Does anyone else miss Christian Ävestam's vocals in Scar Symmetry? I know Sparks does, and you can read his near riot-inducing review of Scar Symmetry’s latest, sans-Christian album here.  Come May 11th, fans can once again enjoy the unique vocal stylings of Ävestam, because his side-project turned only-project Solution .45 will finally release their much anticipated record ‘For Aeons Past’.  I got a chance to sit down and listen to ‘For Aeons Past’ today and I think it will live up to the hype the previously released teaser tracks started. 

Solution .45 boasts a star studded cast with members of Miseration, Essence of Sorrow, Hateform, Angel Blank and of course ex-Scar Symmetry. In addition, the one and only Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, no big deal) contributed lyrics and backing vocals to the new record. ‘For Aeons Past’ will be available through AFM records starting May 11 but if you are reading this from Europe you probably already know this release date does not apply to you as the album has been out almost a month there already.  (Lucky bastards.)

Last year, we offered the track ‘Clandestiny Now’ for streaming, you can still hear that here.  A few months ago we offered the track ‘Gravitational Lensing’ for downloading to our members and you can still download that here if you haven't already.  (You will need to register for the site and login for the ‘download’ button to appear, but it takes 30 seconds.  Literally.)  Finally, in the spirit of sharing, we offer to you the track ‘Wirethrone’, streaming above.  While it’s not quite a full album stream, we're providing 30% of it. :) Enjoy. 

Solution .45 has released a brand new song available to download for anyone or anywho.  The song is called Gravitational Lensing and will be featured on their 2010 album "For Aeons Past".  The lyrics were written by Mikael Stanne, from Dark Tranquility. The album will also feature Christian Alvestam on vocals, formerly from Scar Symmetry and Jani Stefanovic from Miseration.

For those who are Christian Älvestam fans (aka Scar Symmetry Vocalist fans), here is some good news.  Solution .45 is a new melodic death metal band that has been getting an album ready the early 2010 year.  This song "Clandestinity Now" is a preview or demo of what you can expect from their anticipated album.
