  • 2:16 that was random

  • But don't get me wrong I love christian =)

  • Nah Christian wasn't all that good IMO, I prefer the new line-up it's more epic and embracing. I don't know what shows some of you guys went to, but I've seen them 3 nights in a row each song was spot on and sounded amazing, it's hard to get that quality recorded live, but actually being there live tells a different story =)

  • Yes they have a keyboard.

    Dial 12345 and ask for boss metal

  • How do they record the cool synth and keyboards in there songs (Like chorus of Chaosweaver, or intro of Illusionist)

    Is it a usb keyboard or somthing? I wanna do things like it to my own music

  • 2:03 the best thing anybody ever said

  • i like the new singers beter anyways

  • hahahaah so cool video :D

    i laughed so hard at the "studio trick" haha gonna do that in the future :D:D:D

  • 2:05 WTF? Lol

  • Mr. Christian Alvestam is very very better than Lars and Robban together.

    Christian is complete.

  • Personally im doing fine with the new vocalists, they sound powerful and at least we still get to hear christian in solution .45 (which is a pretty bomb band)

    A vocal driven band they are, one singer doesnt make the entire band collectively, respectfully speaking.

    Cant really blame him though, tours are really stressful for many musicians despite the fun they often have

    Dark Matter Dimensions was one of the better albums of last year anyway

  • 2 girls 1 cup XD

  • The ironic thing is, Lars did quite well on this test singing with Prism and Gate, compared to what he presents at gigs.

  • i think it have somthing with hes nerves to do, its much "harder" to sing live then inside a studio;D

  • Hard to tell for me, I've only sung live so far :P

  • christian left because he was selfish.....he didnt want to sing with someone else wich the rest of the band was agree with.....but he was a great singer though......love the new album......new singers fuckin rocks......!! \m/

  • @marcoslipknotgod you mean like he didn't want to sing with Jonas's backing vocals or what?

    I think he just didn't want to tour, because he's not the type to go on tours, he prefers to just record new stuff and play occasional gigs.

  • @marcoslipknotgod.., So what?

    Christian blasts them both to dust. I can totaly imagen why Christian didend whanted a other singer with him. Becouse he was doing it all alone, and so well, that he was unmatcheble. It could have even bin a insult against him. As iff all his hard work wasend enough already.., Christain = SS and will always be. The end

  • @Larzzone01 He's in 8 bands, half of their repertoire cannot be performed live alone, and Christian should have realized this. Hence, the departure was mutual. Stop whining fanboy.

  • @Larzzone01 Agreed. He was the best part of the band imo. They are good now, but their old stuff with christian was just so much better.

  • Shows how good christian was, takes two people to do something that he could do alone.

  • @soulless324 He wouldn't be able to sing Prism and Gate alone live, many other songs either. Nobody would. They replaced him with two guys to be able to do that.

  • @SaturnineXTS

    They kicked him out because he didn't want to tour right away and they did. Many bands don't do doubles, and some just have a bassist or guitarist do the other part of the vocals.

  • Like the new album. But without Christian it just not the same. I never listen to it really cause I just sit their bummed out.

  • they need 2 singers to replace christian thats fucking gay comment christian is scar symmetry

  • lol mega power scream at :43

  • LoL

  • They both sing pretty well O.O

  • damn shame Christian left... but these new dudes are pretty damn good!...they fit the band pretty well

  • SS is better than Iron Maiden

  • Of course they are!

  • OoO!

  • hmm?

  • You people need to get this threw your head. Band members come and go, sometimes Guitars, sometimes Drums, but vocals seem to be the biggest impact. Sure, I'm not going to deny that Christian was an amazing vocalist, but he's left to work with his new band. It was his choice and trusted that the remaining members would decide on the correct replacement.

    If you hate the new vocalists so much, stop listening to Scar Symmetry and wait for Solution .45..

  • until CA decides not to tour with them either lol

  • death singer is really good but the clear voice...i prefer christian bu he's not bad anyway

  • Lars sounds like more of a power metal singer, which i love, because power metal is my favorite genre. CAN'T WAIT!

