Christian Alvestam is a beast of a vocalist. He does the cleans and growls and was in Scar Symmetry for the first three albums. He has a lot of other bands/projects he's in, most notable of which are Solution .45 and Svavelvinter. I'd recommend "Perfecting the Void" by Solution .45 and "Vanderland" by Svavelvinter to hear him more.

it's really hard to replicate an experience with Scar Symmetry, cuz they really evolved a lot over the years, and after this album, they had to replace Christian (their lead singer) with two other vocalists to cover the range, and imo, neither of them come close still. I'd recommend checking out "The Illusionist" or "Chaosweaver" from their earlier albums, or "Under BodeIns Bila" from Svavelvinter, his black metal project.

And then we found it all. Caged inside a dream. All-seeing eye sees afloat. Soon it will see no more. Uah! (Grunting) For we will not conform. We're ghosts in the machine. A holographic world-view. Existence in display. Where everything must work as one, can never break in two. This concept lives forever. Outside all state-control. And ever-shedding skin. All things new are fought against, even though their time has come. Stretch and reach to conscious mind. Seek defeat in those who fear. For we will not conform. We're ghosts in the machine. Each separated droplet seek(s?) to rejoin the sea. The structure of the hologram can never break in two. Ways to embrace and enter the oneness of it all. Are ever-shedding skin While it's waiting to rise within. Know you'll never conform. While it's rising - for once, for all. Rise on your own. Rising just to remind you. The inner sector is where you built this nightmare. Rivers will always flow forth into the ocean. A manifest of silent rhyme. Silent rhyme. Wordless rhyme. And then we found it all caged inside a dream. All-seeing eye sees afloat. Soon it will see no more. All things new are fought against. Even though their time has come. For we will not conform. We're ghosts in the machine. Change how you look at all things and what you see will change. Observer and what is observed can never break in two. The quantum revolution never cease to evolve. Forever shedding skin. While it's waiting to rise within. Know you'll never conform. While it's rising - for once, for all. Rise on your own.
