ROADIE REACTIONS | Scar Symmetry - "Scorched Quadrant"

[@azavape900]

Holographic Universe is one of my most heard albums of all time, love them

[@davewetering7554]

This is how you do a comeback after all those years! Deep respects for the band❤

[@99defense]

I listened to them all the way up to phase I in 2014... and have been waiting the 9 years since then for this. I have not been disappointed!

[@uwegobbers7992]

And so do I. I had the pleasure to meet Per Nilson after their show in Nuremberg back in 2015. Such a humble and kind person. And having a beer with the two vocalists was also awesome. 😀

[@TheWiseGrif]

So glad you got around to this Tank, i've been eagerly anticipating this new album, and interacting with the band/Per Nilsson on social media, and my hype hit new levels when they could finally confirm the new release

[@bellablue5285]

Oh I'm glad to see you react to this one, I didn't quite make their premiere but I am ecstatic to see both new music, and a new album, from Scar Symmetry

[@bellablue5285]

And seriously, 2023 is such a phenomenal year for new music. I don't want another repeat of 2020 takes 1, 2, or 3, but we are definitely getting some great music coming out of that all

[@satyer]

i listen to scar simmetry since i was in middle school, and i love it! im so glad i see you do a reaction on them

[@matthieubourque6156]

Man I love them so much, and I like the singer that replaced Christian Alvestam, but man Peak Scar Symmetry was when Christian was there. That dude's vocals especially his cleans were phenomenal.

[@SaturnineXTS]

Guess that's why they've gotten Per to do some vocals too, his own timbre matches Christian's more closely

[@esaedvik]

Scar Symmetry is so good live. Would love to see them again, love having them back!

[@sammiebray1661]

I didn’t know you were a fan, this makes me really happy 🥹 I’ve waited 9 years for the hiatus to end and I couldn’t be happier that it’s over.

[@SydalaTristan]

Thank you so much. Scar Symmetry is one I have to listen to just to get back to myself. They are releasing new music just as my lige needs it. This song is amazing.

[@stephaniek5269]

Thank you for this reaction! I was looking forward to see you and one of my favourite bands together. I am excited for this new album, hope it is june very quick 😍

[@MountMyriad]

I saw them play this live in Umeå, Sweden last week, along with Orbit Culture, The Halo Effect and Meshuggah! :) Umeå isn't too far from my hometown and I've been there a lot before, plus the tickets were quite cheap so I just had to go. It was part of their Scandinavia-only tour, with only Swedish bands, which I think is pretty cool. Orbit Culture alone were pretty much half the reason I decided to go, been listening to them a whole lot for the past year or two. I actually found them through your channel, Tank! Thanks for introducing me to them :D I love the other bands as well, although Scar Symmetry must've gone completely under my radar somehow because it was the first time I heard them. They definitely left me wanting to hear more of their stuff, they really killed it at the show. As did all the other bands, everyone was on point. I don't go to a lot of shows but I'm glad I did with this one, had a really awesome night!

[@Jenza82]

I was at the show in Stockholm and they killed it there as well. 🤘🏻

[@lakabaka]

I was in Umeå, great show. Meshuggah made the rest look like amateurs though :)

[@bashiel]

I was there in Umeå aswell :)

[@Henkiixx]

Fellow Umeå enjoyer here, absolutely love Scar Symmetry, especially their 2014 album which IMO is a heavier Dream Theater sound. Since DT is one of my absolute favs it just hits perfectly!

[@Sabretoothsquirrel]

Gonna see that show in Gothenburg this coming weekend with my cousin. I can hardly wait!

[@spankylosaurus9364]

Nine. Fucking. Years. Worth it!

[@evokenzyklon5026]

Hell yeah! 🤘

[@reubenk7331]

Loved the song and the visuals!

[@hungryguitarstudent]

As a guitarist, I was looking forward to Per's solo, but the bass blew me away in equal measure. So groovy and just great note choices!

[@CarolMarianaa]

I love Scar Symmetry since their beginning, but I'm binge listening to this song (maybe like no other, recently) because of the bass lines and runs. They NEVER, EVER, disappoint us.

[@mathewlombardo3876]

MY VOICE IS GONNA BE IN THIS ALBUM! Once upon a time, they held an open call for people to record themselves doing chants, that were supposed to go in the background of an outro solo for one of these songs. i think that was in like, 2016 or so, so it may have changed since then, but i hope not!

[@westvann]

Same here! The Ultraterrestrial Choir participant for the win!

[@SaturnineXTS]

everyone and their mom is involved hehe

[@mathewlombardo3876]

@@SaturnineXTS good good, #momsformetal

[@TheSpeakersofFlames]

It sounds like you guys might have been in phase 1. Amazing!

[@michal24980]

Thanks, Tank to discover this band to me. The last single have all what i love in metal :)

[@cwes6404]

New band for me. Great one.