  • I'm truly scarred of what will come to be with the new album. I'm sure scar symmetry will pull through, but they aren't close to what Christian was.  Check him out in his other bands Miseration and Solution .45.

  • I'm sure that their new stuff will sound fine with these new singers, but I'm sorry, what lars did with artificial sun projection at 1:26 just kills me when I hear it.

  • Too bad thats not Artificial Sun Projection, cuntwhistle

  • Hahahaha Prism And Gate fail !

  • Comment removed

  • maybe we can't wait too much from "dark matter dimensions" after christian's departure, cause his voice was absolutely unique...but scar symmetry are not fool...we hope they won't change the brutal element they had and clean vocals will still be cool...its not only the vocalist making a group awesome...i think solution.47 even with christian, will never become scar symmetry as it was....

  • rob is amazing, but lars is just awful and doesn't compare...

  • =/ scar symmetry have gone power metal, two singers cant come close to half of what christian was

  • Fuck that. The new singers are brutal! Yes, Christian left. Can't do anything about that. If you can't see how awesome the new guys are, then you fail.

  • These to guys are really good :-)

    Looking foreward to the new album October 2nd 2009 :-)

  • Christian is better than bth these guys together, lol. Bring him back!

  • Those two guys can't replace Christian, they suck, Christian singed clean vocal and growled by himself. The guy who sing clean vocal is okay, but the guy growling suck a big one.

  • check the live videos, you'll change your mind pretty fast:P

  • Christian is so much better than this two guys. One sing clean vocal and the other growls, christian did both of those things by himself, they can never get scar symmetry more heavy.

  • yea, new singer seems pretty sick, i do like christian too but hes got a new band too so i guess i'll just follow both bands.

  • NO FUCKIN' MATCH for Christian ... far far away

  • To all those WORSHIPING the ground Christian walks on and saying it requires two to replace him? Um...I'm sorry, but I'd love in concert to hear not only the growls/screams, but the clean vocals from designated singers...not just backups. Like when they were singing before they got wasted...EPIC. Thank you very fucking much.

  • wtf, was that peter tägtgren at 0:28?

  • and yes... my name is magical flying hamster

  • ok fuck all you people masterbating to christian, hes obviously a fag for whatever reasons unknown. the band wants cool people who kick ass, not someone whos cool but is full of himself or whatever reason it may be. this band is awesome and ill dig the next album for sure. this band will still kick ass, christian is a fool to have fucked up what this band stands for...

  • I agree. Why do so many people have Christian's back over the band. Christian didn't make the music and im sure these new guys will be just as good. Christian is really full of himself for those that don't know.

  • Haha I can't get enough of this. I love the new vocalists. This vid owns : D

  • "but they cannot eat all the cheese I have for them"

    Jonas is fucking hilarious

  • this band without christian will become an ordinary band, just the same like any other band with dual vocalists, clean and harshed. indivdually each of the new SS members are pretty inspid.

  • The fact that matters is that they got TWO singers to replace Christian. That shows how GREAT he is!

    Mister Alvestam, we await your Solution .45 soon!:D

  • I have to agree with that.

    Solution .45 should be awesome.

  • Completely false. They didn't want 2 singers at the time, Christian left because the band wanted to tour right away and he didn't, he wanted to work on his side project AS WELL AS let the record get some sales under its belt so they could correctly fund the tour. I've been to several of scar symmetry's shows and have asked about it. They parted and called upon the "Creative differences" excuse.

    Sure, Christian was selfish, but he was the best vocalist these guys could have had.

  • @kickstart06 I disagree about him being the best vocalist they could've had the new clean vocalist ( i don't remember the name) has much better vocals and the new screamer is much better as well

  • @SuperBigDrummerBoy You've never seen either line up live, have you?

    Christian is the ONLY vocalist for this band.

