SCAR SYMMETRY: Video Footage From Enschede Posted Online - Nov. 4, 2009
Fan-filmed video footage of SCAR SYMMETRY's November 3, 2009 performance at Atak in Enschede, Holland can be viewed below (clips uploaded by Erhan Düzey).

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Christian has since been replaced by Roberth Karlsson (lead growl vocals and backing clean vocals) and Lars Palmqvist (lead clean vocals and backing growl vocals).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.

I like Christian better. It's awkward with two singers on stage and I just like Christian's voice more... but I'd rather have Scar Symmetry with these two guys than no Scar Symmetry at all

COMMENT | Much better than before.

I still agree than Christian is still the better clean singer, but compared to some of his first performances with SS, Lars actually sounds alot better. Granted he's not singing Prism Gate atm. That was a botchjob...

COMMENT | Don't get me wrong...

I have loved everything Scar Symmetry has put out, but every live video I have seen (including with Christian), have sounded atrocious vocally. I give him more leeway because it seems like it would be harder to do harsh vocals then switch to singing on pitch, but it seems that their live performances suffer from a vocal standpoint.

COMMENT | Excellent

Dark Matter Dimensions is an amazing album start to end- I think the band pull it off very well without Christian. Come to the US!

hm... the growls in the vids sound nice, but the clean vocals aren't that great. maybe there also some fans' voices in that vid who sing along pretty badly, so that could be a reason why it all sounds a bit out of tune.
btw check out "the few against many" if you like christian älwestam!

COMMENT | Wow

Fucking terrible. It's depressing what's happened to one of my favorite bands.
