艺人介绍

Scar Symmetry成立于2004年，当时Kjellgren (前Carnal Forge, Centinex, World Below)、Henrik Ohlsson (前Theory In Practice, Mutant, Altered Aeon)、 Per Nilsson (前Altered Aeon), Christian Älvestam (前Unmoored, Incapacity, Torchbearer) 与Kenneth Seil决定成立一只全新的融合多种元素、视听者更容易接受的死亡金属乐队。乐队将许多合成器的效果连同变化无穷的吉他Solo一起，融合到了音乐当中。

2004年4月，Scar Symmetry录制了他们的一首名为“Seeds of Rebellion”的demo，这引起了Cold唱片公司极大的兴趣，并很快同他们签订了录音合约，此后进入了一段热情的歌曲创作期。同年7月Scar Symmetry进入了Black Lounge studio录音棚，开始了他们首张正式专辑《Symmetric in Design》的录音工作。此张专辑包含12首歌曲，突出显示了队成员精湛的音乐技巧与高超的创作才能。3个月以后，专辑的录制工作结束，并且很快上了2005年2月的发行单。歌曲“Veil Of Illusions”与“2012, The Demise Of The 5th Sun”显示了乐队音乐风格厚重的一面，但同时歌曲“Chaosweaver”、“Dominion”显示出了大量的高速段落，但这些高速段落和谐的结构并没有因乐曲编排的精细复杂而有所损失。歌词的创作方面也进行了深入研究，很快将听者引入大无限的遐想当中。

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).

When signing to Nuclear Blast and releasing their much anticipated new record “Pitch Black Progress” in 2006, the band had evolved so much and reached higher spheres – in the media as well as in the metal community. From then on everyone was convinced SCAR SYMMETRY is more than just another metal band.

Enter 2008, the second album, “Holographic Universe”, for the long running German label took the band not only a few more steps up. It crushed into the German Media Control Charts at position #68 in its first week of sale! What a tremendous success! Shortly after this fantastic achievement, the band parted ways with their singer Christian Älvestam – a shock to many but SCAR SYMMETRY knew the deal when replacing him with Roberth “Robban” Karlsson (DEVIAN, FACEBREAKER, EDGE OF SANITY, etc) & Lars Palmqvist for harsh and clean vocals.

Although noone would have thought, an extraordinary singer like Älvestam could be replaced, SCAR SYMMETRY are truly back and stronger than ever! Robban and Lars did an amazing job on “Dark Matter Dimensions” – and so did the rest of the group! The growls even more brutal, the clear vocals even more emotional and moving and the music sticks to what you know from SCAR SYMMETRY, yet mastermind Jonas Kjellgren managed to push his boys into a slightly more progressive direction without losing their punching death metal approach!

In 2011, the band then released their album &The Unseen Empire&.
