      +Pancake Invaders It's sad that people dismiss a band simply because a person left. Who gives a fuck about this guy? He's not in the band anymore. He's not going to be in the band. The last album by Scar Symmetry was the best album they've ever done. It's incredible. It's people like you that think these guys shouldn't have a music career unless they keep the exact same 6 people in the band or whatever.

    • @ibewither5051

      People need to accept change willingly and ready to end their biases there. It's true that this vocalist was incredible, but not unmatched. Bands realize the fact that in order to improve, they need to change.

    • @okami1061
      @okami1061 Před 8 lety +25

      The vocalist is the biggest change you can have in a band. Instruments, can be easily replicated. A voice, however; cannot. When a vocalist is completely OUTSTANDING at screaming, AND singing. You've got someone extremely difficult to replace. Have you heard Christians vocal range? Not just in this song, stuff like "Deus ex machina". Or anything he's done vocals for, for that matter. His screams can go incredibly low! Like, slam/grind low. Yet; he can hit insanely high pitches for cleans. Christian is one of the best in metal man, especially melodeath. Whether it be lows, growls, gutturals, or cleans. There are few who could even come close to replacing him. I see where you're coming from though. The only metalcore band I enjoy, Killswitch Engage (not a fan of the genre). Had an extreme change, with the main vocalist and his replacement. (Jesse Leach and Howard Jones) Yet, I love both. I know it can be annoying, I see "So and so is better", in the comments constantly. People just don't want to let go of eminence. Including myself in this case.

    • @ibewither5051

    "The Illusionist"
    As an outcast I paced defeat
    Seeking comfort in this painful retreat
    Made an oracle against my will
    Word spread of miraculous skills
    Premonitions call my name
    I once doubted them all when they came
    Now I embrace it and I'll never be the same
    Transfixed in the desert sands
    Take a look at my once empty hand
    See the rose that appears so real
    Just like the one you saw in your dreams
    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
    As an outcast I faced defeat
    Seeking comfort in this painful retreat
    Made an oracle against my will
    Word spread of miraculous skills
    Premonitions call my name
    I once doubted them all when they came
    Now I embrace it and I'll never be the same
    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
    Illusionist in everyone
    What I say and what I do was once potential
    Sprung from the infinite place that dictates the seen
    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
    Illusionist in everyone
    In everyone!

    I couldn't agree more, I think deep down I love a good vocal hook that you can sing along to, I don't understand how people can endlessly listen to growls unless they are really varied. At the end of the day, he has one hell of a voice during the clean vocals, and I can't imagine anyone would dislike it.

    I am truly moved by this feat. As curious as the feelings of a millenary saga, far away, more entwined within our hearts. The obscurity of the paths, the thorns and the contrast of life itself. Humans that we are, weak and so sensitive to the point that we can look at the miracle of being able to admire this saga never dreamed of anywhere, here is Earth, our home among the stars
