Scar Symmetry is a band from Avesta, Sweden. They play progressive melodic death metal. Many people say they are similar to Soilwork. Oh come on.... well, ok, you could say they are similar to Soilwork but:
1) They haven't sold out.
2) Their lyrics are genius.
3) Their soloist Per Nilsson is Jesus himself.
4) Their songs don't sound the same, and they have no filler songs whatsoever.
5) Last, but not least, they DO change style, but don't ever sell out (this point is used by fans of sellout bands to defend these). They are the perfect demonstration on how to go more melodic and not to sell out at the same time - an attempt, at which both In Flames and Soilwork have failed miserably.
Scar Symmetry are the new generation of Melodeath. They have come from Avesta to deliver Sweden from mainstream and gayness. They bring the world tidings of hope.

Scar Symmetry's new album, "Dark Matter Dimensions" is scheduled to be released on the 11th of September 2009. It's scientifically proven that it's gonna kick unfathomable amounts of ass.
