Scar Symmetry

Man, i don't know if i'm the only one here: But i fucking LOVE Scar Symmetry....... dunno why. Every time i hear them i like em more, except, at least down here - it's quite rare to find fans of them. Is anyone else here fans of them? And if there are, have you seen them live?

I like them, I don't like them quite as much as I used to, but I do listen to them every now and then

Idk why but I can't get into them for some reason

The clean vocals annoy me alot.

I like them in the way that i don't hate them and I would be glad if i could see them live one day, I won't specially go to a show for them, nor will they ever be in my top list of bands. But you can go worse then them.

I've listened to them... but they obviously didn't really call my attention (I can hardly remember what they were like)

The clean vocals were the reason I got their albums. I saw a video for "The Illusionist" on TV one night, and at first I was like "Okay, this is some pretty solid Melo-Death I guess", and then the clean vocals came in and absolutely blew me away. It's amazing someone can have a growl that (excuse the cliche) brutal, and clean vocals that soulful and passionate. Up their with Mikael Akerfeldt and Tommy Rogers, in my opinion.

I really liked Symmetric In Design. I never got Pitch Black Progress for some reason, even though the tracks I heard on Pandora impressed me greatly.

Agreed, but to me they sound like a weaker version of Dark Age.

For you everything sounds like a weaker version of Dark Age...

They are not bad ...

I love me some Scar Symmetry. I fell in love with them the first time I heard them. Constantly on my list of listens.

I agree that his clean vocals were the selling point for me. It was killer.

I've tried to listen to them just because so many people seem to hate them, but I just ended up being added to that list of people.

Scar Symmetry is teh awesome. The clean vocals arent exactly a selling point, but they add something nice to the music.

That's the reason it got deleted off my hdd.

I remember a friend showed me them, he hardly likes any growled music (only Opeth and stuff like Devildriver and Chimaira) and he enjoyed them. I don't really remember what they were like but I believe I found them rather generic and uninteresting. But then again I'm kind of growing out the Melodeath genre. There are a few stand-out bands but all the new bands sound the same.
