Been a fan of Per for a while adore his playing it's so clean, refreshing, colourful and precise. His solos are just something else. Only just checked Scar out, fantastic stuff. Riffs, melodies are top notch. What a voice, perfect ethereal cleans n guttural powerful growls. What a band man, should be a hell of a lot bigger than they are!

[@joeybones222]

One of the best Melodeath bands of all time. This song has aged like a fine wine.

[@kolasis4994]

I have known about this band for so long and never checked them out until today. I hate myself for waiting so long, but I will be playing this song on repeat for weeks to come to make up for the loss. What a fucking hot ass chorus.

[@jm6841]

It really has. No other song has this sound

[@brave_heart777]

These guys are the same geniuses of their style as Amon Amarth. I'll be 35 in March, and I've been listening to them for really more than 15 years.When I listen to them, I understand that time has not just stopped, but it never existed. I feel like I did 15 or more years ago.

Check out the Unmoored record from 2003 called Indefinite Soul Extension if you haven't already. Its soooo good.

[@fallingacrossthestairs3136]

He's also spectacular in Solution .45 . Check out the song "Gravitational Lensing" to start with. You won't be disappointed, promise! 🤘🤘

[@manny6318]

Scar Symmetry has never been the same since Christian left. He played such an integral variable and key fundamental to the overall sound of this band.

[@theycallmeklee]

The fact that they need two guys to do what Christian could do easily just shows how much he contributed and how badass he is.

[@AnaerobicFermentation]

They're a million times better now. This shit just sounds like generic Soilwork rip off when soilwork went to shit.

[@ro--M]

@@AnaerobicFermentation Soilwork and Scar Symmetry have very little in common when it comes to songwriting, guitars, arrangements etc. The things they have in common are that they both are great examples of Swedish metal and the singers do both clean and harsh vocals. Björn and Christian are both also baritenors, I would guess, and their sound texture at their most comfortable pitch area is quite similar - going up to high notes they don't usually sound similar at all, and Älvestam can do a lot "deeper" growls and maybe also higher belting than Björn. This by no means means that Björn would not be amazing singer, but there aren't that many that can utilize the extreme ends like Christian Älvestam. These singers and the bands are pretty much the best in their class.

[@brontosa5351]

I actually only stumbled across this track during my research for a paper I'm doing on the crossover between post-WWII German and Nordic sociology and "death metal/screamcore" - I have a background in classical piano and flute and primarily listen to electronic and "classic" guitar rock but do try to keep as broad a horizon as possible...I also like certain bands like Tool and etc. That said, I've always had trouble engaging with this particular style bc I just found it too aesthetically "challenging." This is the first example of "melodic death metal" i've ever come across and I'm honestly really impressed. I had no idea this subgenre existed. Very talented group of individuals.

[@Why.Just_why]