    Both of their new vocalists struggle when it's not in a studio, why do you think these people take so long to make a new album? Because any more than one song a day for either of these mooks and they're spent... Christian would record the whole album in a matter of 2-3 days, Not saying that faster is better, Im saying that these two get their sound by spacing it out, and that

  • @SuperBigDrummerBoy doesn't make show sales, or satisfaction very successful. Regardless of any of these facts, Christian has a much more full voice in both accounts, Heavy, and soft. Christian is renowned for his ability to switch seemlessy between vocal styles and stay consistent. I've seen Roberth, and Lars do their thing live, and they struggle so hard to switch between their vocal roles, as well as have any sort of stage presence, and they're dripping with sweat after the first song...

  • @SuperBigDrummerBoy sorry for making such a long winded reply, but Christian is one of the best vocalists out there, am I a huge fan? Sure, of his work. But Christian seems like a prick, so I wouldn't stick up for him, but his work is JUST THAT GOOD.  Roberth and Lars can't compare, hence why it took TWO of them to replace Christian... Bands these days don't have two vocalists unless they're horrible...Let's make a checklist...

    Linkin Park, Check.

    Lacuna Coil, Check.

    Oh and Scar Symmetry, Check

  • @kickstart06 1. Linkin Park had two vocalists in the beginning and they are one of the best bands out there also they don't always have two vocalists every song and Mike is more of back up vocalist except on in the end it's also their style. 2. I see now u can't compare Lars with Christians clean vocals because they are too different but you can with Roberth and Christian's fact is they both sound similar on the they're death growl vocals but not with the Screams. Why? Continued....

  • @kickstart06 Because Christian doesn't have any screams.I haven't heard a song with him screaming . The only difference you can tell between Roberth's and Christian's death growl vocals is that Christian's is more raspy and when christian was in the band they only made 1 single on two different albums with the two new vocalists they got 4 singles with just one album they are much better and the reason they don't perform as well is because some can get in front of audiences better than others

  • @kickstart06 and u also need a lot of guts to get up in front of audience where if you mess up they might boo you off the stage i kno because i've done it and i handle it pretty well they also didn't take two to replace christian they both do heavy and clean vocals one was just better than the other so the band decided to add both of them

  • WHY are they talking about 2girls1cup?

  • The new singer is really good, almost as good as Christian... The new screamer is pretty badass too but I personally think he's unnecessary, since one of their guitarists used to do the backing growls and could probably take over all of them.

  • The new singers are lames...!! Christian Ãlvestam will be genius!!! Christian is better singer than new singers

  • I love that guys... period

  • Wow what a sad display of talent. If these guys were half way serious they might still be good. Chrisrian is probably better off with miseration and solution . 45 WTF is right.

  • You think christian was more serius ?

  • i think that without christian in band i have to agree with you

  • The singers got a good voice, i dont mind him.

    The growler is typical, sounds like any growler.

  • 2 girls 1 cup lmao. Hope these guys do well and I hope Christians new band is just as kick ass.

  • I totally agree with Pehc.

  • Christian is in a new band Solution .45. They sound awesome. They will be recording their debut album in fall 2009. Check them out. Also, to me it kind of sounds like one of the new singers has too much power metal influence in his vocals. Just saying

  • hahahahahaha 0:32

    and christian is also in another band called miseration... pretty good!!

  • they ae fuckin great singers......i think its good some changes around....lets see what they have for the fans......

  • Always crushing when bands (are forced to) change their vocalist(s). Even though I don't think it'll come close to Christian's brilliance, I'm definitely curious about a new album sometime soon...

  • I have to agree, they aren't half bad..

    But compaired to Christian who did it all by himself, they're not so gr8..

  • wasn't terrible...im curious to see what christian is going to do...i hope he gets a solo project going

  • yes, live continues...good luck!

  • i am so dissipointed i fought that it woud sound good. But it is true Christan was 50% of the band sorry

  • But, but there is two of them! I'm sure they fill the 50% right? Each one 25% ;)

  • well i think it will work out, i mean, can do more stuff in a way with two singers, like growls over singing, but tbh, Christian ruled! shame he left the band =[

  • Comment removed

  • eh the same ok tho christian was the best...for this band lest see what the future holds...

  • what the fuck happened to christian the singer for the first two albums

  • the growls sound the same but the clean vocals are still good but idk.. it is always better to have a singer who can do both and make is sound awesome..

