He is the very best man. How many vocalist can sing that well? A select few. Also do death metal vocals? Next to none. And slap on top the ability to do Brutal Slam style gutturals and the number drops to one.
This album absolutely changed my life. Every single song a masterpiece. Melodic death metal at its very best. Damn I used to play this song back to back. It now reminds me of a pocket of time in my life where I was happiest and I still remember how every day felt like I’d taken ecstasy. In love, great friends, great times. It’s much greyer now and those times are lost. But this song brings the feeling back and the images in my mind for a short time. Thanks S45.
You can search for the scar symmetry video "The Illusionist" live here in youtube. There's one where you can appreciate a little his clean voice, and it sounds amazing too!
How the hell does he have singer/songwriter-esque clean vocals, and flawlessly aggressive growls at the same time? I swear. It's like Christian was made to do this.
I have no idea dude, he can even guttural as he demonstrates on Clandestinity Now and Spirit Side Dreaming. Gutturals are what I do and are extremely hard to do let alone with singing and regular death vocals. He is the most gifted vocalist of all time, and the best in my opinion.
I know Christian gets a lot of credit for his performance in the song but I think it's worth pointing out Jani writes all the stuff in solution 45 and miseration. Anyways, really pumped about the upcoming Miseration album!
Well, for this album, For Aeons Past, Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity) wrote the majority of the lyrics. Maybe thats why this album is the best they have released so far...imo ;)
Great song, i am very sorry that he departed ways with scar symmetry but now i will listen to his new band since he is the thing that made scar symmetry popular!
You should listen to their newer stuff as well, if you haven't already. They have a song called Alter (The Unbearable Weight of Nothing) from the album they brought out in 2015, and it's unreal.
His vocals... He's quite possibly my favourite vocalist of all time. The growls, the screams, the singing, honestly you'd think it was done by three different people. This guy is simply amazing. I'm glad he carried on making music, because honestly, the last SS album with those two douches left me feeling sick.
5/31/24: I am bummed that S45 called it quits this month. I just discovered them last year and really started getting into them in early 2023 and was looking forward to the new album. I love all their albums. Hopefully one of them will revamp the band again someday. Christian’s vocals are awesome. Thanks guys for some amazing tunes.
I was looking forward to them doing more melodeth-metalcore like some songs on the Waking Nightmare albums. Oh well, if they didn't have it in them I wouldn't have liked a half-hearted attempt.
I have been listening to this song and the whole For Aeons Past album for weeks now and can't get tired of it, I try listening to other bands but always come back to Solution.45 they are just too good no other band compares to them, Christians vocals are just on a whole other level..
This track is addictive... whole album is amazing.. At first those melodic vocals been bit difficult to digest but after a while it clicked. Brilliant peace of music!
This song, this band, it is out of perfection, it absolutely blew me away when they released this song and now 3 years later im almost crying to this song!!
I found a band that literally has EVERYTHING I like. Dual Vocal styles, pounding rhythms, great downtuned guitars, synth/orchestra in the background melody, and a double-bass drummer who doesn't blast beat! :D
I have to say this again. This band and song just simply kicks ass. Goddamn what an amazing voice. Christian, if you by chance read this, please know that many people want you to do a tour in America. Please tour America.
Haha, you've got to love when Rolf spins the drumstick and smiles for himself at 4.02 and the fact that he has the sticks upside down the whole time. :P
Currently in my second year of studying astrophysics looking for a topic to talk about in my tutorials. I figured gravitational lensing would be an interesting topic to talk about, so I came onto yt to find some information and...well lets just say this isn't what I expected to find X-D
Nightmares In The Waking State, Part 1 is the new album name. November 20 is the release state then after that, waiting for a bit longer for Nightmares In The Waking State, Part 2
Even more cool to listen to this song after you watched a video about actual gravitational lensing and the 'kaleidoscope' of galaxies' light it makes :OO this song is just brilliant
@LarcDesu I think you're wrong. Chris was with Scar Symmetry until Hologaphic Universe came out, the they departed ways and they have those 2 singers and chris works now in Miseration, Few Against Many, This band, Quest of Aidance, Torchbearer and some othes i don't remember.
the drummer looks like he's having such a great time playing. gotta love when you can see it in the musicians playing amazing music. Solution .45 is better than all the metal bands in america combined. Seriously listened to this CD over 90 times on my ipod since it came out and still love every second of it.
