SCAR SYMMETRY: New Audio Interview With JONAS KJELLGREN Posted Online

November 5, 2009

Sarjoo Devani of the Explicitly Intense web site recently conducted an interview with guitarist Jonas Kjellgren of Swedish progressive melodic death metallers SCAR SYMMETRY. The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.

SCAR SYMMETRY's latest album, "Dark Matter Dimensions", came out on October 2 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The song "Noumenon & Phenomenon" was released as a digital download single on September 18, backed by "Nonhuman Era".

For "Dark Matter Dimensions", SCAR SYMMETRY wanted "more of an in-your-face and organic-sounding album this time around, and I think we managed to create an album like that," drummer Henrik Ohlsson told AOL's Noisecreep. "We kind of lost some of the edge and aggression on the previous album and now we've taken it all back! I mean, we've kept all the key ingredients of our sound on 'Dark Matter Dimensions', but we've taken it all one step further by writing better songs than ever and bringing in some cool stuff that you haven't heard before in SCAR SYMMETRY."

SCAR SYMMETRY parted ways with singer Christian Älvestam last year due to "business and creative differences and lack of interpersonal chemistry." The band explained at the time, "We came to a point where the band's existence was in jeopardy because of these differences, and the only way for us to continue with an inspired state of mind was to go through with this change in the lineup."

Christian has since been replaced by Roberth Karlsson (lead growl vocals and backing clean vocals) and Lars Palmqvist (lead clean vocals and backing growl vocals).

SCAR SYMMETRY's previous album, "Holographic Universe", debuted at No. 33 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
