Also, I am just hearing “singer this”, “singer that” and “oooh, so nice text. I have absolutely no idea what it means, but it is good” or “wtf? so horrible text. I know a lot about quantum physics and stuff, and these guys suck ass”. WHERE IS THE METAL? WHERE IS THE “Wow, nice drums”, “awesome guitar riffs. Really catchy” or “man, this is amazingly balanced. No mistakes whatsoever” and stuff. Those of you who can listen to this band, and not find ONE song that is not going to be your favorite song for a month or a year, are simply not open for metal. This IS melodic death metal. Maybe even more than Soilwork (seriously, no offense. I love Soilwork).

I think melodeath is one of the most boring genres of metal, only a few bands are worth listen and one of them is SS.

Besides, this is their worst song…. just imagine that D=

Scar Symmetry is awesome, the solo’s are amazing a very heavily influenced jazz guitarist behind them and he’s amazing! They are a great band live too! Though I haven’t seen them I have only herd good about them as well as there stuff on youtube.

You should look into the history behind them, the main song writer (Jonas) has a few older bands he used to be in that are much more grungy death (centinex, carnal forge etc) and the lead guitarist and drummer are from Altered Aeons (which might be more up most metal heads area) and also check out singers new band Miseration which rebinds me of vital remains.

But to all you people bagging it out for not being pure metal your all idiots and need to get out of your shelter musical tastes and explore the world, why cut off some music because of its style?!

This band is about experimentation and fun, there is so much musical composition behind this music its amazing, so many blends of styles! It mixes everything from death metal to pop, and its done extremely well!

So stop bagging it out because you come across as those forum flamers that have no life outside a computer screen; since they are so small in the real world they try to come across stronger and bigger than they are.

To all you people, go kick the bullies that make you cry at school in the balls and take it like a man and leave the music appreciation to much more qualified people like myself!

I do have to give kudos to the line about the wet burp and shitting the titanic, gave me a good laugh for the day.

I think of Scar Symmetry as a progressive Opeth. *shrug* I’m sure people will try to rake me over the coals for it, but that’s what it makes me think of. The hard vocals aren’t the typical “Brie brie urr urr reee reee” bullshit, which is a nice switch from most of the popular “Can’t actually understand the lyrics but motherfuck does he sound like a cat stuck in a wood chipper!” (which never really made sense to me in the first place….wtf is the point of “lyrics” when it’s nothing more than a 4 minute stretch of someone having a really wet burp while trying to shit the Titantic?), and the clean vocals fit the overall theme of the albums.

also: te he he soilwork

Its a shame Christian left the band though, but I’m dying to check out some stuff for them with their new vocalists, if they had a problem with alternating vocals before, I dont think they’ll have it now.

This is far from their best song though.

I give it a huge “meh”.