1st time i heard them (today) I thought the same thing. Didn't know Christian was the singer either. Imagine my surprise ! \m/(^_^)\m/ Today is an awesome day !!!! Love this band !!!
This is by fair the most balance song I heard in along time with a nice intro/outro. I have listen to the whole album and picked it up. I say it's worth the $ plus 1 song on the disk is 16 mins long :).
I should agree that SS sounds way different now, but they sound amazing too! I've been listening to TUE in some live videos around and i'm almost sure that the clean vocals would suit more with less "effects" on the recordings. Anyways, both S.45 and SS are great bands.
I thought they will you just make a video, but they already have it !!! the drummer looks so young !!.. fuck it, I love them so much, especially Chris' voices !!!
Be ready in a few weeks cause a announcement will be made and that announcement is the new album[s]. Don't forget that November 20 is where you can get your hands on the first part
+BolFelix The styles are pretty similar. I'd go so far as to say the biggest difference are the vocals. The the way the guitars sound and are used and the way the song is arranged and such are very similar.
In my opinion the vocalists that can match christian's quality and versatility in the growling/clean vocal department are Stu block, Dan swano, mikael akerfeldt, mikkel sandager, and jacob Hansen to name a few that i can think of at the moment. I know Jacob Hansen doesn't scream or growl but he's an amazing clean vocalist.
Ya esta subtitulada esta gran canción en mi canal, por si gustan. Sorry por el spam, pero bien merecido se lo tenía este pedazo de tema que tanto nos gusta. :D
This Album, I hate to say it, is an absolute masterpiece. This has to be the most underrated metal album of ALL time.
It's criminal how underrated this album is
Preach brother, preach!
True
@@djurdjixradic4083 Jeste jbt
I know UA-cam is full of hyperbole...but this comment ain't it.
How on earth does this band not reach a million views. It shows how people really do miss out.
So good
Because people think all metal is “Metallica” and they listened to St. Anger and thing metal sucks now. 😂
real. only 545k views in 2024. I found this song 5 years ago and thought it was dope as hell. Didn't realize Solution .45 was slept on by metal fans.
I showed my 14-year-old daughter this and now she has it on repeat She did a deep dive into Christian's work and now she is hooked!
THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alvestam on of the best vocalist in history of metal!!!
He is the very best man. How many vocalist can sing that well? A select few. Also do death metal vocals? Next to none. And slap on top the ability to do Brutal Slam style gutturals and the number drops to one.
Anton Gorbunov ill take matt holt
one of the best ! his voice is so perfect
This album absolutely changed my life. Every single song a masterpiece. Melodic death metal at its very best.
Damn I used to play this song back to back. It now reminds me of a pocket of time in my life where I was happiest and I still remember how every day felt like I’d taken ecstasy. In love, great friends, great times.

***** Because he's GOD!... at least figuratively...
+DarkZeeD vocally...
Because he's Swedish.
except he can't pull this off live at all
I know Christian gets a lot of credit for his performance in the song but I think it's worth pointing out Jani writes all the stuff in solution 45 and miseration.
Anyways, really pumped about the upcoming Miseration album!

Great song, i am very sorry that he departed ways with scar symmetry but now i will listen to his new band since he is the thing that made scar symmetry popular!
His vocal techniques,the growl and the cleans,represent Brutality and Serenity.
The 'For Aeons Past' album blows my mind this year.
You should listen to their newer stuff as well, if you haven't already. They have a song called Alter (The Unbearable Weight of Nothing) from the album they brought out in 2015, and it's unreal.
right? the part after the second refrain is just oh my god...
Most underrated band/vocalist in metal in my opinion
His vocals... He's quite possibly my favourite vocalist of all time. The growls, the screams, the singing, honestly you'd think it was done by three different people. This guy is simply amazing. I'm glad he carried on making music, because honestly, the last SS album with those two douches left me feeling sick.
With you
I bought all the CDs and still listening in 2021
Hopefully they release a new album sometime soon
We need a new Solution .45 album... ASAP!! >
DarkZeeD AGREED
DarkZeeD soon!
