    This album is absolutely stellar. The more I listen to it, the more it sounds like a celebration of Pitch Black Progress in many ways. I love how dark, mysterious this beast sounds, it's dripping with atmosphere. You feel a sense of hope with the most beautiful melodies Scar Symmetry has written, and yet that darkness keeps hurling back at you like a monster in deep space. 10/10. AOTY.

    I am glad now as an adult i can afford my car with bose stereo system in it. I first heard holographic universe and pitch black progress in my fathers ML320 with bose speakers. The bass was insane in those albums. Yesterday i jammed overworld as my first song to shuffle through the album. I couldn't stop smiling. It's like scar symmetry gave me that nostalgia of being with my father again.

      I got my older daughter into metal, she and I love all of the Scar Symmetry albums. I bought Xenotaph on CD, and I've been jamming it in my car which also has a very nice sound system. I kept on harassing my daughter until she also purchased the album! Sent me a screenshot of her playing Soulscanner on Father's day, which is my favorite song on the album

    I like how the clean vocals are set inside the music rather than way over top like power metal. It keeps the clean parts a little heavier sounding.

      Try Before The Dawn or his newest project Wolfheart. Both are amazing. Nightrage first couple albums are killer as well. They feature the At the Gates vocalist. Gotta love the old Arch Enemy albums with Johan and Angela’s albums were great too. Don’t really care for their newer vocalist. I love Soilwork though, I have every vinyl of theirs and this band is great too, I like Holographic Universe the best which seems to be a lot of peoples favorites.

    After listening maybe a dozen times to each song, I love all of them above and beyond anything they have ever made before.
    These songs have played in my mind more than they've played through my headphones these past two weeks! I've been transformed into a machine that only plays Scar Symmetry.
    Something makes me feel like this album has a lot in common with Symmetric In Design, like it's the same species that has evolved for millions of years.

    I've been waiting nearly 9 years for this album. So many things have happened in my life during this time. It feels uncanny, the timing of it, with its power and beauty locked in harmony as I grow in the world.
    This album brings vivid imagery unlike any before, including hollographic universe. The moments of funk, though brief at times, linger with affect. Perilously, we make gains against the AI that reigns. The battfield is defined while the gridworm sneaks behind enemy lines. Signs of autonomy reappear, but history repeats itself.
    Thank you Scar Symmetry.

    Lyrics (part I):
    Chrononautilus (0:00):
    Spawned by newborn gods
    Who view the flesh and bones as stepping stones
    Towards greater deeds
    That lie in wait beyond
    Endeavor to sever the binding ties that hold
    A locust swarm beckons the invasion of the soul
    This will inspire fear, yet they cower in vain
    Their negation of elation, so bizarre (lead them to this light of ours)
    Behind the curtains that divide
    They lead the masses to apparent light
    Thoughts of concern never return, the altergeist instated
    Pumped pre-programmed thoughts
    The saturated systems overthrown
    An invasive creed
    That dictates choice for none
    The dreaded embedded inside these programmed thoughts
    Will focus the questions in direction of our cause
    Behind the curtains that divide
    Leading the masses to apparent light
    Thoughts of concern never return, the altergeist instated
    Once it is done, altered world view
    Neural design to mechanize
    But there is hope, a shadow descends
    Chrononautilus
    This will inspire fear, yet they cower in vain
    Their negation of elation, so bizarre (lead them to this light of ours)
    Behind the curtains that divide
    Leading the masses to apparent light
    Thoughts of concern never return, the altergeist instated
    Once it is done, altered world view
    Neural design to mechanize
    But there is hope, a shadow descends
    Chrononautilus
    Fate will favor those few choices cleansed from fear
    Inward woe dim the blazing stars, blacking out the sun
    Night will fall on us, rejoicing world in tears
    And our foe points to the reason we came to this present state
    Forms block the sun
    Sheer daymare
    Objects spewed from infinity
    Reality shivering, the colors fade
    Released from skies that seem to sigh
    With consolation
    Discarding the beliefs, their pre-programmed thoughts
    Continue charge, aim for control
    Infernal tactics fail-safe, nanotech spores
    The outcome in uncertainty
    Behind the curtains that divide
    Leading the masses to apparent light
    Thoughts of concern sure to return, the altergeist negated
    Once it is done, altered world view
    Neural design brought to its demise
    Liberation, the shadow descends
    Chrononautilus

