SCAR SYMMETRY's November 3, 2009 performance at Atak in Enschede, Holland can be viewed below (clips uploaded by

SCAR SYMMETRY's latest album,
"Dark Matter Dimensions", came out on October 2 via
Nuclear Blast Records.
The song
"Noumenon & Phenomenon" was released as a digital download single on September 18, backed by
"Nonhuman Era".
For
"Dark Matter Dimensions",
SCAR SYMMETRY wanted "more of an in-your-face and organic-sounding album this time around, and I think we managed to create an album like that," drummer
Henrik Ohlsson told
AOL's
Noisecreep. "We kind of lost some of the edge and aggression on the previous album and now we've taken it all back! I mean, we've kept all the key ingredients of our sound on
'Dark Matter Dimensions', but we've taken it all one step further by writing better songs than ever and bringing in some cool stuff that you haven't heard before in
SCAR SYMMETRY."
SCAR SYMMETRY parted ways with singer
Christian Älvestam last year due to "business and creative differences and lack of interpersonal chemistry." The band explained at the time, "We came to a point where the band's existence was in jeopardy because of these differences, and the only way for us to continue with an inspired state of mind was to go through with this change in the lineup."
Christian has since been replaced by
Roberth Karlsson (lead growl vocals and backing clean vocals) and
Lars Palmqvist (lead clean vocals and backing growl vocals).
SCAR SYMMETRY's previous album,
"Holographic Universe", debuted at No. 33 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
