Note: I give this a 'good' rating rather than a 'great' because of the wasted potential used.
That being said, Scar Symmetry's debut outing is a pretty decent offering to fans of the Melodic Death Metal genre, and maybe a good starting point for listeners trying to get into the style. However, this is far from a great example of the style, but rather a mirror of it. The band's greatest asset here is in vocalist Christian and his rather versatile melodeath voice. The use of backing sythnesizers is a pretty nice touch, but there is a sense on this disc that it could have been so much more. Unfortunately, I think this is probably there best outing to date, and now they've lost Christian...poor band, had so much promise.
