Avesta, Sweden (2004 – present)
Scar Symmetry is a melodic death metal band from Avesta, Sweden formed in 2004. In addition to the typical melodic death metal aesthetics (numerous melodies and harmonies in the guitars, growling vocals, etc.), they incorporate synthesised sounds into their music. Their lyrics are themed towards astronomy, philosophy, mysticism and inner struggles.
The band’s third album “Holographic Universe” was released on June 20, 2008. Following the release, Scar Symmetry did not embark on tours and released a statement 11 September 2008, announcing that they had parted ways with vocalist Christian Älvestam, due to touring conflicts and creative differences. On 6 October, they announced the replacements for Christian Älvestam: they will continue with two singers, Roberth Karlsson (growls) and Lars Palmqvist (clean vocals).
Members and other projects:
* Roberth Karlsson - Lead Vocals (growls) (Facebreaker, Aktiv Dödshjälp and Tormented)
* Lars Palmqvist - Lead Vocals (clean vocals) (Last Temptation)
* Henrik Ohlsson - Drums (Altered Aeon, Mutant (Swe), Theory In Practice, ex-Diabolical (Swe), ex-Thrawn)
* Jonas Kjellgren - Guitars (Pexilated, Centinex, World Below, ex-Carnal Forge, ex-Dellamorte, ex-Sickenside, guest for Incapacity)
* Per Nilsson - Guitars, backing vocals (Kaipa, Altered Aeon, ex-World Below, ex-Thrawn)
* Kenneth Seil - Bass (Soul Royale)

Why do I feel like the only one actually liking the last two albums more then the rest? I mean, somehow the new vocalists appeal to me more. SID is the worst of them by a large margin, I only like 2012. PBP had some nice songs, namingly the Bonus tracks, they had to pursue that style a little more. HU I admit was amazingly addictive, but the cleans sometimes felt a little off and fake... The music itself was set up pretty well, my favorites being Trapezoid, Holographic Universe (Masterpiece song), Morphogenesis and Ghost Prototype I. Then you got DMD, I find this one possibly the best of all as of now speaking, blasters like The Iconoclast, The Consciousness Eaters, A Parenthesis in Eternity and Scupter Void sound amazing. Yet UI has the most songs I like, all except Alpha and Omega are ones I could listen all day. Don't get me, I kinda like every song they have provided so far, but the last two albums just seemed better as a whole, where the others has a few heroic ones.

Guys, Christian Älvestam probably isn't ever coming back. We can hope, but it's probably never gonna happen and we have to accept that.
