Scar Symmetry - Bassist Quits
Scar Symmetry has announced the amicable departure of bass player Kenneth Seil, who has been with the group since 2004 as one of the founding members. He will now pursue other things. The Swedish metal band has recruited Andreas Silén on bass and Benjamin Ellis on guitar (of Propane Headrush and Bloodshot Dawn fame respectively) to help them on their tour with Eluveitie and Epica.
Scar Symmetry has issued the following statement: "We are sorry to announce that Kenneth has left Scar Symmetry to pursue other interests, we miss him dearly but as they say: the show must go on! Much love and many thanks to Kenneth for all the years, all the drunken tour stories, all the good times!
"We did our first show of the Epica/Eluveitie/Scar Symmetry tour tonight, and we are excited to announce that for this tour we have enrolled the amazing Andreas Silén on bass and Benjamin Ellis on guitar (of Propane Headrush and Bloodshot Dawn fame respectively), these guys shred like noone else!"

Written by MyNameJeff on 30.10.2015 at 18:18 Bullshit. As long as Per and Henrik is in the band I have no doubts  Kenneth has been in the band since 2004. I can understand that there comes a time to nurture other interests

Written by YourRequiem on 31.10.2015 at 02:43 It would have a better pun if you didn't write it in capitals.  Scar Symmetry have a couple of nice, and a couple of not as fun, records already. I don't really mind if they quit. They had a nice run. But I wouldn't mind if they put out new albums either. Gothenburg was the genre that got me into metal, but lately I've found that I don't really enjoy new stuff in this vein. I prefer to listen to the classics. I've become an old fart I guess. (Note: of course there are some new albums I enjoy.)

That sucks. It's always a shame to see a founding member quit, but I get it.
