In the wake of the announcement, band mastermindPer NilssoncommentsIt brings us the utmost pleasure and pride to announce the long-awaited and much-teased Phase II to the world along with its first single! Its been a long time coming but Im glad that we went the extra mile to make everything as perfect as we felt it needed to be.The world is a different place in 2023 than it was in 2014 when Neohumanity was released We see the rise of AI before our very eyes and while we all look in awe at the wonders it can create it is easy to think of some very disturbing scenarios. In our new album, we once again explore these themes of neohumanity, artificial intelligence and the technological singularity from a dystopian point of view.The AI-enhanced neohumans are waging war upon the unmodified majority of mankind who dont stand a chance against their technologically superior oppressors, until one day, a glimmer of salvation appears in the night sky. Almost impossible to first take in; as an utterly alien mirage, seemingly out of nowhere mysterious, giant spacecrafts silently emerge from the heavens.

Travelers both intergalactic and interdimensional, these ultraterrestrial beings who have been watching mankind for millennia seem to have decided to not sit idle while the technocalyptic cybergeddon is ravaging our planet.We recently renewed our vows with Nuclear Blast and were very thrilled about moving on to this next phase (ahem) of our career with them by our side!The Phase II touring cycle starts today and fittingly, we begin with a tour supporting my former employers Meshuggah! We hope to see you all on the road soon, but until then, heres Scorched Quadrant!

Formed in Sweden in 2004,SCAR SYMMETRYwere a unique proposition from the start. Although clearly owing a debt to the pioneering melodic death metal bands of the 90s, guitaristPer Nilssonand his comrades were walking their own evolutionary path.

As showcased on 2005 debutSymmetric In Design, the band were driven by fervently progressive and proudly melodic instincts, infusing their often brutal riffs and arrangements with wild, futuristic atmospherics, and sublime, emotional melodies that always hit their targets with ruthless precision.

AsSCAR SYMMETRYmoved forward, their music continued to evolve in tandem. They joined forces withNuclear Blast Recordsfor 2006s breakthrough opusPitch Black Progress(2006), and have since amassed an extraordinary catalogue of forward-thinking but irrevocably crushing modern metal.

From the glossy, hyper-melodic barrage ofHolographic Universe(2008), to the immaculate thunder ofThe Unseen Empire(2011) and the astonishing, cosmic odyssey that isThe Singularity (Phase I Neohumanity)(2014). the Swedes have blown minds and enhanced their reputation with every artistic step.
