Per Nilsson: Scar Symmetry announce new album trilogy



SCAR SYMMETRY ANNOUNCES CONCEPT ALBUM TRILOGY: 'THE SINGULARITY'

Last year, Henrik approached me with this super cool lyrical concept, that was so complex and vast in scope that we realized it was a story that couldn't be told in just one album. So, the decision was made: instead of writing a new album, we started working on a trilogy of albums - the most ambitious project of our career.

The first of the three albums is called 'The Singularity (phase I: Neohumanity)'

"In the coming decades we will see the rise of artificial intelligence and transhumanism. Humanity will build artilects (artificial intellects) with mental capacities far above the human level of thought. By the year 2030, one of the world's biggest industries will be "artificial brains," used to control artilects that will be genuinely intelligent and useful. Millions of people will be prepared to spend more money on an artilect than on a car.
