Details: Formed in Sweden in 2004, Scar Symmetry were a unique proposition from the start. As showcased on their debut Symmetric In Design, the band were driven by fervently progressive and melodic instincts, infusing their often brutal riffs and arrangements with wild atmospherics, and sublime melodies that always hit their targets with ruthless precision. As Scar Symmetry moved forward, their music continued to evolve. They joined forces with Nuclear Blast for Pitch Black Progress and have since amassed an extraordinary catalogue of forward-thinking but irrevocably crushing modern metal. Scar Symmetry have been conspicuous by their absence since concluding touring in support of 2014's astonishing The Singularity (Phase I - Neohumanity). The first in a planned trilogy, the album was widely praised for it's sheer audacity. In 2023, Scar Symmetry unveil the second chapter in this intergalactic saga: The Singularity (Phase II - Xenotaph). Harder, more complex, it is more than worth the wait.
