Tack så mycket Rockbladet.se 👍🏻🙌🏻🔥🇸🇪

Scar Symmetry vocalist Lars Palmqvist releasing a new album tomorrow on Christmas Eve!

Lars Palmqvist, also known as one of the two lead vocalists in Swedish progressive melodeath band Scar Symmetry, is releasing music of his own this December.

The concept album ”Path Of Doom” takes us back to the viking age telling
a story of a man that loses his whole family in a brutal attack and that is now walking the path of revenge – the path of doom. The album consists of 10 tracks embracing folk and pagan elements as well as leaning towards beautiful catchy melodies.

”I have always been interested in different cultural environments, past times and surroundings and have composed music inspired by history already before this release. This time I wanted to focus on norse mythology and write a musical story of a man living in the viking age. All in all the emotional journey of this man is something we all could relate to. The rage roaring through him as a consequence of losing all he loved and the need to make those suffer that had hurt his family.. That kind of pain has no limits in time. ”Path Of Doom” is a story of a man and his pain, and in the end his release”, Palmqvist comments.

”Path Of Doom” is out digitally on Spotify and Youtube
on December 24th, 2024.

TRACKLIST:

1.The Awakening
2.Times Of Survival
3.The Silence Of The Dark Night
4.Until My Day Comes
5.Judgement Day
6.Healed By You
7.Out There Alone
8.The Light In The Darkness
9.The Final Path
10.Eternity And You

Lars Palmquist från Scar Symmetry släpper nytt soloalbum - Path To Doom.
Konceptalbumet Path Of Doom tar oss tillbaka till vikingatiden och en berättelse om en man som förlorar hela sin familj i en brutal attack.

See you in May Munich! Scar Symmetry

Into the Spotlight: SCAR SYMMETRY 💥

Formed in 2004 with the idea to express a fresh yet heavy form of catchy Death Metal without any boundaries, Scar Symmetry clearly left a mark in the scene over the past two decades. By building up their songs on mighty synth layers, backed up with complex but groovy rhythms and a vigorous dual vocal attack on top, their music comes along brutal and accessible at the same time.

With legendary guitar wizard Per Nilsson as driving force, whose outstanding playing set new benchmarks in the world of shredding, they perfectly blend mind blowing riffs with virtuoso soloing, fascinating Metal fans all over the world.

Scar Symmetry will join us from Sweden to close Prog Metal Mania 2025 with a blast! So here's YOUR chance to catch them live in Munich for the first time in 12 years - Horns up! 🤘

New album ’Path Of Doom’ by Lars Palmqvist to be released digitally on Spotify on December 24, 2024.

’He went to the forest to hear the whispers of his ancestors, to find clearance of his own existence within the vastness of the unknown. By the fire he sat head hanging low, trying to hold on to everything he had to let go. What could put out the fire in a man? Deprive the last spark - everything that makes the man ’a man’? The wind howled both in the trees and within his heart. Drowning, sinking, torn apart. Solitude had never been as painful before. But as loving someone can be eternal, there was a sudden peace in all the turbulence. He could hear the whispers despite the raging storm - a calm healing voice of someone he once knew. The nature gives no mercy yet it offers us everything our souls need to find release.’

Tracklist:
1. The Awakening
2. Times Of Survival
3. The Silence Of The Dark Night
4. Until My Day Comes
5. Judgement Day
6. Headled By You
7. Out Here Alone
8. The Light In The Darkness
9. The Final Path
10. Eternity And You

BIG NEWS! ❤️

SCAR SYMMETRY ANNOUNCES NEW LINEUP

We regret to announce the departure of our drummer, lyricist and founding member Henrik Olsson and our guitarist Benjamin Ellis.

This year it's been 20 years since Henrik, Jonas and I formed Scar Symmetry. Little did we know when we recorded the demo for the song Seeds of Rebellion that it would sow the seeds for a two-decade long progressive melodeath journey that has taken us to places beyond our wildest dreams. We created seven Scar Symmetry albums together that we are immensely proud of, and Henrik's drumming and awe-inspiring lyrics have played a big part in our enduring success.

Due to family reasons, Henrik couldn't join us when we returned to the stages post-covid in 2022 and he has been sitting out all shows since. He has now made the decision to leave the band to continue to focus on his family as well as on other musical endeavours. While we will continue to miss him dearly – we did our last show with him in 2019 – we do understand and respect his decision. We are so grateful for the creativity, passion and energy that Henrik has fueled the band with and we wish him nothing but the very best as he moves on to the next chapter of his life and career.

After a couple of tours as a session player, Benjamin joined the band in 2016 and toured with us up until the end of 2022. A consummate professional, Benjamin's live performances were immaculate, as were the guitar solos he contributed to last year's release, our comeback album The Singularity (Phase II – Xenotaph). Benjamin has been working on some seriously delicious music of his own for years now and the time has come for him to step down from Scar Symmetry and to reveal his future musical plans. We thank him for his hard work and dedication and we are looking forward to following him on his continued journeys.

So, without further ado... Let's present the new guys!

It is our utmost pleasure and honor to welcome Lawrence Dinamarca into the band! Lawrence is a real drummer's drummer; he was hand-picked by Henrik to take over the live duties in 2022 and has been touring with us ever since. This tornado of a drummer has played with bands like Nightrage, Carnal Forge, Manticora and Loch Vostok in the past and the fierceness of his playing is in stark contrast with his gentle personality!

Let's set the scene for our next introduction: a couple of years back, I went to a Devin Townsend show and was blown away by the guitarist in his band, a Mancunian guitar phenomenon who was celebrating his 35th birthday that very day! After the show, at the bar, we were introduced to each other and I immediately broke out in song, singing ”HAPPY BIRTHDAY” at the top of my lungs, getting the help of a loosely assembled choir consisting of other people from the touring party as well as random bar patrons. Our birthday boy was surprised but probably not as surprised as when I called him up, about a year later, asking him to start touring with us. It is our honor and utmost pleasure to welcome mr Stephen Platt into the fold!

Please give Lawrence and Stephen a very warm welcome as well as your best wishes for Henrik and Benjamin!

Love,

Per and Scar Symmetry