November 20 is where we get a new album
+DarkZeeD First single is out.
+DarkZeeD dunno if u already saw it, nightmares in the waking state is out^^

i could listen to this on loop for years and not get bored
Are you still listening?
Still listening? I am.
This track is addictive... whole album is amazing.. At first those melodic vocals been bit difficult to digest but after a while it clicked. Brilliant peace of music!
i typed "gravitational lensing" on you tube to learn more about it for my astronomy final and this is what i get 0.o
I love Christian, he is def on the top of my vocalist list...love Scar Symmetry and Miseration. He is so talented and unique. This is a great album.
This song, this band, it is out of perfection, it absolutely blew me away when they released this song and now 3 years later im almost crying to this song!!
I found a band that literally has EVERYTHING I like. Dual Vocal styles, pounding rhythms, great downtuned guitars, synth/orchestra in the background melody, and a double-bass drummer who doesn't blast beat! :D
По-моему, один из самых недооценены бэндов.)
Как уже писали в комментариях. Полностью их поддерживаю.
Вокалист Бесподобный ❤
100% согласен! Этот альбом шедевр от начала до конца.
Yeah, the drummer is Rolf, he's like, 22 or something. Pretty badass drummer and this song is mind-blowing.
Christian Alvestam is the most talented singer I have ever heard in my entire life.
It's like my Mom making pie - undeniably irresistible!
This album kicks ass from beginning to ending. Christian Alvestam is definitely my favorite vocalist.
Best voice and Melodic Death Metal band ever. Respect from Polish.
I cant stop to listen this band!!!
+Franzk_GM You must have trouble sleeping!
Amazing vocals !!!
Clean Af
Alvestam!
ça rentre en malade...la voix de Christian est surement l'une des plus puissante du métal moderne...j'espère une tournée nord-américaine !
СУПЕР!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
о как было круто слушать когда только вышла эта песня и весь их альбом
The catchiest Metal song of all time!!!
Little late to the party but artificial sun project is a damn catchy metal song!
Can't wait for their new album to drop!
Still listening in 2018 ! This shit is fucking great ! 8 years ago.. my "god" time flies
One of the Best vocals ever.!!
It's about fuckin time real talent is being spread to the masses. At 3:00 the whole world slows down. Speechless every time i listen to this album.
I have to say this again. This band and song just simply kicks ass. Goddamn what an amazing voice. Christian, if you by chance read this, please know that many people want you to do a tour in America. Please tour America.
Sadly, they've called it a day. I was really hoping for a new album. I will forever miss this band and play them LOUD!
Favorite. Song. EVER!
Christian is the finest(I don't mean looks) metal vocalist...PERIOD. He's brilliant!
Come on...you meant finest too :D
Glad to see Christian in a good project. The band is really good!
This band and Scar symmetry are now two of my favortie bands
Former singer of scar symmetry!?🤔
This song kicks ass. Now i actually know what gravitational lensing is. Thanks to these guys
i really love this guy's work!!! hope they release the next album soon!....
Damn this guy is fucking amazing
This is no doubt one of the best songs i have ever heard!!
The ‘as long as I cast the fire’ part is insane. Fuk yeah🤘🏻🔥
Haha, you've got to love when Rolf spins the drumstick and smiles for himself at 4.02 and the fact that he has the sticks upside down the whole time. :P
this = thousand times better than the current scar symmetry.
Oh man I hope we get another album by them, that would be VERY awesome :3
I see no point in comparing the two. I appreiciate and enjoy both.
Currently in my second year of studying astrophysics looking for a topic to talk about in my tutorials. I figured gravitational lensing would be an interesting topic to talk about, so I came onto yt to find some information and...well lets just say this isn't what I expected to find X-D
Off the top of my head i cannot think of another vocalist with a range as large as Christian
How old is that drummer...10?
+TheDeadWinterDead I believe he was around 19 or 20 at the time of recording. He is incredibly skilled.
