Good review, album's a pisstake. You do a good job of highlighting the weaknesses of the album and the band, despite the 'melo death isn't what it used to be'-general-Sputnik-qq for every album in the vein of that genre. Good to see you refrain from excessive Alvestam cockriding, but the growls really aren't bad.

The cleans could be more passionate, but they're not that bad.

I must say after their dismal release of Dark Matter Dimensions, I found this album to be a great improvement.

I'm listening on youtube, it doesn't sound as boring as the previous album. Holographic Universe and Symmetric in Design were both pretty cool though.

Nah they used to be pretty good. Of course, I haven't listened to this, or the last album because of the negativity surrounding it, but I'm sure they do suck now.

Musically the album is awesome but pitch black progress is their best album ,mainly because the unseen emipire has some bad lyrics like holographic universe they insist on singing bad lyrics . Here is an example (And you sense

But you fear what lies beneath, triumph or defeat

I'm both and none

Hear when I say: the godless pray,

the sacred lose faith and leaders are all enslaved

I will admit Holographic Universe was pretty decent other than that I haven't been impressed.

This review feels like it's judging the band unfairly:

'However, Scar Symmetry kicked Christian out of the band in 2008' (pretty sure his departure was mutual)

'The growler sounds like every monotonous low growler to enter the metal genre' (does the reviewer even listen to Metal with low growled vocals? (if he did he'd notice not all sound the same))

'so that way they can fool their fans time and again into thinking that they release something new and different just for some more money.'

And just the general ranty nature.

However, I do like the DT comparison at the beginning.

Ok, Sputnik really puzzles me. How is Scar Symmetry generic and unorginal? How does their every song sound the same? You guys obviously haven't listened to Mors Principium Est, ha.

Hawks, listen to this fucking album. If you liked their first three, this album contains flavors from all of them throughout. Plus what was good from the last release. Sounds closest to Pitch Black Progress, though.

Eh I've only heard all of Holographic Universe and I didn't think it was anything too special. Good, but nothing I'd keep coming back to. Probably not gonna listen to this.
