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. 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)

I think the band stated on their MySpace that Lars cleans are "more metal than Christian's". Even if that's true, I really think Christian's cleans just complemented the pop-ish catchiness of their choruses.

imo Dark Matter Dimensions is better than expected, I think they found great singers to replace Christian. Good new Album, they kept nearly their niveau!

Scar Symmetry is dead after Christian left the band, although Roberth belongs to the Top 10 Death Metal vocalists in my opinion. RIP Scar Symmetry 2004-2008 :'(

I'm surprised they found a clean vocalist who sounds very much like Christian's. If I didn't know they got new vocalists, I wouldn't even notice. And album is top notch.

Yeah, let's get br00tal and we'll get respect, right? Their "reputation" is just fine right now, and why would you even care what people think of them, if their music is good? If I was a real douche, I'd call you a poser. =P

They should start doing more brutal music tough if they don't want a teenage rockband reputation. I don't want people to think of them like for example Bullet For My Valentine. Okay that was a stupid example because i hate BFMV but you get the idea

Yeah I also agree that the growls are as good as before. But even tough I respect the new clean singer he's definetly not as good as Christian doing it

Yeah I do agree about the growling parts being up to Christian's, but the cleans : ////

The growling on the new release is just as good as Christian's, but the singing definitely isn't as good, but still very listenable.

I think they've retained their sound -- definitely more so than most bands when they switch vocalists. (2)