Rolfe Pilve killer drummer
omg, i just listened two songs of this band and already love it
Nightmares In The Waking State, Part 1 is the new album name. November 20 is the release state then after that, waiting for a bit longer for Nightmares In The Waking State, Part 2
Apparently I'm not the only one in shock that Christian does all the vocals... He has some serious talent
Even more cool to listen to this song after you watched a video about actual gravitational lensing and the 'kaleidoscope' of galaxies' light it makes :OO this song is just brilliant
That cupping though, Christian needs one of those classic styled mics.
@LarcDesu I think you're wrong. Chris was with Scar Symmetry until Hologaphic Universe came out, the they departed ways and they have those 2 singers and chris works now in Miseration, Few Against Many, This band, Quest of Aidance, Torchbearer and some othes i don't remember.
the drummer looks like he's having such a great time playing. gotta love when you can see it in the musicians playing amazing music. Solution .45 is better than all the metal bands in america combined. Seriously listened to this CD over 90 times on my ipod since it came out and still love every second of it.
What a great song, might be my fav of the album!
Arghhhh, can't wait for a new album!
1st time i heard them (today) I thought the same thing. Didn't know Christian was the singer either. Imagine my surprise ! \m/(^_^)\m/ Today is an awesome day !!!! Love this band !!!
christian is so epic, always been a loyal fan of his
This is by fair the most balance song I heard in along time with a nice intro/outro. I have listen to the whole album and picked it up. I say it's worth the $ plus 1 song on the disk is 16 mins long :).
This is how a music video should be.
Solution .45
Se continuar assim vai ficar um dos melhores no estilo!!!
Wow that drum fill 4:17 - 4:19 is killer
easily the best vocalist in the world...
OMFG, it's going to be the best year ever, new album from Solution .45 and Scar Symmetry.
I cant fucking wait!!!!
Awwwwwsome Band ! ........ Ready for more ... Ready for the next Album !
I should agree that SS sounds way different now, but they sound amazing too! I've been listening to TUE in some live videos around and i'm almost sure that the clean vocals would suit more with less "effects" on the recordings.
Anyways, both S.45 and SS are great bands.
I thought they will you just make a video, but they already have it !!!
the drummer looks so young !!.. fuck it, I love them so much, especially Chris' voices !!!
I love this band.I can't stop repeating this song.
I must buy this album...XD
An absolute masterpiece.
Be ready in a few weeks cause a announcement will be made and that announcement is the new album[s]. Don't forget that November 20 is where you can get your hands on the first part
4.32-4:36 is killer man FUCK..love it!...amazing how the vocals changes like that,really gives the song emotion.
Man..Christian Älvestam just can't fail any musical project he chooses to start or be part of. Great fukcing music!!!
So awesome I cant even describe how good this song is!
My favorit song !! Great band... hope to see them live.. !!
EARS. BLOWN. MORE, MORE, MORE!
AWESOME ! ! their first official video!
♥ Solution .45
In my opinion Chris is one of the best vocalists in the world \m/
Makes me think of Soilwork for some reason!
+BolFelix The styles are pretty similar. I'd go so far as to say the biggest difference are the vocals. The the way the guitars sound and are used and the way the song is arranged and such are very similar.
+BolFelix The screams, the cleans, and the keyboard
It's funny you'd say that, since this song's lyrics were written by one of the fathers of melodrath, Mikael Stahne of Dark Tranquility.
me too
Soilwork is Progressive Deathmetal
1 man, 2 voices = Kickass!!
the chorus is so awesome !
@Arcterion guess u should check your connection... works flawless here.
This is honey to our ears
That double kick drum roll at 4:17
Christian Alvestam's signature style: Astro Metal. Lovin' it!
отличная команда, вокал-супер!
i don't care which band christian belongs to, i just want more of this!
What a voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just wow
In my opinion the vocalists that can match christian's quality and versatility in the growling/clean vocal department are Stu block, Dan swano, mikael akerfeldt, mikkel sandager, and jacob Hansen to name a few that i can think of at the moment. I know Jacob Hansen doesn't scream or growl but he's an amazing clean vocalist.
Nice, they're finally actually promoting this fucking album. It deserves the hype.
found that band today and i must say.... GREAT, fantastic, awesome! :D
When Christian joined Solution, i bet he could've replaced over 9,000 singers at once
Ya esta subtitulada esta gran canción en mi canal, por si gustan.
