Scar Symmetry

Pitch Black Progress
Those who call me avatar
Know not what they're looking for
They just feed their flames with miracles
Just so you know
If you bathe within my light
You diminish your own might
The illusionist in everyone

Scar Symmetry! I absolutely love this album. And with 'this album', I mean absolutely every song.

Scar Symmetry is melodic death metal in the vein of Mercenary's later albums (11 Dreams, The Hours That Remain). Thus far they have only released two albums, Pitch Black Progress being the newest and the best in my opinion. The other album is Symmetric In Design.
I can reccomend this album to everyone who likes Melodic Death Metal, the heavier side of Progressive Metal and Power Metal (it's fucking catchy sometimes).
The vocals are great. Deep growl, great clean singing and even some screaming here and there.

Simply put, this album kicks ass, download it now.

Edge of Sanity

Artist: Edge of Sanity
Album: Crimson
Genre: Melodic Death Metal
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/edgeofsanity01

Edge of Sanity pushes the envelope with this release. Crimson is a single track of 40 minutes in length. But this isn't 40 minutes of repetitive riffs. It's almost like it's a compilation of ideas woven together. The song starts out slow, picks up pace, kicks into high gear with catchy riffs, then slows down again for the outro. The song features several guests including Mikael Akerfeldt on backing vocals during one part of the song. My personal favorite section is at about 12:40. For fans of Melodic Death Metal, this album is a staple in anyone's collection.

1. Crimson (40:01)

Mercenary

Artist: Mercenary
Album: 11 Dreams
Genre: Power/Prog ( I think, not sure though...)
Year: 2005

One of my all-time favorite albums. Mercenary is a band that has changed it's style alot of times, but I think I like this one the most. The most interesting thing about this album are the vocals, since there are three vocalists that each do their own part. There are two clean vocalists( one doing the lead, one doing the harmonic part) and one doing the growls and screams. It sounds very well together and gives a very interesting effect.

It's hard to describe how this band sounds like, cause they have such a unique sound. Hear for yourself.