  • I thought they were going to be much worse than this because thres not many who have a similar voice to Christian, but Lars does a good job!

  • nice, its gonna work out better.

  • 2:34 King Diamond Fans!!!!

  • 1:29 Fuckin great!

  • A tip:

    Be drunk when watching this....get's much more funnier than!! That is guaranteed.

    ps. you have to be enough drunk

  • Comment removed

  • kool vid

  • The growler is fucking brutal dude.

  • Atleast they look the part.

  • I was nervous if they are going to be good. They are ok and I approve.

  • Alvestam was better than both of them put together. Look they had to find a vocalist that can growl, and one that can be clean, alvestam had so much talent they could not find another one just like him. He and Howard of KSE are the best singers in melodic metal.

  • KSE is not melodic metal, even if I do like metalcore. And I don't know, Howard don't sound that good live, Jesse Leach (the former vocalist of KSE) is much better, have a good scream and a killer clean voice (just listen to the chorus of Temple from the Within)

  • indeed!! kinda sad that it takes two to replace one guy. guess we will have to wait for a new album to get the full effect but i am not too optimistic. christian pls come back

  • Ok but Christian can't do both voices simultaneously live like these guys can. I think it will be best for the live shows.

  • Maybe best for the live shows. But, scar symmetry is a band where they are not known for their live acts. This is a good recording studio band, and since christian left it will be a huge blow to their sound. Christian is talented. You should do your best to hold on to those kind of people who can get the job done. Turns out, not too many other people can.

  • 2 girls 1 cup xD

  • "They fuckin' basically kicks ass... yeah but they cannot eat all the cheese I have for them" Hahahaaaa

  • listen to the music in the background music at 1:56

  • christian was such an awesome vocalist. this will be pretty interesting but i think they can pull this off :P

  • Roberth is awesome, very nice guy! And sings so fucking good.

  • that's one brutal vocal double team!

  • Believe it or not....despite them losing christian...I'm actually looking forward to this...

  • They're good, I'm happy.

  • Lars Lerta is better than Alvestam.

  • Roberth is a beast! He kinda reminds me of the vocalist of Amon Amarth. And Lars reminds me of Stu Block from Into Eternity.

  • metal yeah

  • the growler was AMAZING but i'm worried about the clean singer; sure, it's fine to have a unique style but save that for newer material, RECREATE past songs as well as you can. the cover at 1:29 sounds nothing like christian and kinda ... kills it. i'm disappointed, but hey let's hope i'm wrong. lmao

  • they had to get 2 singers to match their old one

  • 3 months ago*

  • I posted a comment here 3 months wheh this was new saying this guy were really bad compared to Christian... I got some replies saying they were better... now go and look at their first live concerts on Spain and tell me if you still support your ideas!

    LOL

  • I checked out that video. Horrible quality and obnoxious fans singing aside, I thought they both sounded awesome. Roberth is an awesome growler, and Lars' voice reminds me a bit of Mats Levin. It's way too early for another album, but they need to release an EP or something with some live tracks and maybe a couple new studio tracks with Lars and Roberth.

  • 2 guys to replace 1.....  Just watch out cuz I think Christian is gonna make a band VERY happy and they will be big too.. These guys dont sound too bad at all tho! As close as can be..

  • hey im saying this to anyone who liked scar symmetry befor christian left. try the band MISERATION he is the vocalist and its realy heavy. the bands underground right now but you can buy the first CD called your demons-there angels on there myspace or there label website

  • wow they went for 2 of them but they sound awesome anyways \m/

  • ill say it again, i think they sound awesome

  • The clean vocalist isn't too bad, but the growls sound nothing like they need to for the music. That and they're awful.

    What a shame... the band will probably go down hill from here. :(

  • I like the new vocalists personally...their different, and honestly I don't think they'll ever be able to replace Christian, but the new vocalists do a good job...I'm looking forward to heaering the stuff they do with SS.

