Scar Symmetry have posted a new track, "Morphogenesis", on their MySpace page.
Some of you may have seen me raving (eh Raven? ) about this band in the year 2006, when their second album came out. Since their new album (called "Holographic Universe") will come out next month (June 20th), it's a good occasion to introduce them (again).
Scar Symmetry is a very talented band from Sweden.
They play powerful, melodic, catchy(!), groovy and at times dark sounding, progressive and pretty technical metal. The vocalist grunts, screams and also does the clean vocals. The guitarists play both lead and sometimes you can hear some harmonies which should appeal to Maiden fans. The rhythm section underneath really kicks major ass, putting the right accents and drive in every song. This band is gifted with good songwriting. The drummer and the vocalist do the majority of the lyrics and both guitar players are responsible for most of the music. I can confidently say that this is the most promising band I've heard in years. The older bands from Scandinavia have to work harder to keep up with the quality work of Scar Symmetry. I feel a New Wave Of Scandinavian Heavy Metal coming up!
Would someone help me with analyzing (some of) the lyrics of this new track Morphogenesis? What I can hear sounds damn interesting:
(bridge)
Thoughts that force discordance away
Once more the mirror is fading
Whatever dreams will reach into claim
Inside’s the path we are taking
(chorus)
Gone forever
We are done the world is mechanical
None shall ever
Be a slave to thoughts inside their heads
Thanks in advance!
