Scar Symmetry -Holographic universe

[4everRock666]

there's a Hungarian dude named Leander who did a cover of Prism and Gate, Check him out!  The Growler is awesome, but the clean singer needs to work on his shit.

[voytenko1992]

christian is not so good as you think . Lars have beautiful voice with a little distortion.

[ExceriusGuitar]

@voytenko1992 Christian's clean technique is way better though.

[shinhu1493]

@voytenko1992 Dont you have listen christian in live, do you?

[Qu3ridity]

Watch this and then say Christian isn't as good 'as we think'.

[Pablo18z]

damn!!!!! I can't understand anything of what are they playing, the sound is bad!!! even tough the sound is bad, the band is awesome!!! hails Scar Symmetry

[UKPatriotsFan]

They need a bigger stage! Still,i love this band!

[TheBighairyballs]

i didnt know it took any skill to head bang to the music's rhythm.

[Devaldus94]

C h r i s t i a n! The Unseen Empire is great, the vocalists kinda at least fit in there, but they shouldn't try to sing Christian's songs, noone can be as metal as mister Alvestam! sad he's gone, but he's on a motherfucking frenzy in like 2390482345 different bands now, gotta love the guy!

[MrJoeyMonster]

Iv never seen such a poor performance of such an epic song by such a talented band (apart from the wannabe vocalists)

It seems like they have made there parts easier just so they can play it.

3.10 makes me cringe.

[BmGeoBm]

i commented on this video 2 yrs ago saying that the clean sounded like a raped cat...and he replied..my face fell and i pissed myself....now, i must admit, he doesn't sound like a raped cat....more like a man being raped when he tries reaching those high notes...

[BmGeoBm]

@BmGeoBm oh wait, it wasn't this, video..i think it was prism and gate..he does sound like a raped cat tehre..

[meiklamak2]

@BmGeoBm ye, it was prism and gate...

[TheDisturbedOne961]

the song is going faster than the recording

[TheDisturbedOne961]

per killed that solo (in a good way)

[NBabovic]

excelent song scruwed up...

when Christian left old Scar Symmetry died with him...

it's useless to add anything else than that little thing, Christian can never be replaced when vocals come to an edge...

[bobofmanycolors]

Is there any high quality videos of Scar Symmetry live with Christian? It seems like every video on youtube is of really low cell phone camera grade picture and sound.

[TheDogofPavlov]

@bobofmanycolors I know I absolutely hate that... I wish they had a few songs from holographic universe with christian somewhere. I can only watch the morphogenesis video so many times....

[SolidMetalRock]

Scar Symmetry died.

[Ub3rSk1llz]

Growler is good, clean vocalist isn't.

[Shredderman186]

@Ub3rSk1llz  totally agree with you

[diegoc2000]

Why does Robert always touch's his hair? lol

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

the tapping part of the solo sounded a little different, did he play some different notes?

[tjf67]

this is my favorite song

[TallonIV776V]

Why do the guys come out when there's still several minutes of instrumental passage left to go? It just makes them look stupid...

[kippo]

Man that singer with the black hair sucks some serious dick.

[paynexkillerAOTF]

*facepalm*

newest lead singers.

[DamenDrummerBarbee]

Christian Alvestam: if u r reading this, SCAR SYMMETRY NEEDS YOU BACK!

[d34dst0rm]

Wow not only does the clean singer doesn't come close to Christian but he also can't headband worth it lol

[SanosLegende]

Is it just me or is the Double base INCREDIBLE inaccuarte and totally lacks accuarcy? But well Henrik writes INCREDIBLE lyrics lol

[jordanzio]

@SanosLegende

i'm hearin that too, in a couple parts you can tell the drumming is way out. might just have been a bad show tho who knows. im seeing these guys against my better judgement in novemeber, not expecting much from the "singers" i just want to see per and jonas tear it up!

[Slashbag69]

5:10 Per's shredding is too intense for the monitors

[Tripticify]

I remember first listening to Holographic universe, the songs vocals gave me chills, along with the very artistic guitar. In this live performance, I am actually kind of sad to see it go down this way. Long live Christian.