    Scorched Quadrant (05:00):
    Now gaze at this ashen world
    A declaration of defeat
    Awaiting the final strike
    Drones will spearhead the descent
    Dive down to the barren ground
    Search for survivors in the filth and grime
    Drones search high and low
    Above and below
    Exterminators without remorse or guilt
    From scanning satellites
    We're guided out of sight
    As furious shapes emerge
    Discovered targets die
    Our way the wicked's coming
    Drones deployed to destroy
    Now observing out of sight
    Scanners pick up human scent
    Errors as they calculate
    Inconclusive
    Inferno upon the earth
    Besieged scorched quadrant set ablaze
    The machines deployed
    Craft sent to destroy
    Determination ignited their circuits
    From scanning satellites
    We're guided out of sight
    As furious shapes emerge
    Discovered targets die
    Our way the wicked's coming
    Drones deployed to destroy
    Carrion of disease, causing certain mutation
    Suffer those who survived
    Politics of the tech generation
    Forced, I slowly will become
    A born transgressor
    To restore what still remains
    An example to alternate the platforms of war
    I have seen a vision
    The source undefined
    I find myself immersed in conversation with the sky
    Guided to the catacombs
    By a coming race
    From scanning satellites
    We're guided out of sight
    As furious shapes emerge
    Discovered targets die
    Our way the wicked's coming
    Drones deployed to destroy
    The quadrant burning bright
    Scorned stands the sheltered site
    Victorious grueling scourge
    Those guided out of sight
    Await the great undoing and avoid their downfall
    Carrion of disease, causing certain mutation
    Suffer those who survived
    Politics of the tech generation
    ---
    Overworld (10:09):
    They gave to the condemned, a symphony of plotted lies
    A fictional reality drawn from misleading facts
    This recreated world, a prophecy realized
    Events were synchronized behind an intricate disguise
    Intuition left ignored
    Freed from its buried state it will ascend
    Radiant waves align and flow from a veiled overworld
    Activate alien traits divine, to certain minds transferred
    As knowledge lost descends, words now appear between the lines
    What was in hiding, held unseen, brought forth through conscious acts
    A message masked, unheard, keeping the power centralized
    The herd disorganized, the masses desensitized
    Intuition left ignored
    Freed from its buried state it will ascend
    Radiant waves align and flow from a veiled overworld
    Activate alien traits divine, to certain minds transferred
    Parallel advanced dimensions yearning for the stars
    Solved the riddle of creation's equation
    On through the stargates in migration to see another sun
    Set the stage for man's creation, birth arranged
    Freed from its buried state it will ascend
    Radiant waves align and flow from a veiled overworld
    Activate alien traits divine, to certain minds transferred
    ---
    Altergeist (13:58):
    Stand and face the altergeist
    Victims of forced awakening
    For your natural state is flawed
    Taste the wisdom within induced second sight
    Neophytes are shining transformed
    Finding their purpose as slaves
    Connections set to the main processor
    Selves sacrificed for the sake of the whole
    Unmodified, you are beings condemned
    Kneel and unite with our doctrine, anti-cosmic at its core
    Drained of all profound insight
    Relieved from stored reasoning
    Smart nanotech in the blood
    That send signals and redirect every thought
    Neophytes are shining transformed
    Finding their purpose as slaves
    A synthetic riptide of altered biology
    Behold the altergeist
    Now inject advanced respirocytes
    Sent to invade through the blood
    Biocide, a synthetic riptide
    The neural pathways torn apart
    Body parts and organs replaced by materials dead
    Our creations of altered biology
