Scar Symmetry is a melodic progressive death metal act
straight out of Sweden, with two previous CDs; "Symmetric
In Design,"(2005) and "Pitch Black Progress," (2006) are some
of their earlier works and have sold millions all over the
globe. ***
Their latest effort brings "Holographic Universe," to
the table with thunderous force. This release has gotten everyone's
attention with such tracks as; "Timewave Zero," which displays
some awesome guitar solos,fine drumming and great vocals.The
band which consist of Jonas Kjellgren (rhythm/lead guitar),
Herik Ohlsson (drums), Christian Alvestam (vocals), Kenneth
Seil (bass) and Per Nilsson (rhythm/lead guitar), make up
this five piece masterpiece. All the tracks and band members
on this release are awesome in every way possible making this
album as best as it can be, and it shows in the track "Ghost
Prototype I (Measurement Of Thought)," this song is incredible.
***
Another track "Quantum Leaper," has an eerie feel to
it, the vocals have a scary growling force built within as
it gives us the vibe that sends chills down your spine.The
last track titled "Ghost Prototype II (Deus Ex Machina),"
has a slow mellow feel with a great guitar solo and its mellow
vocals that float off in the atmosphere. ***
Scar Symmetry's "Holographic Universe," is a must have
for your collection because it gives you the speed & drama
you need and then slow your senses down before returning you
back to reality. We shall see what unfolds with their next
release, it just might be difficult to beat this winner in
my book. Go Get It Now!
