Throughout the history of Rock there have many bands that have lost their amazing lead vocalist and replaced him (or her) while continuing to be successful. Van Halen did it. AC/DC did it. Genesis did it. Black Sabbath did it. Can Scar Symmetry do it? Last year Christian Älvestam left the popular Swedish band due to creative differences. I cried for days because of that. OK, I didn't really cry, but I was saddened by that fact. While Scar Symmetry's music was above average Gothenburg Metal, it was Älvestam's vocals that I went crazy for. His modern guttural growl was juxtaposed with his soaring classic Heavy Metal voice. What more, the vocal melodies he wrote were really solid and memorable. Read more ›› |

We all know Älvestam has departed and was a big part of the Scar Symmetry overall trademark sound (like it should be with all vocalists). Two vocalists Robert Karlsson and Lars Palmqvist have filled in the vacant spot. The last SS album wasn't great but it wasn't that bad either and even a slight disappointment when compared to the one before. Read more ›› |

I can't help but compare to their previous material even if they did get two different vocalists to replace Christian. Overall, I've only given it a single listen and I don't think I'll give it a second just yet.

Gave this album another shot and well, I like it a little more than I used to. As a follow-up to their previous (and greatest) album, things were bound to go south. Especially after Christian left. Special shout-out to "A Parenthesis in Eternity," best song on the album for sure.

I know a 7.5 isn't a bad score at all, but it just feels criminally low. It's not their best album, but it's always been an 8.5 or 9 for me. Really killer intro to the two new vocalists.
