      I remember checking out bands back in... 04? Maybe before, and came across soilwork.. I downloaded like 3 songs and bought every album they had released up till then. I got everything on my old iPod and everytime I go on a road trip soilwork comes out.
      Later found scar symmetry maybe around 2011/12? And I was just blown away by the guitar work. Artificial sun project is still probably my fav song from them just hits everything perfectly.
      Both bands are extremely underrated

    What a great interview Ola. Per is a truly excellent musician and a really lovely guy. I’ve been a fan of Scar Symmetry from pretty much the beginning and it’s awesome to have them back. Incidentally I’ve just taken delivery of all the vinyl rereleases and the new album is on preorder. And you’re right Ola, DON’T go down the vinyl rabbit hole. It genuinely does become an addiction. I’ve been a collector for years and I’m almost at full capacity here at home in terms of where to store them. I need a bigger house.😬 Thanks again Ola and Per.

    I was lucky enough to see him play with Scar Symmetry in Umeå, opening for Orbit Culture and Halo Effect and of course Meshuggah, which was weird seeing Fredrik without his long hair but with a huge beard instead. On stage you could really see Per enjoy what he does, just go into a sort of other realm while playing but at the same time have an amazing stage presence and connection to the audience. I have barely played guitar compared to anyone else but he really do inspire me at least improve somewhat or as much as I can.
    Much love Per and of course, Ola aswell

    Listening to a new Scar Symmetry album I realized that this "northern music" was, it still is and most probably will be completely different musical universe than the rest of the world.. very unique attitude to composition, weird hybrid scales etc. no matter the genre (especially notable is the scandinavian jazz scene btw)! I wondered if Per is influenced also by Extol, because I heard their harmonic signature many times on the album, but it may be a coincidence and I may be completely wrong.. anyway best wishes to Per, really inspirational guy and iconic, unique guitar player....also amazing interview Ola, thank you :)