  • Also in a quick thought 'I wish them the best, but 2 vocalist rarely ever work, i really really hope they work, scar symmetry is such a kick ass band! ' think of Sonic Syndicate, Twin Method, Nightwish, Linkin Park, Sevendust etc etc ;)

  • I cant stop watching the video lol, hilarious!

    as for the new singers, well of course they wont sound like Christian but they do sound very good, and they are long term friends anyway i do believe so it's unlikely that they'll disagree with things.

  • The growls sound alright I guess. The clean singing just makes me go eh... But I can't judge until I hear them in a full song, prefferably just the full version of Prism and Gate.

  • so far i think they couldve done better with the clean vocals guy but the guy who does the growls is pretty good

  • I wish them the best, but 2 vocalist rarely ever work, i really really hope they work, scar symmetry is such a kick ass band!

  • Congratulations to them finding replacements for Christian. I'm going to miss him being in the band because he was friggin amazing bu these two are not bad at all. Looking forward to the next album.

  • I really don't know what to say about the new vocalists.....I'd have to hear them in an album. To answer some questions, yes, it was Christian who was singing in the album Holographic Universe. It was his last album with Scar Symmetry.=( But I'm still curious to hear the new guys clearly.

  • Fan det låter ju ganska bra gubbs! Älskar eran musik och vad ni än gör lär det väl bli bra. Har sedan jag upptäckte er någon gång för ett halvår sen suttit och knarkat eran musik XD

  • I think Christian's new band is called "Solution .45"...meaning that he had 45 ways to continue singing after leaving Scar Symmetry...lol

  • what were all the reasons? lol

  • what was that for a gay strat guitar

  • nooooooooooooooooo......please­ noooooo.... :°°°°

    Chuck

  • So... Christian did sing on Holographic Universe... Right? I was pretty sure that it was his voice on the album, and then I watched this video, and was so confused. These new singers don't hold a candle to Christian.

  • Yea it was Christian....Shame he's gone!!!

  • They kicked christian because he never wanted to play live.

  • I know. he played live a few times. every once and a while he will play but he thinks its a waste of time. he like to make music a lot more then going on tour as we can see. its sucks tho i wish i could have saw them with Christian live. guess i'll just hope for one of his other 6 bands to tour.

  • DIe Jungs sind schon die hardden Boys... Hören sich sau gut zusammen an . Aber bedenkt bitte, dass was die beiden hier veranstalten ( was sehr sehr gut ist) hat Christian ALLEINE gemacht ;-) Ich hoffe, das Scar nicht von ihrer Masche abkommen. ALlerdings hoffe ich eher auf Solution 45 ;P SChönen ABend noch ;)

  • these guys are fucking awesome

    shame that christian's new band is nowhere as good as scar symmetry though

    oh well, the show must go on!

  • what is christians new band??

  • Solution .45

  • We'll see what it sounds like in a couple years when they put out a new CD. Christian will be hard to replace

  • very very hard. that dude isn't human.

  • I like the guy doing the gutural voices. Not so much the other one.

  • me too

  • Just shows how good Christian was... TWO guys can't even replicate the sounds from ONE man...

  • Youre so fuckin right! These men just try to be like Christian, nothing else. They dont't have the feeling of Christian, they just want to do their best on each side. Sorry, Scar Symmetry won't be what it used to be anymore...

  • Your name definetly suits your comment.

  • God, I'd hate to see what happened to Mnemic happen to these guys. Just when they are getting attention, new singer(s), shitty new sound.

  • Hell... I fucking hate this... Christian was all of it!!!

    These guys may be good, but they are nothing, and NOTHING, against Christian, he's really a killer vocalist. He's got the best fucking growl ever, and the best powerful clean voice I've ever heard!

    This is a time to never be forgotten...

    Hail Christian Alvestam!!!

  • That dude's death vocals seem pretty decent... perhaps maybe better than christian's... but they'll never replace his clean singing ha

  • Wow... Lars is pretty damn good though. These guys are going to make a killer combination.

  • You must be joking, man!! how the hell can you compare what does this guy to Christian? Christian does any voice you want! Both guys can't cover his specter of voices! But in spite of all the bad news, fortunately, we have a solution.......45!!!
