The Scalar Process have proved beyond doubt that they’re a force to be reckoned with when it comes to this style of atmospheric technical death metal. Several songs are now streaming including an official video which have met with a great response. US site Metal Bite premiered the latest one AT THIS LINK.
“The Scalar Process can deliver on all fronts when weaving together their material. Melody, clean transitions and the usual display of instrumental acrobatics come alive when merged with synth and powerful atmospheric backdrops”

French technical death metal band The Scalar Process have put together a sublime full length album imbibing everything great about the style and keeping a human element to not render it too mechanical. This is a highly flamboyant excursion into the realm, brought about with gusto and fervour, exploring various sinuous pathways and atmospheric passages, and leaving a lasting impression at the end of it all. Few albums can pull off this kind of poise and execution, straddling myriad moods and also not meandering long enough to lose momentum; the album remains suitably aggressive without losing the emotive value. This is for fans of bands such as Coexistence on the label, along with genre stalwarts such as The Zenith Passage, Beyond Creation, Archspire and more, upholding the standards and bringing their own to the table. The future is bright for this promising young band whose debut should go down as one of the finest in the genre in recent times.
