Comments on: NEW SCAR SYMMETRY SONG LEAKS! DO THE TWO NEW VOCALISTS LIVE UP TO THE HYPE? http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/08/20/new-scar-symmetry-song-leaks-do-the-two-new-vocalists-live-up-to-the-hype/ IS FOR LOVERS Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:01:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Joey http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/08/20/new-scar-symmetry-song-leaks-do-the-two-new-vocalists-live-up-to-the-hype/#comment-319089 Joey Wed, 07 Oct 2009 06:29:07 +0000 http://www.metalsucks.net/?p=19558#comment-319089 Very very disappointing, the clean vocalist kills any interest I have in any more of scar symmetrys work just as matt heafy killed trivium and corey taylor killed slipknot Iowa was the last good album they made, and for ss, hu was their greatest work. The Clean singer- The way he sounds on "The Consciousness Eaters" during the piece where the guitar and drums stop, "Once again." completely NO feeling at all, just bland boredom with a hint of sighing depression. The feeling I received was the basis that during the recording of the album he was constantly staring at his watch asking if he was done yet, its like he's bored. Compared to Christian, he has no soul. Its not just tce, its also the Iconoclast as well, none of it feels right, not the guitar, not the growls, not the *shudders* clean vocals. Its like someone in a paper mache class who just smears a glop of glue on a desk and drops some shavings of paper into it and calls it a master piece, its random and it just doesn't blend well. I would love the new album if they would just put a vice grip on that clean singers balls because he's not reaching to the sky like christian did. He's boring and has completely killed what was a great band. This is something I have to give no stars out of five, this wasn't ready, not even in another two months. hands down, the clean vocalist needs to take lessons badly, or as i've suggested, having a vice applied to his manhood. This cant be scar symmetry, it just can't. The growls- It may just be me but at times I listen to it and I am reminded just so slightly of amon amarth and I begin to think i'm not storming through infinite possibilities of the unknown but rather, i'm trudging through a frozen wasteland for the gods. Not that this is a bad thing, this guy can seriously make me bang my head and thats great, the only peeve I have is the slight resemblance in sound, but then again, I love amon amarth :) Guitar/drum work- it just feels really rushed with the addition of these two new singers, im sorry i should say the new singer and that other guy who just blandly moans into his mic and calls himself the clean vocalist, not even his backup growls are good. Sounds like he has a crack in his throat and all the air is trying to escape rather quickly. I'm off topic! Now, their skill in playing the instruments has NOT decreased at all, however, it seems to me like and overall united feeling for the songs have. This affects how they come out, its not just the vocalist who have a say in what goes where with this riff or that riff or this vocal segment or that line of drums, everyone has to come together, my final thoughts on why this came out the way it did. They were all completely 100% Shitfaced. Very very disappointing, the clean vocalist kills any interest I have in any more of scar symmetrys work just as matt heafy killed trivium and corey taylor killed slipknot Iowa was the last good album they made, and for ss, hu was their greatest work.

I'd prefer a solid death growl or even a solid clean vocal throughout. Don’t really care for any of the vocalists…I listen to this band mainly for the guitar.

However, a new band has been found, just not quite as good. If this is more or less how the rest of the album will sound, then SS has pretty much died.

However, a new band has been found, just not quite as good.

It took less time to get into this song than back when they released 'Morphogenesis', the riffs and solos are pretty bad ass, I also like the clean vocals, a bit more subtle than Christian's. I think the new album will be an instant buy after all... I like it!

I was getting into this track until the chorus. Kind of a little on the vaggy side for me. The growls are respectable though. Kind of relateable to Sea of Treachery (in bipolar 'growl-vag-growl'). That seems to be the trend with bands nowadays. Never really listened to old S.S. I was getting into this track until the chorus. Kind of a little on the vaggy side for me.

Jury's out on the cleans; I think I like them, but I don't care for the vocal line on the chorus. I liked Alvestam alright, but his growl was just too raspy and indecipherable for my tastes.

In my opinion, if the upcoming album is half good as PBP and HU, it is going to be a masterpiece.

The harsh vocals are fine (the high pitch guttural work is welcomed), but the cleans have so many effects added to them that it's pathetic. They might as well have T-Pain do clean vocals.

Definitely not a fan of the new clean vocal. Way too many effects and it sounds almost cheesy. The screams, and growls especially sound almost dead on. Definitely not a fan of the new clean vocal.

Holographic Universe was good but a tad too "happy" if that makes sense. Although I don't like two singers in ANY band, I think this new song is more of what I liked from earlier Scar Symmetry.
