Scar Symmetry-Pitch Black Progress (Release Date:04-21-06) Nuclear Blast Records

Scar Symmetry's new record, "Pitch Black Progress", promises to revive the ever so dwindling sound of classic Swedish death metal. Scar Symmetry's sound combines the traditional death metal growls, with crisp and pleasant singing. The range of singer, Christian Alvertam's voice is admirable, and the band has incredible talent to back him up; comprising of fast drum beats and electrifying guitar work. You can catch them on Europe's Neckbreakers Ball 2006, alongside of Hypocrisy, Soilwork, Amorphis, and One Man Army & the Undead Quartet