[Vicfirth7b]

LOL...Per Burst into smoke and flames during his solo!....btw way...Lars SUCKS!!

[hydra]

@Vicfirth7b couldn't agree more.

[1989gartland]

@PHW I agree man!

[MadMaroProjects]

Wtf its so hilarious when he came in, instantly tak te mic and "headbangs" :D

[Mikezillaguitarguy]

Only problem I have is stage presence... I think the singers are good live singers. Dark Matter was a great CD. However... If I was their singer I'd be going MOTHER FUCKING NUTS! Wind mills and getting the fuck in people's faces. Thats one thing I loved about Christian. When I saw them live at Jaxx in SpringFeild Virginia. I was affraid that if I didn't move around I would be eaten or killed by his growls and hands hahaha. They just gotta move more and go nuts.

[PHW]

Lars's awful headbanging at the beginning ruined the build-up.

[JohnCalanchini]

anybody know what Christian is up to nowadays?

[PHW]

Christian has taken over the Melodeath world with a band called, "Solution .45". They blow new Scar Symmetry to fucking hell. Amazing music.

[shroomhead32]

its was a very bad buissness move to let christian leave

[bradpittsego]

new vocalists flat out SUCK!!!! they look like washed up rockers from the 80's haha and sound like it too

this band is phenomenal but they really made a bad choice getting these TWO guys, there seriously wasnt someone out there who couldnt sing and scream? i would think that there would be tons of people lined up for the job, many with talent. whatever, i still love this band regardless of how crappy the vocalists are

[jswakatsuki]

henrik ohlsson really really has some fast double pedal work, especially in track 2 of symmetric in design.

[Mauhadeeb28]

Weird!!!!! He couldn't even play his own solo anywhere near correctly. Maybe he plays it better when he sits down.

[metalrules2791]

Well on the upside.. those guitarists are just as amazing as they are on the album!

[Slipknotaxes]

crowds dead

[TallonIV776V]

It's not THAT bad, I just think that Lars could stand some more warming up before he goes onstage, that's all.

[HavxHHH]

Its A Damn Shame Christian is Gone

[Seppemann]

Indeed

[ShadowPandamassacre]

I would do ANYTHING to make Christian come back. The clean singer just doesn't cut it, although the other one is alright.

[thehumanabstract00]

if i was scar symmetry, i would have kissed complete ass towards christian and done anything to make him stay

[abominabletreachery]

i think it's pretty funny that ss had to get two new guys to keep up with christian's old work and they still can't even get close.

[diabeticmonkey]

They should stop playing anything from the first 3 albums because the clean guy can't handle the range. Maybe the new stuff will be good live.

[sasuke0531]

i can barely hear the screaming he needs to put his mic volume up

[maljaebul]

wow that crowd's really bad.. bad crowd distract singers and when singers fuck up crowd go even worse

i think the new guys are well enough, but they need more skill to bring the crowd on their side

[endoftheline9]

I think the new vocalists made Per worse.

[9202ah]

Tho their new album is totaly kick ass, and i suppose that the new singers cant handle the vocals that Christian have singed, but tbh i think they will do great when singing songs from their new album with is their own style etc.

Especialy live, going to see their show along with Behemoth in sweden(novemeber) hope i wont regret it:)

[Quantumface]

haha god. what a rad band. but seriously look how awkward the vocalists are during the intro until they actually have lyrics

[ibanez131087]

christian was the best singer !!! now these two asshole make scar symmetry very sucksss in live !!!!! please christian return to scar please !!!! so these to guitar players are amazingggggggggg !!!

[pantera2012]

And how do you know they're assholes?

[NewHorrorfield]

The new singers dissapoint live, I was at this show too, I also spoke to Lars at Graspop. Coolest dude I ever met though.

[BlueEyedFiendSS]

8:15 .

Jonas fucks up!

[RootsOfJarnwid]

The crowd consists of ballsucking 13-year old non metal motherfuckers who dunno what headbanging means.

