  • stop crying little bitches maybe christian was better but who gives a fuck? they still kick ass and sing better than all of ul together so stop being such a pain in the ass and stop posting shit... if u dont like it dont hear it as simple as that...

  • jesus stop complaining

  • @nictherocker amen. Christians influence in growling is SS's new growler, so suck it, complain-ers

  • they needed 2 guys to make the job of one.... that christian was the man

  • why doesn't the cookie monster try out?

  • Why take a perfect sound and fuk it up with two guys that think they have the talent of one!!

  • these guys are shit

  • oh god, what the fuck is this? and this is why i wont get the newer albums. i love pitch black progress, thats it man. fuck these two, sorry guys but im 18 and even i kick more ass than you (much love to SS from northern NJ, USA! much love to christian from the only metal vocalist in this whole shitty area :D you're an inspiration to me bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

  • Christians better....just sayin...

  • The clean singer sounds like he should be in a shitty power metal band

  • GAH! fuck my life. it kills me inside to hear someone else singing Artificial Sun Projection.

  • 0:23 the perfect description of these 2 vocalis

    Ooooh nooo !! they suck live !!! if SS do a Youtube Audition they find a better vocalist to replace the patetic work of these 2 suckerballs ¬¬

    SS = Awesome Band

    Awesome Band need Awesome Vocals :)

  • I dont understand why they hired 2 new vocalists? They should have just hired 1 more screamer to fill in all the parts christian doesnt have time to sing, problem solved...

  • The new vocalists do a very good job

  • So you get rid of one amazing singer and replace him with two singers, and them combined are not as good as Chris. Hmmm your math doesnt seem to ad up...

  • It takes two to fill Christian's shoes and even that's not enough.

  • Christian is the god and retired so just listen to their pathetic preachers, and follow the allmighty "Chris" like we have done the last 2010 years.

  • robert and fucker XD both suck CHRISTIAN PLEASE COME BACK!!!

  • bah! dra tillbaka Christian in i bandet vafan!... Roberth suger ju.

  • whats about the background music and 2:05 , its gay!

  • Per has a unique way of reading a magazine.

  • oooooohh nooooo.lol

  • I WANT CHRISTIAN BACK 

  • christian was soooo much better =´(

  • bunch of screaming loosers bleah

  • I must say I'm getting a little tired of the whining about Christian. Yes, he was great with this band. Yes, they had irreconcilable differences. Now SS has done the best they can to replace him. I'm still happy with the "new" line-up and am looking forward to seeing them in December.

  • @ProgueNation You know, Christian joined Solution .45 after leaving SS right?

  • @Blackmamba801 By now everyone should know that if they paid attention in class lol. Keep spreading the word.

  • yeah! me encantan!! chicos son geniales!!

  • @sandraelizabethec

    Tu trasero apestoso , estos nuevos cantantes apestan con ganas.

  • I love S.S. anyway :D

  • damn why do all bands have to show off the fact that they have booze? Shit ur band drink ur booze but dont gloat

  • Well, apparently, Christian is better at eating cheese.

  • I think Lars is better than Christian because...

    1. Lars sounds more professional and refined than Christian

    2. Lars doesnt need really need ne backing vocals whereas Christian clearly does. On all the SS albums, most of the time Christian used to layer his vocals (Clean and Harsh) . Lars on the other hand also uses layering but it doesnt sound like he needs them. he just uses them to sound as perfect as possible.

    However Christian really needs layering nd stuff.

  • @aag619 Lars has absolutely nothing on Christian. Have you heard him live? He's awkward and out of tone. He sounds pretty with all the studio effects on the album, but he's nowhere near Christian's caliber out on the stage.

  • @detahdomo Yeah i do admit on seeing some Lars live shows that he really sucked especially on some of the performances of Prism and Gate. The only reason why i like Christian is because his vocals are catchy . Lars lacks catchiness.

    but on live performances- ive never really seen a good quality video of Christian live but there seems to be so many hq vids of lars for ppl to criticize.

    But i really dont feel lars sux live ne more. ive seen some of his recent live vids and his vocals are quite gud

  • @detahdomo Check out the vid from Bloodstock 2007 when S.S perform The Illusionist. Christian sings the outro as if it was nothing.

  • @aag619 He layered his vocals because he didn't have any backup. Lars is good, yes, but Christian is way more professional. He's been in the business a lot longer and can hit pitches Lars has never heard.

    Layering is not a necessity. He did it most like for the effect. New Scar Symmetry STILL LAYERS, but they use 2 vocalists instead of just 1.

  • @AllToRuin Christian is more catchy and yes, more experienced. what i ment to say was Lars' 'voice' sounds more refined than Christian's.

    yeah i alredy sed he layerd his vocals but im a hundred percent sure -without layering- Lars would sound better than Christian. The only set back is that of course, Christian is more catchy. and we dont kno wether Lars can hit high notes or not. its possible that he can hit very high notes like Christian but didnt want to try them on the DMD.