    Supreme shapeshifting majesty
    We are here to obey
    Cells communicate, voices in the shadows
    Aim to annihilate the chakra of the heart
    Connections set to the main processor
    Selves sacrificed for the sake of the whole
    Unmodified, you are beings condemned
    Kneel and unite with our doctrine, anti-cosmic at its core
    Now inject advanced respirocytes
    Sent to invade through the blood
    Biocide, a synthetic riptide
    The neural pathways torn apart
    Body parts and organs replaced by materials dead
    Our creations of altered biology
    ---
    Reichsfall (20:12):
    Witness a gathering, planetary signs
    Rising for ruthless reckoning, disobey the desensitized tide
    As a redeemer of the nations disrupt the judgement day plot
    Their dominion's widening denied
    Uncrowned, leading the lost
    Priming the oversoul, directed awakening
    Guidance that will ignite, synapses afire
    A cautionary journey and outcome
    Carrying the weight of what's been done
    Invite the dire harbinger, foreboding our destiny
    Uproar in restless skies
    Another chapter to unfold
    Warfare is simmering, predatory hives
    Crown of deceivers stand defied
    Corrupted thoughts aligned - dehumanized
    Rising to overthrow, predicted foreshadowing
    Guidance that will ignite the system afire
    Benign the dawn that rises to guide
    Promethean insight divine
    A cautionary journey and outcome
    Carrying the weight of what's been done
    Invite the dire harbinger, foreboding our destiny
    Confront the royal blood
    Military overlords
    The automatons of authority, march high on synthetic adrenaline
    All are guilty 'til proven slaves, it's time to rise
    Rising to overthrow, directed awakening
    Guidance that will ignite the system afire
    A cautionary journey and outcome
    Carrying the weight of what's been done
    Invite the dire harbinger foreboding our destiny
    A visionary turning of the tide
    Burying the fear of what will come
    Inverting dire consequence, dictating the remedy
    Uproar in restless skies
    Another chapter to unfold
    It's time to rise!
    ---
    Digiphrenia Dawn (25:26):
    Primed to accelerate, advancement will escalate
    Bow before emergent times, the digiphrenia dawn
    If you turn off the machinery, you turn off our hearts, our souls
    Nothing but circuitry remains
    With the soul in control
    Find rebirth in the splendor of new paradigms on earth
    A vision of mankind renewed, sprung from a tainted mind
    Inventors are measured through their inventions (digiphrenia dawn)
    Primed, born to dominate, this world is ours to devour
    Crush the divergеnt tide through dense conspiracy
    Whеn they are one with the circuitry, we decide their line of thought
    Nothing but compliance is left
    With the soul in control
    Find rebirth in the splendor of new paradigms on earth
    Deep within conviction, there's a force that moves the earth below and sky above
    It's burning with ambition, strive to realize the visions of a song unsung
    A vision of mankind renewed, sprung from a tainted mind
    Inventors are measured through their inventions (digiphrenia dawn)
    An ulterior motive lurked in our actions, the plan relied on your naivete
    Slavery introduced in most blatant ways and still you bow and beg for more
    A plan conceived, prepared for aeons, that lead us to this dawn
    With the passing of the seasons we molded a slave state
    You all believed our fictious reasons and aimed for a mirage
    You enabled the completion of your disgraceful fate
    Your will disintegrates and our agenda stands empowered
    Through unnatural selection
    With the soul in control
    Find rebirth in the splendor of new paradigms on earth
    A vision of mankind renewed, sprung from a tainted mind
    Inventors are measured through their inventions (digiphrenia dawn)
    Deep within conviction, there's a force that moves the earth below and sky above
    It's burning with ambition, strive to realize the visions of a song unsung

