| Scar Symmetry, swedish melodic death metal.
SCAR SYMMETRY was formed in 2004 when Jonas Kjellgren
(Carnal Forge, Centinex, World Below), Henrik
Ohlsson (Theory In Practice, Mutant, Altered Aeon),
Per Nilsson (Altered Aeon), Christian Älvestam
(Unmoored, Incapacity, Torchbearer) and Kenneth
Seil decided to put together a brand new constellation
that would express a fresh and heavy form of catchy
death metal without any boundaries whatsoever.
The band wanted to incorporate huge synthesizers
into the music, along with blazing vituoso guitar
soloing, which would all be backed up with complex
but catchy rhythms and every style of singing
known to metal in general.
In April 2004 SCAR SYMMETRY recorded a demo of
the song "Seeds of Rebellion", which
caught the interest of Cold Records, and very
soon a recording contract was inked. A period
of intense songwriting followed. In July the same
year SCAR SYMMETRY entered the Black Lounge studio
(Centinex, Incapacity) to start the recording
of the debut album "Symmetric in Design",
an album that would showcase 12 songs of excellent
musicianship and outstanding songwriting. After
3 months in the studio the album was finally finished
and scheduled for a February 2005 release. Songs
like "Veil Of Illusions" and "2012,
The Demise Of The 5th Sun" display an incredibly
heavy side of the band, while "Chaosweaver"
and "Dominion" bring forth a considerably
higher tempo without losing any of the intricate
harmony structures. The lyrics delve deep into
the human subconscious, attempting to resurrect
imagination and awe in the listener, which is
also reflected in the brilliant album artwork
designed by Pär Johansson (pjillustrations).
Brace yourself! Because SCAR SYMMETRY will leave
scars, symmetric in design!
"Symmetric In Design" will be released
on February 07, 2005 through Metal Blade Records!