  • @aag619 Christian beats the both of them. Check out the video where S.S perform The Illusionist at Bloodstock 2007. It sounds amazing. Christian sings the outro as if it was nothing. Lars can't even handle his own stuff.

  • @aag619 Blasphemy

  • i think you guys need to stop complaining, at least they got new people instead of just falling apart. yeah cristian was good but these are better than nothing. stfu already :/

  • christian is so much better, haaha

  • Christian is FAR better than these two clowns :)

  • lol@ "clowns"

    My dear old Dad [rip] was the only person I ever heard, use the term clowns... that made me literally 'lol' and reminded me of him... : )

  • @knobrock Man, I'm sorry for your dad. I wish you and your family good luck and many blessings from God. :]

  • I really can't wait to hear them actually cover the old songs

  • 0:20 LOL

    These guys are good

  • Gravitational Lensing is now up on Metal Injection!

    GET OVER THERE NOW!!!

  • Christian is no longer scar symmetry vocalist but it's atill a great band though the guitar's never change also the drums

    but christian look's like kane from WWE wich is awsome bnig scary guy with a pretty boy voice is AWSOME++

  • @esara6 yeah,, haha.. i think he's so hottt. and i like kane, too.. hehe..

    bring christian back!

  • people do need to stop bitching. Sure, no-one can top Christian (the only vocalist I know that's better than him is Stu Block), but Lars and Rob are still good.

  • takes 2,2 replace KRILLE :D

  • lol FACKING HI FIIVE

  • seriously i know christian was the best byut these guys are still prettyy good and their new album is aswell they wont be as good as christian but this band will still kick ass with these guys!

  • they're lame with this dual singer thing going on now imo

  • @Beecels yep. they say 2 heads are better than one.. well, these 2 heads are not better than one christian alvestam.

  • @heyshaceisinhuman they both are awesome but i cannot disagree with you, Alvestam was perfect!

  • amen.

  • 0:54

    Lol... Terrible.

    Glad he doesn't sound like that on the new album.

  • haha their english compared to in flames :P

  • yeah and their music compared to new flames kicks it 100-0

  • Brilliant! Crazy and fucking amazing haha!!!! Love this band and I really like Lars ;)

  • booze-control button haha

  • 1:11 and 1:28 Lars sounds good to me.

  • no one can top christian, but they will be nearly as good as he ;)

  • 0:20 kiss

  • Not even two guys can top Christian! cmon ^^

  • @Fr4ss3 Ohyes they can!

  • i`ll get me goat

  • i just find it amazing that they need 2 singers to replace chris, im gonna miss em but he has like 463953 other active bands so its ok lol

  • I'm not gonna lie, that sounded fucking wicked. Christian is an awesome vocalist and I'm so damned glad that they managed to find appropriate replacement.

  • Hmmmm...

    I don't know much about the new singers. It isn't my nature to be inheritly skeptical but...but God, Christian was just such a beast, he's gonna be freaking impossible to top, even with two.

  • 2:17

    LOL @ "Two girls and a cup" reference

  • I Can't Wait To Hear Scar Symmetry With Their New Second Drummer Too!!!!

  • How amazing is Christian as a musician that he could growl like a beast and sing like a classically trained singer.

  • the work of one person

    made by two?

    come on, there is no comparation with Christian

    Christian is awesome !!

    he is perfect for Scar Symmetry

  • The clean singer sucks live.

    I want Christian back.

  • No one person can equal Christian...we all know this to be true, but with two people his performance can be equaled!

    Furthermore, I expect that their music is going to get even better because with 2 people they can add a alot more harmonizing like from their 1st album and take their sound in new directions

  • No, Seriously, the guys just wanted to split the money the band makes into more portions so it would be spent quicker. You know, to avoid having to pay more taxes on it........

  • does he say "but they can't eat all the cheese i have for them"? 2:04

  • White-hot glowing metal !

  • i think they sound pretty good, of course replacements are never the same and sometimes not as good as the person they're replacing but this is about as good as it gets as far as replacements go

  • I think both are great.

  • I'm hoping it's that they're drunk. I'm hoping that they were tired/not at their best. I'm hoping they'll improve with practice.

    I think they will do the job well. But they aren't going to come anywhere near Christian. Judging just on what I've seen in this video, both of them combined still aren't as good as Christian.

    Clean: too powermetal-80s-ish. Doesn't sound that good.

    Growl: Doesn't sound nearly as brutal as Christian, it's not as powerful.

    I hope things turns out okay.

  • the growl is great but i really dont like the clean singers style its wrong, too 80's rock-ish :S

  • 80's rock is great and should come back, plus is the base to all modern rock

  • 80's rock is the reason i started listening to death metal this being one of two bands to get me into the genre - don't drag my back in !

