Word, death metal as a genre historically lacks clean vocals. Deathcore/metalcore introduced that nonsense. I like it with other genres, but not in death metal.
Älvestam can't ever be called Overrated. Although perhaps being in three bands can be a bit too much... :p not to mention all the other appearances he has with like 4 - 5 other bands O.o
It also helps having great musicians at your side.
This song is pretty goddamn heavy. I can't say I like the rest of the album, but every time I think of something heavy, the intro to this song comes to mind.
And then when I growl "IN DREAM DECIPHER", my dog looks at me with that "the fuck is wrong with you?" kind of look.
Its the same on my Channel. My new video have over 2000 views already but the counter stopped at 700 a few days ago? What is happening.....does YouTube have problems?
@TheSymmetryDark I don't think its fair to call this singing man... nothing against the music im big into supporting metal i just cant call this "singing' with good faith
@chrismora31 Eh... how?? Did we not watch the same video? Did you not hear how brutal and epic those growling vocals sound? Where's the waste in sounding this amazing?
@chrismora31 Ah, OK. Still, his growling is almost unmatched. If you're talking about this song having clean vocals, I'll have to disagree... death metal needs no clean vocals. If you're talking about his vocals in general (in Miseration) then I guess I do agree. Although, again, it's death metal with SOME melodic elements, which doesn't necessarily beg for the inclusion of clean vocals.
@wushupants his vocals are amazing, and i suppose i dont go as heavy as most people that listen to death metal. all of my music that is labeled death metal has progressive elements or melodic elements, keyboards, or some instrument usually not included. My favorite of Scar Symmetry was Holographic Universe which some people consider too melodic. But i do agree, no matter what he is unmatched in every way of his singing.
@TheRPGguy94 That's because they were (and still are) a MELODIC death metal band. But I guess you are "tr00" so clean vocals and everything that isn't hyperblasting sucks to you.
@Omgffsmf Oh look,assumptions! No,Scar Symmetry is crap because they are hardly even a death metal band at all. nearly ever part of their musicianship is borderline prog metal, plus the fact on most of their later stuff cleans are nearly,if not more prominent than the growls are. Its hard to even consider them death metal,they just sound like a mess.
Take something like Solution .45. heavy riffs, a few melodic soft parts but not overdone,cleans compliment the growls.
I guess, since cleans =/= melodic DM, we'll have to come up with a new genre for Scar Symmetry, Soilwork, Dark Tranquillity, Disarmonia Mundi, Wintersun, and even Solution .45. And yes, I assumed, but seeing as you hate them because of them not being death metal enough and using clean vocals, can't you admit I was half-right? Last but not least, opinions are subjective. If you wan't to express opinions, don't state them as fact.
@Omgffsmf When I said cleans=/=Melodic death metal I meant in in the sense that they aren't what makes Melodic Death metal what it is. Early In Flames and At The Gates were some of the founders of Melodic Death metal and used no cleans.
But yeah,whats the real use in arguing. I dont like it at all,but there's nothing wrong with someone else liking it. Can we just agree to disagree?
@TheRPGguy94, OH LOOK! WE'VE GOT OURSELVES A BADASS OVER HERE!
Scar Symmetry was the best band for Christian to be in, we all can probably agree to this. However, dissing Scar Symmetry for their less usage of growls is plain stupid. Instrumentally, Scar Symmetry is much better than Solution .45 for the reasons that they don't abuse the the low B string on the guitar, but instead use the whole guitar fretboard.
@TheRPGguy94 just because their prog-melo-death rather than melo-death doesn't make scar symmetry bad. if staying defined to a genre is your basis on whether a band is good or not, then there is no hope for you.
@Lunarcheese72 My problem with that is the fact their boring. Nearly every song on an album adheres to a singular formula. I tried to get into them, I went out and bought Holographic Universe,the only good song was Morphogenesis,the rest just all sounded the same. I tried again with Dark Matter Dimensions. I liked maybe 3 or so songs,same problem as with Holographic Universe. Borrowed unseen empire from a friend and it was the worst of the 3, not a single good song.
Seeing where the comments are going, here are a few other bands Christian is either in now or has been in. Incapacity - Guitars/Backing Vocals Miseration - Vocals (new album scheduled late next year) The Few Against Many - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar Quest of Aidance - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar Solution .45 - Vocals Torchbearer - Backing Vocals/Guitar Unmoored - Guitar/Bass/Vocals Angel Blake - Backing Vocals/Guitar Scar Symmetry - Vocals Solar Dawn - Vocals/Bass
Word, death metal as a genre historically lacks clean vocals. Deathcore/metalcore introduced that nonsense. I like it with other genres, but not in death metal.
