just headbangs in place. btw is it just me or does that priest look like a michael jackson with a beard?
I dont know what it is about Sweden but apparently it is home to pretty much all my favorite metal bands, In Flames, Soilwork, Scar Symmetry, Amon Amarth, the only one not there is Children of Bodom but hey they are just next-door!
@wackamastaz Christian was actually just a studio creation, just layers upon layers of vocals. OBVIOUSLY they purposefully chose two vocalists so that the band's sound didn't change too drastically, and they could make for a better live performance.
rock doesn't typically have kick ass solos like this band partakes in. Extremely Metal.
This chorus, every time, chills
Edge's shirt in 2020 made me love the word "ICONOCLAST"
@LordAbrxias SM57's are great for vocals. They were designed for multiple vocals.
@hellhammermsa Me too, Scar Symmetry will always be my favorite band of all time. Their guitars are absolutely amazing and Henrik (the drummer and lyrics writer) is a freaking genius. Solution .45 is starting to grow on me though.
I know you all miss the old singer, Christian Älvestam. But you have to admit that their music is still hella good. They didnt really change the style that they used to have with Christian. So just stop hating and just sit back and listen to some awesome music.

Keep making awesome music guys
Muito bom VALEU!!!!
Metal is not just defined by the style of the vocals. Have you listened to the guitar and drums in this song? Very metal.
I like the mix of growls and singing, it's very complimentary.
even though Christian's gone, still, my favourite band. (:
I don't wtf you guys are talking about, this song is great!!
@UnrealGeeMan I totally agree with you. Peter Tägtgren friggin' owns this song with his screams and growls.
great song, is a little on the pop side of things but still not too bad to mix things up. very refreshing.
@WorldMechanical my point is as i said in previous comment, not all are willing to tour that's all, i mean my band Sorrow and suffering, we have a album out since december last year and we haven't toured yet. Mostly because some of us still have school to attend to and me for instance, i have my daughter to look after most of the time
4:27 i am the tie the icon o'class eye of the tiger lost the end
im really liking the new style of screaming and melodic singing it is really badass like solution .45
This is the best video this far with the new singers, although, it's still not THE music video.

Every song and album from Scar Symmetry has it, "The Illusionist" and the "Morphogenesis" videos had it too, but in the ones from the new album, including this - I see none in them!

This lineup kicks. I think they sound way heavier and better with these guys. The first singer, Christian, sounded like The Cookie Monster when he tried to growl. I still dig those cds also, just like this the most.
@VorpalBob Interesting, because I saw them opening for Epica, and they did a great show that the crowd was seriously into.
@ellobohombre This album was rushed due to the fact that they wanted to get their new singers doing new material. They made it in one year (compared to other bands which usually takes 2 to 4 years).

@WorldMechanical
Amen!
They are impressive!!!! But still I can not get used to the new Scar Symmetry vocalists. Yet they are phenomenal.
@Mriao231 NonHuman Era off this album is one of Scar Symmetry's heaviest tracks they've done. Christian had very little to do with the song composing process except for the vocal lines and growling rhythms so I don't get how you see Christian being the only one keeping it metal?

Scar Symmetry has always been about the prog/melodic element and if you're complaining about it you're listening to them for the wrong reasons.
Nightwish and scar symmetry are the best metal bands. But hardly anyone has heard of them
@WorldMechanical
Hahaha, will do!...;-)
Cheers!
Idda stayed longer but neck and left side 😢
That pastor.... Was right.... All I gotta say ❤
@CodyGOfficial as any good microphone enthusiast should! Blue creates magnificent mics for the money, and Neumann is just god amongst microphones.
Have always been a fan of these guys since day one. But will agree the harmony kicks ass!
they should do the vidoe of Sculptor void.... just awesome
@BartlesvilleGuy28 The meaning behind cannibal corpse is savage butchery lol. They did it on purpose as a giant middle finger to society and were actually targeted specifically by the government when they came out
still better video than noumenon and ascension
And hey... you gotta give the director the creddit for totaly ripping of HIM - The Funeral of Hearts. AND you gotta give him creddit for making a bad as metal band look fake and gay by playing on the freaking snow... AND THE BEST PART, RUNNING! This song deserved soo much more.
That intro though! The feels man
when he sings he osunds abit like a young Ozzy. i like it ! :P
*mind blown*
...
*replay*
The part from 3:00 to 3:16 sounds very Meshuggah-esque - not that this is a bad thing, of course. Great song.
Per Nilson is just... Amazingly good.
Dark Matter Dimensions = Best Scar Symmetry Album Ever

i heard them in a video concert with hypocrisy since that day i've couldn't stops of hear them amazong band¡¡
@ThreatSignalNZ Holographic Universe was and still is the peak of Melodic Death Metal.
That's what's hip in melodic death metal nowadays
Good song but you can actually feel that without Christian it's not the same Scar Symmetry as it used to be. Too bad he left. But he remains the best vocalist of the metal world!

i prefer 1 vocalist and keyboard player but there doing there job well so props to them

@ShoryukenCrowbar ive heard from some people that the dude who does the clean vocals has gotten better since he started so i guess they're moviong in the right direction
@LordAbrxias I'm partial to Neumann & Blueberry Vocal condenser mics
Run in the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do understand your opinion guys, you wanted to keep the good old Scar Symmetry along with christian, but take another step forward and enjoy the experience of discovering the new singer with his awesome voice!
Both are really good, rock on Scar Symmetry, The band of god!
@GrandMasterScotty I agreed, christians good to, but be honest he used to much auto tuning, Lars is actually using his vocals great and sings, making him have alot better talent.
This song pumps me the fuck up!
If it took two singer to replace one...you know your a bad ass vocalist!
@neverfell
they are both in Scar Symmetry, neither of them are guest singers. They are Christian's replacements, Lars and Roberth. And both are fucking awesome
Yeah. I do love this song.

@CrestfallenJester Thats a bold statement. Not my favorite by a long shot. But good? YES. Non human era is one of my fav's
my opinion is..this song really goes with Lars' vocals ^^ pleased to say that.. the other two vids fit the growler more. They just have to work on synching with each other more it'll be great and a new scar symmetry but hehe (hasn't really listened to all of the new albium)

omfg at first i think SS wants to be now a power metal band :x
who can play guitar when your hands are that cold
pure awsome!