[@rmshredz]

This whole album is insane, I'm loving it so much. Per Nilsson is slowly becoming one of my favorites, his note choices are next level imo. Also if you like bass so much, I'm surprised you haven't reacted to any of Jacob Umansky's songs, his stuff with Intervals and also solo features are insane!

[@BelakorVenator]

One of the only bands who implement clean vocals that I really dig. Phase One obviously implied at least one more release, but it’s been so long that I honestly didn’t expect it.

[@pglover64]

Tank, another great reaction! Not requesting this but want you to put this on your music radar screen! Face Yourself - Shadow Self(feat. Shane Jost)

[@swedishrobert]

I saw them in Stockholm 4 days ago and they were SO great. I were actually there for The Kings of Heavy Metal...Orbit Culture 🤘🤘🤘but man, Scar Symmetry was SO awesome. They were so intense and they really enjoyed being there. They delivered big time 🤘😊 And so did you, Tank, as always, great reactionvideo 🤘🙂 AND....a LOT LESS stops than usual. Love that 😎🥳🤘🤘🤘

[@tomwisniewski8988]

There aren't many metal bands that pull off major scales like this. Bad ass.

[@klimpster]

Sweet! I’m going to see them in a small club next friday in my hometown. And get this, the line-up for that evening is: Orbit Culture, Scar Symmetry, The Halo Effect and Meshuggah… In a pool table bar. I’m not even joking.

[@lerta666]

Du vet om att konserten är flyttad till Saab-arena va? :)

[@klimpster]

@@lerta666 Nooope :O

[@lerta666]

@@klimpster gå dit istället så ses vi :) hoppas dom har biljardbord där med iofs 👍😃

[@TheWiseGrif]

I have rarely ever hated being an American so much...but seeing that tour announcement and knowing i couldn't attend broke me

[@Imfreehowaboutu]

Love this band. The bass on this album was played by their guitarist Per Nilsson. I could be mistaken but I don’t think they have an official bassist at the moment.

[@SaturnineXTS]

If you've yet to catch up on the singularity phase I, Per Nilsson himself starts singing some parts on that album too, his voice is really nice

[@burkmat]

Gonna see them live next week together with meshuggah, the halo effect and orbit culture 😁🤘

[@sirianna_tan9916]

It'd be amazing to see you react to some more of Lovebites like 'Holy War' or 'Break the wall' or 'Stand and Deliver' or 'Judgement Day' (with their new bass player, they even have a video on how they picked her)

[@dmphax]

Never listened to Scar Symmetry before, but this song rules!!!

[@MatthiasLetsch]

well then go check out their discography, you have a wild ride before you^^

[@mariposa00]

Scar Symmetry is my favorite metal band of all time, I'm so excited for their new album 🤟🏻🔥

[@Johnnyslaw]

If you love them like me did you also tried Insomnium? Those two are my top bands.

[@JGGuitarCovers]

Scar Symmetry ❤

[@scottmartin6594]

The Singularity Phase 1 was fucking epic!!!! Technogalactic Cybergedon is a masterpiece.

[@zacharymicah]

Dude, Christian's three Solution .45 albums are awesome and Miseration too!

[@99defense]

Three? I need to go find the one I missed...

[@zacharymicah]

@@99defense the first is For Aeons Past and the other two "Nightmares in the Waking State" are a double album. They're really good.

[@brendenj9113]

Good crap yes, he is one of my fav vocalists of all time. Miseration was just so heavy I think i still have brain damage from the headbanging.

[@sonia417]

Through Night-Kindomed gates,so good Im gonna cry🥲😭

[@petter5721]

❤❤❤

[@LuxTenebrae]

Loved this band, was more of a fan when Christian was the vocalist but they still slayed.

[@HanoverYakker]

Straight banger!! The cleans give me some real I, Prevail similarities in song structure and the middle part is very similar to Mark Tremonti structures where the riffs are heavy and fast but the melody and vocals are slower. Awesome music video as well. On a different note, really wish you would add some other new bands like: The Warning, Starset, Veio and expose yourself and other community members to some awesome music @tankthetech

[@trs5127]

While Christian is too good to ever be replaced, Robert and Lars do a great enough job and Per is as fresh and mind bending as ever on the guitar. Also, other than the amazing bass, man, the guy on the kit (I'm sorry, I'm forgetting the name) is going off. And those cymbals in tbe chorus starting from 'discovered targets die' are crisp as fuck. Always going to love tbis band.

[@jockejezuz]

I saw them live like a week ago (togheter with Orbit Culture, The Halo Effect and Meshuggah) and they surprised me. As the opening act they really gave it their all, despite us in the crowd being there for the main bands mostly. Will check out the new album with an open mind.

[@mrmeta85]

The chorus sounds like La Isla bonita... Nice song!!!

