Solution .45 - For Aeons Past (2010)

Introducing Scar Symmetry 2.0 since the first one is now a failure. More progressive, but still retains the Melodic Death Metal tag. Lyrics can be crappy, but the music itself is great thus being one of my favorite albums this year.

1. The Close Beyond
2. Gravitational Lensing
3. Through Night-Kingdomed Gates
4. For Aeons Past
5. Lethean Tears
6. Bladed Vaults
7. Wirethrone
8. On Embered Fields Adust
9. Into Shadow
10. Clandestinity Now
11. Spirit Side Dreaming (Bonus Track)