    Excellent album. Just fascinating. Another epic Scar Symmetry spectacle.
    After multiple listens, I feel happy to report that "Chrononautilus", "Scorched Quadrant", "Overworld", "Altergeist", "Reichsfall" and "Xenotaph" all are amongst my most favorite Scar Symmetry songs now.
    You gentlemen just keep evolving - and I'm very eager to witness what kind of graceful beast Phase III is going to be, now that Scar Symmetry is blessed with the force of two absolutely phenomenal guitar players.
    I also really like the story of "Phase II", as I am certain that the true neohuman will not be the product of cybernetic augmentations and synthetic biology, but rather emerge naturally as the result of consciousness (/spiritual) evolution and a life-respecting, sane, advanced socio-economic system that operates for the benefit of all humanity, not just for the fortunate few at the top of the pyramid.
    Sending you much love ❤

Every single second is just so packed with energy, variety, interesting riffs, sounddesign and just amazing musicianship in general it's mindblowing. After mostly leaving metal behind for a while and so much time passing, i never thought i would see a new Scar Symmetry album again. And just when i get the random urge to check out old favourite bands almost 10 years later this pops up.

    The album is stellar. It flows wonderfully and the density of the songs means they get better with every listen. Sick riffs, great melodies, incredible solos, crushing drums, some of the best clean and dirty vocals in the SS catalogue, it’s catchy, progressive, technically impressive, brutal and beautiful. 10/10 masterpiece of progressive melodic death metal. Per is one of the best kept secrets in the guitar sphere. His work in SS, Kaipa, Zierler and other projects demonstrates that virtuosity and musicality are not mutually exclusive but in fact two facets of achieving greatness.

    Hey guys. I am so grateful to you guys. When I had a bad time myself, your album Pitch Black In Progress was my absolute favorite album.
    Now I'm 41 and I know about your musical achievement. I find your solos super, the songwiring terrific and the jumps between the modes just fat.
    I've always been waiting for your albums and you've always been able to step it up a notch.
    I never managed to see you live until now. Either I had to play myself, I was drunk, or otherwise prevented.
    Now the world is in a state of flux and I don't think there will be gigs for much longer, the semi-professional musician league is being dismantled more and more, there are almost no clubs anymore and the eco-climamist will unfortunately wipe out our guild of art.
    Maybe we will still see each other somewhere in this universe.

    I've had your music in my ears since I met my first girlfriend 17 years ago. I met her on the same day I was introduced to you guys. I remember her fondly, but only my relationship with Scar Symmetry lasted. I'm going to leave a few of my thoughts on my first listen here.
    I love what you've done with the vocals!
    Chrononautilus aligns perfectly with my brain. I once had it on repeat an entire workday and it only improved my focus.
    Scorched Quadrant made me sad.
    Overworld made me happy. Very happy. The chorus gives me chills every time. It may be my new favorite.
    Altergeist is so many new things I can't tell how I feel. On the first listen I made many surprised facial expressions. It's very interesting!
    Reichsfall has hypnotized me with its rhythms, especially guitar.
    Digiphrenia Dawn gives me nostalgic feelings of your previous songs but I can't point to any songs. It's like I remember a song of yours that doesn't exist?
    Hyperborean Plains... I don't know how I feel yet.
    Gridworm I can not explain. It gives me an alien feeling that I will have to explore. The guitar work is remarkable.
    A Voyage With Tailed Meteors sounds like Dimmu Borgir snuck into the recording studio. Very refreshing and different! It still has that Scar Symmetry feel.
    Soulscanner gives me serious Holographic Universe feels. And then Symmetric In Design feels. And a little Dark Matter Dimensions. And a little something else. I love it.
    Xenotaph made me say "oh my god" out loud. That doesn't happen often. What is this chorus? No way. How do you do this? My jaw is hanging open throughout this one. I have no words. Absolute gods of metal the lot of you.
    This whole album feels like the essence of Scar Symmetry. If I'm recommending you guys to someone, this is the album. I'll go listen to it 200 times now. Thank you for making life more interesting!

    I've been a fan on this band since 2004, Symmetric in Design. You guys are always on my rotation for music and I got my oldest brother into you guys as well, he absolutely loves you guys. Sharing the experience of listening to this album for the first time with him is something I will never forget. This album gives me so much emotion and nonstop goosebumps. You guys continue to grow and Improve with every single album l. This one knocked it absolutely out of the park. Every single song is memorable and the atmosphere is both hopeless feeling and beautiful at the same time. This could be my album of the decade to be quite honest. I'm already on my fifth listen and I can't get enough. Such an amazingly talented band and still criminally underrated in my book. Keep up the amazing work and I hope to one day see you guys live. 🤘🤘

    Production sounds really good, and musically you're once again pushing the boundaries of melodeath.
    So far, ”Reichsfall” is my favorite, followed closely by ”Altergeist”. The thematic work on those 2 songs is ace. The singles are also still going strong.
    Similar to others aforementioned, tracks 8 through 10 lose me a bit, while the title-track takes me home, again. Still can't believe, I made it to the choir as one of the participants.
    Great work overall, looking forward for the Phase III!
