One thing that I love about Scar Symmetry is that they never seem to run out of classy riffs and thoughtful melodies.

The metal gods have been pleased with this offering

No wonder Phase II is taking a while, this is the best album SS has put out.

Perfect balance between clean Vocals and growling.... I love it!!

nilsson is one of those guitar players that gets better and better through the past time

WE'RE GOING TO THE YEAR 9,045 WITH THIS ONE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Absolutely loving his track, but I can't lie, the Swedish accent on the bit at the end cracks me up.

I could listen first 45 seconds on loop for an hour or so, very cool melodic intro and zero vocals, just awesome.

really really good. Cant wait to hear the whole album!!

Awesome stuff, pumped for the album.

such a gracious track!! thank you

I love how the outro gives you time to let that all in, to think, to ponder.

Love this, can't wait for the album to release!

Cant wait for this. its going to be awesome

man i love this song :) so happy that these songs are great

love the ending part! So Epic

O_O WHOA! Scar Symmetry will quickly become my favorite band at this rate. Amazing work!

Can't... stop... listening...

Really amazing cheers from Chile 🇨🇱 southamerica ❤️

what a melodic!

Loved that solo! =D

Saw them supporting Epica and Eluveitie in Bristol last week. I didn't expect much, but I was so wrong, they were superb!

Love it!!!!!!!!!! Never disappointed :3

SO FRICKING GOOD!!!!!

Zyborggian Actually Visceral Bleeding is not either of those genres. I'm pretty sure it's either Tech Death or just plain Death Metal I'm not sure though. But you are right that it's not hard at all to judge a band's genre by it's title xD But once in a while the name can confuse you Just look at bands like We Butter the Bread with Butter. Sounds like a pop band xD (Its a really bad. They're Deathcore or something but they are terrible xD).

Scar Symmetry doing what they do best. Fucking love it.

What a delightful riff at 2:55.

Just received new album now i have all of them.

Fucking awesome, amazing vocals!!!

*Шедевр!!!🤘🏻😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻*

I openly admit that I am a prog-metal snob and don't really listen to bands with death vocals (even Opeth bothers me sometimes) but Scar Symmetry, for whatever reason, I can listen to all the time. It is impressive. I would hold them in the same regard as Fear Factory with obvious stylistic differences but with the same technical and conceptual eloquence. I can hear how much they enjoy what they do when I listen to it ... its the little things throughout that prove it.

A lot of people are complaining that the band has changed but I like this song. I've been listening to metal for 15 years and it would be really dull if bands never experimented and changed things up a bit. Change is good sometimes.

First guitar solo i've learned since hHolographiv universe.. Per is definitely on the right track with this shizz!! Dat intro solo

Damn... that outro!

It's funny, my 2 favorite Scar Symmetry albums are this one (their newest album) and Symmetric In Design (their first album).

I've been a fan since 2004, sounds weird but I just finished understanding a song from a 1998 Jedi mind tricks Underground hip hop song communication a crop circle thesis. It's one of the most complex and amazing story based on actual myths from the Sumerians about the Annunaki and blending that with religion, science, history and acient astronaut theory...11 yrs before acient aliens came out on history lol Anyways I started to look for songs like that one. Then I find.. 2012: The Demise Of The 5th Sun. Feel in love with this band that sec. They are the most original talented technical bands add the vocalist at the time Christian Älvestam and it's eargasmic. He is the strongest talented singer period no one can do what this man can. Now I've been away from you guys since he left I heard your 1st album the new singer did it was good but Christian Älvestam I couldn't get past it. Then I saw your new album and just the name alone reminded me of the first 2 albums futuristic and amazing. Then I listen to limits to infinity and it brought me back but better I was shocked. You guys stepped up thank you. This Album shows. it's the best album by far since the first two if not the best. It's amazing beautiful heavy as fuck and awesone story line through the album.. I bought the album 2 days ago you guys are officially back lol now be consistent thank you amazing job

ouf these lyrics are godawful.

Can someone PLEASE recommend me more music that sounds like the intro. I love that spacy jazz fusion sound. The only music I can think of that feels similar is Ethereal Universe's Vol.7 to their most recent release and Phantasy Star Universe's incredible OST. It could be either electronic or metal (I think these are the only genres that would possibly have this sound).

oh no bob...

I am bit skeptical...how can one compare this song/style to Pitch Black Progress or Holografic Universe? It's "inferior" in my opinion. Still want to listen to the whole album of course!

They sound so similar to Soilwork... what happens?!!

To be honest, this song is basically just some of their old melodies mixed together into a fairly generic SS-Song. Some parts sound very similar to Path of Least Resistance for example. I'm missing something new here, a reason why I should listen to this instead of just any of their last 4 albums.

Christian was amazing but c'mon, grow the fuck up!! how can you be so sure that Pier and the other guys didn't choose well with the new singers?! I mean, have you listen to that man's musicianship at all? dude's a fucking genius!! he would have not picked these 2 guys to sing if it didn't sound good. What matters really is that it has to sound good to them an no one else.

He needs the studio to sound as good as he does. Lars dosent. no disrespect to either but so far im liking what im hearing with the new album. Im still kinda bummed jonas left I dont know how much of the music he really contributed to but the new stuff sounds pretty classic which tells me that per is and was the driving force behind SS. im not digging the chorus on this song as much as limits to infinity but im sure it will grow on me.

workdiggitz I don't want to throw any oil on the fire, but have you seen some videos of Christian live? There's only two on KZread (with Scar Symmetry), both of the Illusionist live at Bloodstock. His singing is spot on and so are his grunts, and he switches over perfectly without effort. I sincerely disagree with the opinion that Christian can't pull it off live. In contrary, the fact that live he sounds just as good as on track is to me proof that he's one of the best around. (Both studio and live) But hey. This is in the past, I'm sooo looking forward to this album! :D