  • new singers are great

    and now live shows will kick ass

    new album is gonna be epic

  • Robert isn't bad, but the other singer sounds too power metal-ish.

  • Thats exactly what I was thinking

  • whoa didnt expect that good singers, damn the new album will be good!

  • New singers sound great. Is there a vid we can already see with them in it ?

  • actually I think they should've tested them on the ghost prototype 2 (deus ex machina). it's got really cool parts

  • they chose the two perfect songs from holographic universe to test them with too, lol

    prism and gate, and artificial sun projection

  • What abaut Fear Catalyst?!

  • lol i guess that two but prism and gate and artificial sun projection are also my two favorite songs :D

  • Comment removed

  • Henrik appears to have some form of mullet. i think it is win!

  • he is in solution 45

  • what ever happened to Christian anyways? Did he just quit or what?

  • Look up Miseration

  • Oh-k.. the definition of Miseration is Commiseration - a feeling of sympathy and sorrow for the misfortunes of others. So you still havent answered my question. Why is he no longer the singer?

  • Miseration is the new band he is in, or atleast one of them. He is no longer the singer because, quote Uncquote, They didnt see the same musical genre or area together so they decided to let him go, look it up on there myspace it give more detail on it, but thats the basics.

  • oh I c! Thanx for the info man!

  • its funny how they got 2 singers 2 replace christian

  • yep christian was awesome. could do both deep scream and high pure vocals. just a great singer

  • hahahaha 0:34

  • fan ni äger riktigt hårt!!!!

    lägg aldrig ner... hick* njaahhh schkåål då:=))))

  • Still love Christians voice!

  • Christian Alvestam was way better.

    he did both vocals :/.

  • they say u have to drink alot to scream well

    this is just 2 much xD

  • hahaha, they're all drunk! But well, the new vocalists seem pretty good, thought i really mourn the departure of Christian, he was one (if not the most) versatile vocalist in metal music. However, good luck to the new guys, and long life to Scar Symmetry /,,/ !!

  • I saw them live yesterday they were pretty cool

  • the new growler not bad, but without Christian for the clear vocals, to me its never gonna be quite the same

  • yeah, he made the band what it was.

    one of his new bands, sound xactly the same as scar symmetry. solution .45 it is, i dont know if theres any teasers on youtube yet, but there album looks very promising.

    anyway, i too agree the band wont be the same without him.

  • Wooow! Great respects!

    As I see, Roberth and Lars succeed very well at producting the vocal quality that Christian Alvestam started. The growls are perfect, the clean vocals will need a little more practicing, but I don't doubt that it'll be fantastic!

    And it was nice to see the band members in a little intimate way, too =P

    Mind is the master! MORPHOGENESIS!!!

  • Solution 45 is very similar about genre to Scar Symmetry. Their promo is so good. I can't wait for a new album from Solution 45 and a song that is recorded with these 2 guys from Scar Symmetry. Also hope to see SS on tour and visit Turkey :)

  • Pluss, the vocalist of Solution 45 is former Scar Symmetry vocalist, Christian Alvestam!! :D

  • meh, it doesnt sound that great live in this, i hope they sound better in the studio, i prefered the old singer to these 2 but hopefully they won't disapoint

  • In Swedish the verbs don't get declined, they have a single form for all persons (like "är" for example) everywhere, so most Swedish guys make the mistake of saying things like "does the rules of manifestation apply", or as Jonas said here "they kicks ass". It's very evident in Ohlsson's lyrics. I love this band anyway :)

  • 1:52 The interviewer: "Hello mr Kjellgren, please tell me something about the new singer(-situation?)"

    Jonas: "Yeah, they fucking...basically fucking kicks ass..(paus)..but they can not eat all the chease I have for them"

    Anyone with a better idea of what's being said?

  • no, thats what they said...

  • LOL ))) after what album thry have changed vocalists? on last one of earlier?

  • they havent realeased one with their new guys yet

  • GRKUKNUKK!!

  • they sound cool.

  • Solution .45 takes over

  • wrong. Without Jonas' and Per's songwriting, Christian will be singing well to shitty songs, that's all.

  • correct solution 45 sucks so bad.

  • Solution .45 is actually quite nice, to bad he had to leave tho :(

  • FAIL

  • According to Christian, he wrote 90% of the lyrics and (I think) 60/70 % of the music...

  • I'm not saying that he couldn't, he's very talented. But Jonas and Per simply own at songwriting...

  • Interesting, I heard that Scar Symmetry's lyricist is their drummer, Henrik Ohlsson...

  • Shut up you have no idea what you're talking about, Christian didn't write jack shit of their music, he's the vocalist. And the drummer writes ALL of the lyrics, that's what they actually said dipshit.

