THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME IN 2015
Hey guys, Per Nilsson here! I hope you have survived the holidays and that you're all off to a great 2015. I just wanted to check in with a quick update to let you know what's going on in the Scar Symmetry camp!
One of us is having a kid soon, which is why we've decided to not tour until the fall at the earliest, though we might do some of them summer festivals this year. In the meanwhile, me and Henrik will be hard at work writing 'The Singularity (Phase II - The Force Awakens)'. We're nowhere near having a release date, but as usual you'll read it here (facebook) first!
Star Wars soundtrack? :D
This is incorrect, yes Per did say that on Facebook but in the comment section he admitted that the title was a joke and the real title would be announced later this year. Given that the upcoming Star Wars movie is called The Force Awakens you can see the joke.
Good one, I thought it wasn’t intentional :D
Per one of their Facebook post responses: “We wanted to do a Peter Jackson and release the trilogy phases annually, but for different reasons it’s taken longer than we anticipated :) We’ve been working on Phase II for a long time now, all the songs are written and most of it is recorded, there’s some overdubs and solos left plus the mixing, so we’re hoping for an early 2017 release” – September 4th, 2016
Anyone know what the status of this album is? Seems like no news or posts from their Facebook since beginning of April.. I figured it would be released by May
FYI, per Per on one of their Facebook posts on 4/28/2018: “Thank you for your patience! The album is like 80% done, the plan now is that I’ll continue work on the album after the Summer tour I’m doing with Meshuggah. The last couple of years have been very busy for me and to be honest, after 10+ years with Scar Symmetry it was nice doing some other things for a bit. I’m REALLY looking forward to getting Phase II out though :D Cheers /Per “
This is never coming out lol…
