Avesta, Sweden (2004 – present)
Scar Symmetry is a modern melodic death metal band from Avesta, Sweden formed in 2004. In addition to typical melodic death metal aesthetics (numerous melodies and harmonies in the guitars, growling vocals, etc.), they incorporate symphonic sounds into their music. Therefore their style is often described as “New Melodic Death”. Their lyrics are themed towards mysticism, philosophy, and inner struggles. They had been touring through North America with Dark Tranquillity, The Haunted and Into Eternity, and took part in a US/Canada tour with Katatonia, Insomnium, and Swallow the Sun in 2007.
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 vocalist Christian Älvestam, due to touring conflicts and creative differences. On 6 October, they announced the replacements for Christian Alvestam: they will continue with two singers, Roberth Karlsson (growls) and Lars Palmqvist (clean vocals).
Members and other projects:
* Roberth Karlsson - Lead Vocals (growls)
* Lars Palmqvist - Lead Vocals (clean vocals)
* 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)
* Kenneth Seil - Bass.
* Per Nilsson - Guitars, backing vocals (Kaipa, Altered Aeon, ex-World Below, ex-Thrawn)

Scar symmetry's Alvestam era was soooooo much better than todays SS. The new growls vocalist is about level pegging with Christian on ability, but the new clean vocals guy is rubbish. the new album is too light and not heavy enough compared to past releases. Plus it has non of the catchy elements in songs like before.

Älvestam is like a god-like singer. His growls have got lot better since SS. New Miseration album shows that. It may not be the MOST UNIQUE and deepest shit around, but does the job well.

"New growler is quite awesome, new clean singer is great but definitely no Christian." [2] I second this. Listening to "Prism and Gate" makes me realize how good Christian is at singing... One of the best singers I've ever heard, hands down. Lars is good, but does not even come close to Christian.

New album is surprisingly good, better than I was expecting. Was a bit worried about the new vocalists, but it turned out pretty good. New growler is quite awesome, new clean singer is great but definitely no Christian.

Scar Symmetry deserve a lot of credit for the new record. I'm usually pretty disappointed by lineup changes, especially when it's the vocalist, and Christian is one of my favourite singers ever. And yet they've made a fucking awesome album even without him.

Is it possible that the screaming parts people claim Per does it actually... Lars? On the forums, in the official post announcing the new vocalists, they mentioned how they were really surprised to find out that Lars was not only a good singer, but a "kickass screamer as well". Or something like that. Thoughts?

After several listens, I'd put DMD on PBP level. And the new singers are not that different from Christian, after all!

New clean singer doesn`t come even close to Älvestäm`s voice, but growler is great. I wouldn`t say better than Christian, but I like his growls more.

I haven't listened to the new album as of yet but the vocals remind me of Demon Hunter...but actually not as good. I don't like either vocalist.