  • Well... At their forum he said "since I write about 90 % of the lyrics and 70% of the music, so you will probably recognize a lot from Scar Symmetry in Solution 45" so don't tell me I've got no idea what I'm talking about, since he wrote it himself...

  • No you are misinterpreting what he said and not checking facts like an ignorant fool. He stated, Since I'm responsible for introducing the multi-vocal style in SCAR SYMMETRY, as well as writing like 75% of all the vocal-melodies and 90% of all the growled parts, you will most likely recognize the style and hooks in SOLUTION.45. Growled parts and vocal melodies are not lyrics and music.

  • Yeah so he wrote the shit youre saying, dont you feel played. Actually the percentages of clean and harsh vocals he wrote can obviously be immulated based on how heavy or soft the backing music is. It's the guitarists who are responsible for the technicality and cohesiveness of their music, in the studio diaries you can see them writing the keyboard and synth parts for the songs as well. Christian started a vocal legacy in SS, but it will be continued and completed with their new vocalists.

  • yeh your right the band will still kick ass but it wont be the same with out christian

  • They really should publish a demosong of some sort with the new singers, I still have no total opinion about them, sure the growls sound ok but I fear that Lars's voice is too powermetal-like, Christian's clean vocals are something powermetal-ish but still so unique. All powermetal vocals arent that impressive :(

  • I think they're awesome, though the clean vocalist has a more power metal voice :P

  • THIS SUCKS THIS SUCKS THIS FUCKING SUCKS!!!! Ah well, we still have Christian in Miseration...

  • Do you think they suck vocally, or do they suck because you're an elitist asshole who can't progress with the band?

  • I wasn't saying THEY suck, I was saying that it fuckin sucks that Christian left the band. I've been following Christian Alvestam's career since before Scar Symmetry, and him leaving simply means that I move on as well.

  • Wheres he going now?

    And i thought he was let loose because they couldnt do live tours...

  • WTF why u eaven listening if u just going to whine? Just go away, and stop whineing!

  • christian was far better......the end of s symmetry 4 me....RIP

  • i both agree and disagree

    christian is the best vocalist iv ever heard

    but with these 2 new guys they can explore so much more with vocals

    scar symmetry has gone up a level

    (like they could go much higher) :P

  • doubt that.........RIP

  • these guys rock

    and im glad they have to singers now

    it was almost impossible to replicate scar symmetry's vocal style live (same as sonic syndicate)

  • These guys look okay enough... but still, they needed TWO guys to replace ONE guy. That shows you how stupid they were to lose Christian.

  • Martin Fisher from Fear My Thoughts should have gotten it!

  • i case you guys dont know , christian is in a band called miseration , it fucking rocks! check them out on their myspace page, it starts off fireworks in my dick

  • Fuck these two guys, christian was god, it takes two of these fucks to do what he was doing alone.

  • +sigh+ i miss christian!!! seriously wtf!! if another one of my favorite scandinavian bands breaks up, im flying up there and kicking some fucking kick ass!! it all started with nightwish, then therion and the lastest one ss. grrr.

  • Whoaaaa!!!!! Awesomeeee!! the new guys sounds good! :D

  • In every video these guys are always drunk, or doing some very strange things! And it makes me so sad that Christian is out of the band...

  • yeah! ss will never be the same without him.. anyone know why he left?

  • Christians sining style of mixing growl with clean vocals was really hard to performe live. So they couldn't tour as much as the other members of the bands wanted, and couldn't perform all their songs live. Christian is a sining god, but he was holding SS back from performing live, and I hate him alittle for that....And that's why he left the band or they kicked him out

  • plz tell me this is fake...

  • This is just fucking sad... I will listen to the Cd's instead though...

  • Two new singers? This just proves how talented Christian Älvestam is/was, and fuck anyone who says different.

  • Fuckin right! No one can touch Alvestam's ability!

  • It will be interesting with what they come up with... they won't be as good as Chris though... I'm sure I will still love the band anyway.

  • If I could give you a rating 10 for your comment I would!

  • thanks

  • Christian ability is unbeatable, no one is as good as he is

  • damn right, He was a beast ! lol

  • they killed good parts :[

  • you know, considering how their music is usually mixed, it makes sense to have 2 vocalists.

  • Yeah they fucken...basically fucken kicks ass..Lmao, nice and drunk

  • 1:12 to 1:18 is beautiful, i have faith in the new singers for sure...

  • yeah I agree, almost as good as the old singer, twill be hard to replace the old singer though =[

  • Chris will be missed but live it lacked BAD. But now they have 2 (fucking awesome) singers it will really be an awesome thing live! :) cant wait to see them again!

  • He wasn't "bad" He was actually pretty decent for having to constantly switch between growls and cleans, but yeah, it'll sound a lot less strained now