[mcterryvideo]

it looks stupid that one of them has to stand there while the other one does vocals

[RootsOfJarnwid]

-.-

[affordablenuisance]

I dont think they are bad at all but still holy shit bring bak the other guy!

[sixinchesdownyamum]

yeah i think its a little sad how bad they are at singing what christian did but hopefully stuff of their own is better

[fumancha]

oh my god... this sounds like shit.... in the studio version they are gods!

[fumancha]

fuk u :D

[00m4xime00]

The new growler is actually pretty good.

[BlueEyedFiendSS]

but the clean singer sucks :)

[Goatgruff1313]

yeah their new singers pretty much seem like butt-puppets to me...

[metalrep666]

Sig is right. Christian outdoes two men attempting to do his shit.

[3Help8Me12]

as cool as the music sounds you have to admit the left hand sided singers mosh is just shit :P its not as good as Christians singing but its still decent

[xtheroface]

They just need time to get their foot in man... they still need to find their mosh.. just remember they weren't even properly in the band at this stage... wait for the new album when they can tour with stuff they know inside and out and then see how they go cos right now it might as well be you or me up there singing someone elses songs

[SigroTh]

They don't even reach Christian's socks let alone his voice, I think i'm gonna be realy disapointed

[xtheroface]

they're still nowhere near as impacted by their singer change as sanctity were with their new guy.. they've gone from sounding like a new age testament to a my chemical romance metal cover band

[12JustMe11]

well ok. maybe they aren't that good as christian was (is), but I have to say, I was at this concert, and the sound was terrible @dynamo, we couldn't even hear the support acts that well!, and indeed the live recordings on youtube . . .

at the other side, friend of mine saw them last month again and he said that they were way better than that they were in april here. .

well, how do they call that,

ah, practise makes perfect ^^

[CondAmnedtRAGEdy]

watch?v=zFFPs-HfSfk

Lars and Roberth in studio. They are very good, even as good as Christian Alvestam. The new album Dark Matter Dimensions comes later this year, and from that video, it's very promising!

[oloshipaX]

Folks, remember, this isn't the lineup from their previous three albums. These vocalists replaced the singer from the albums. Christian sang on the album, but the band fired him because of "creative differences." Then they hired these two singers.

[DanSelli88]

Thank God. I just recently got into this band, and this video kind of scared me, making me think this is what they're like live...

[darksaivor]

Solution .45 is christian new band. go to there myspace page.

[Animelovahr]

I don't know. You can never tell the real potential with live recordings on youtube.

So we'll see what happens when the new album arrives.

[BlueEyedFiendSS]

did Christian perform any songs off the new album w/ the band BEFORE the album was released? I know he didn't do so after but I'm curious

[DamageInc0rparat3d]

He did the entire album, he left after it was made

[slashstu]

Think me meant live.

[Painkiller30]

change vocalists ASAP

[ariasacosta]

I GOT SO DISSAPOINTED!! OMG they suck live (NOT EVEN COMPARED with the album version)...

the new vocals suck both.

But i'm sure with some "magic" they will keep releasing such awesome albums

[oloshipaX]

You're right, this doesn't sound good, but that's because the band fired the original vocalist after "Holographic Universe" was made. The two guys here are his replacements.

[MrJoeyMonster]

i wish i hadnt seen this, they play so many parts of it wrong/worse than on the cd, fair enough it is a very technical song to play, but why write it/record it this way then let people down when it comes to play it live

[imbanezwtf]

They actually played it pretty much like the CD version. It's just that the vocalists aren't that good live

[PewPewPawzor]

The vocalists suck compared to Chris. 2vs1 and they still fail.

[Heffer7129]

The new vocalists are pretty good...and the musicians are sick as expected...hell yeah!!!

[cango875]

Wrong...Clean vocals suck.

[byrdsturds]

at least they can head bang better than christian

[SonataFanatica]

Yeah right. What's more important? Mindblowingly awesome vocals or some headband-ability...?

Some people....

[asocaciu]

thats because christian is bald!

[rockdrum88]

I can't believe it.

[hydra]

Thank You!!

[Fiskola]

Thanks for sharing this men! the song is "Holographic Universe" ;)
