I really liked Scar Symmetry on their last couple of albums. Their music combines melodic death metal and some power metal vocals. Their songs are more infectious than the common cold, and their melodies are are almost pop-like. The vocals were always the most amazing thing though because of the singer's ability to shift seemlessly between death metal style growling to power metal soaring melodies.
However, their amazing vocalist recently left the band. He left because he was weary of touring. Therefore the band had to do something very difficult: they had to replace him because the band was becoming popular and making money. The vocal style proved exceedingly difficult to replace. What would they do? Where would they find someone who could replicated their previous vocalist?
They hired two singers. That's right, a power metal singer and a death metal growler.
I don't really have a point here, I just find that really amusing.
