Former Scar Symmetry vocalist Christian Älvestam has left said band to focus more on his other project, Miseration. Miseration is also a melodic death metal band, like Scar Symmetry, only they take a more straightforward approach rather than a technical/progressive one. The band's debut album Your Demons ~ Their Angels may satisfy fans of melo-death but their overall sound is kind of generic compared to Scar Symmetry. Alvestam still has one of the best vocal ranges in metal and still shows it on this album, but I feel that Miseration sound like just another melodic death band that don't really stretch any boundaries. Not to say this is a bad thing, as Your Demons ~ Their Angels is a solid and straightforward metal album that I'm sure many will enjoy.
