Metal Call-Out is pleased to announce the winner for May's 6 Degrees of Scar Symmetry contest. I'm sure it is no surprise to anyone -- congratulations Hedge Wizard! We'll send you an email to get the needed information and you should get your Solution .45 CD within a couple weeks.

There’s been a lot of chatter recently on the site about Scar Symmetry and Solution .45, their respective merits and shortcomings.  We love the dialogue and getting in there and sparring with you guys, so when I saw Scar Symmetry released a new video I decided to jump on it.  Besides the fact that I know a lot of you will appreciate it, the video also features a cameo from a favorite musician of mine, Hypocrisy’s Peter Tägtgren.  The above video comes from Scar Symmetry’s October 2009 album ‘Dark Matter Dimensions’ and was directed by Denis Goria who also worked on this Hypocrisy video.  There are lots of Scandinavian connections here and it reminded me of the game ‘6 degrees of Kevin Bacon’, which got me thinking about a little contest I think we could have; what says everyone to a round of ‘6 Degrees of Scar Symmetry’?  

I want to hear everyone try to connect Scar Symmetry to a musician or band as different or seemingly unconnected to SS as possible.  Let’s say the best one, to be decided by Sparks and myself, will take home the new Solution .45 album or the new Scar Symmetry album – your choice.  Leave your entry in the comment section and be sure to either register with the site or leave you email address so we can contact you.  Also, feel free to enter as many times as you wish--the contest will close and a winner will be announced on 05/31/10.

The contest has come to a close and congratulations are in order for username MaorHaGeverMeod, who has won himself a box of CDs from Metal Call-Out, featuring Eluveitie's ''Everything Remains...", Dark Tranquillity's "We Are The Void" and more!  Still wondering?  Well this particular riff is Metallica's 'Master of Puppets'.  The fact that a ton of you guys nailed it on the first day with ease tells me that next time we need to try something a little harder, eh?

Special thanks to Mayhem3033 who provided the video for this contest.  If you didn't win, stay tuned, because there are many more contests to come.

It's that time again kids, actually its past that time. What time, you ask? Time to give away more free stuff. This month the guys from Such Vengeance have offered up 2 of their CDs that will go to 2 different winners, along with various other things from around the Metal Callout compound. The drill is basically the same- new and old members need only leave a comment to be entered to win. But this time around we want to encourage some more active discussion, so why don't you head over to our new Ultimate Metal Forum and leave your comment somewhere there. Everyone that comments on the forum, any post will be entered to win. Will posting more help your chances of winning? Well, all I can say about that is, that it certainly wont hurt them...  This contest is open to anyone, from any country (as long as you can receive mail from the US). Good luck to all!