[@brendenj9113]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE SCAR SYMMETRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sniperfreak223]

Back in the day, Per Nilsson was always joking about using 9-strings on the next Scar Symmetry album...I wonder if that's part of the extra bassiness on this

[@TMosher0194]

yussss, did you happen to do a video on the new Dead by April release?

[@mootkickee]

And go back and listen to phase I. it’s brilliant 🤘

[@mootkickee]

Holographic universe is a masterpiece

[@randysims1646]

I know this isn't related to the video, but if you have never heard of them, Vintersea just dropped two banger singles recently. They are an amazing group that could, in my opinion, easily share the stage with the likes of Jinjer and Spiritbox. Definitely worthy of your attention. Their performance for, The Slay at Home Tour, would make for a great reaction video.

[@incubus5112]

Hi twitch! :)

[@devlinshoffner3944]

They aren't quite the same without Christian however, they still haven't disappointed since the duo took over vocals.

[@Mr_jz_12]

It's a two part (three part?) conception album. Continued on from phase one. Still miss Christian, but the new singers sound amazing!

[@hobojungle1]

The cleans remind me of god forbid for some reason. If the whole album is as good as this track it’ll be a great one.

[@jennywahlbeck9384]

Check out another Swedish band, Self Deception with fight fire with gasoline 😃

[@S3condary1980]

Obscure Alliance is one of the best songs of all time if you ask me! Me and my son (7yrs) hammers it everyday with Amon Amarth on the way to school ! Save's at least 10min of the drive! =)

[@Tenucha]

It's like Orbit Culture meets Dream Theater. A friend just took me to see Avatar live (Orbit Culture opened!!) Swedish Metal is just the best! Thanks Tank!

[@MarLin67]

Mocking ABBA? Now you really have pooped in the blue cabinet! 😂😂 Great reaction, Great band, Great song! Great sweden! 💙💛💙

[@mattiasandersson7558]

Jonas kjellgren was in that band earlier =D

[@lukecowley4949]

Parts of this also remind me of Dream Theater. Especially in terms of synth, certain riffs and definitely the solo

[@justinanderson3056]

Please react to is it really you by loathe these guys deserve more recognition!

[@John_Souls]

Are you planning reacting to new Gloryhammer?

[@TankTheTech]

Possibly.

[@Justin_Anvil]

Per Nilsson recorded the bass tracks on this song, so F*ck yes the bass was awesome!! I think Per may be the best living metal guitarist..,,just an old man’s opinion :)

[@eksukka]

La Isla Bonita vibes in the chorus 😅

I didn't. And now I feel like a loser. Hahaha. Gonna listen to it tonight.

[@yankeedude252]

@@TankTheTech You going to stream any part of that? I'd tune in.

[@mathewlombardo3876]

@@TankTheTech definitely worth a few repeat listens. As a concept album they toss in alot of callbacks and familiar hooks that really wrap the whole thing together. Stellar album despite what other die hard SS fans say.

[@Aldoh1620]

Can we get a reaction of "I will find you" from Whitechapel??? 🤟

[@Tschmitt7]

Is Christian back in the band?

[@jjcrain9540]

I was concerned when christian alvestam left the band that it would be pretty rough times. However, the last two albums were stellar!! with that being said for the LOVE OF GOD please listen to @solution.45. His vocals are just so phenomenal

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Holographic Universe and earlier albums were bangin', but after that they werent quite the same, imo.

[@fressno1807]

Tank, how TF can you pronounce swedish so good?

[@reanimate_xyz]

Yeah really nice actually . Sits in a nice middleground of downtuning but with actual songwriting and riffs (not just a bunch of Morse code/zeros) as well as a 'touch' of prog tropes which are still tasty..

[@Imurai]

My mom was a fan, I grew up on ABBA. Come at me bruh! 😁

[@ChristianLuber]

Holy Shhhh.... same story here. Heard Holographic Universe 24/7 and lost the band after that. You can call it a comeback, at least for me - thank you for that!

[@zacharymicah]

The first three albums with Christian Alvestam are my favorites. Dark Matter Dimensions is good, and so was The Unseen Empire, but after that I lost interest.

[@lukecowley4949]

Tbh this would be better if it was more clean rather than growls / screams. At first it seemed the riffs and their vibe didn't match the vocals. But still really enjoyed it

[@HELWINTER333]

Still love this band but theyre not the same without Christians amazing vocals...you should check out his stuff in solution 45 amd miseration tank.

[@sergeantmason]

its almost been three months since sabaton released their song the first soldier. when are you going to do a reaction to it? Btw Sabaton is releasing their BRAND NEW song 1916 tomorow at 3pm CEST. can you please do a reaction to it and The First Soldier if you havnt heard it yet

[@LiquidFiresoul]

First GREAT song after Christian left.

[@loviepittsburgh2222]

You have got to react to the new Chrononautilus song. So much better than this one.
