SCAR SYMMETRY Performs With New Vocalists For First Time; Video Available

December 24, 2008

Fan-filmed video footage of Swedish melodic death metallers SCAR SYMMETRY performing the song "The Illusionist" on December 5, 2008 at Sala Zero in Tarragona, Spain can be viewed below.

Commented the band: "A big thank you to Jordi/STIGIA and José/Doomed Events for making our mini-tour in Spain a wonderful time, and cheers to everyone that came to the shows! We will come back to Spain for sure!

"It was a pleasure sharing the stage with [new SCAR SYMMETRY singers] Rob [Roberth Karlsson] and Lars [Palmqvist] for the first time. These guys really know how to put on a show! We did some songs we've never done live before, like 'Holographic Universe', 'Pitch Black Progress', 'Deviate From The Form', 'Prism And Gate' and 'Artificial Sun Projection'."

SCAR SYMMETRY parted ways with singer Christian Älvestam earlier in the 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."

SCAR SYMMETRY's latest album, "Holographic Universe", registered the following first-week chart positions in Europe:

Finland: #37
UK: #39 (Indie chart)
Austria: #65
Germany: #68

In the U.S., the CD 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.

An e-card for the CD is available at this location.
