Holographic Universe is the third studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Scar Symmetry.
The album is rumoured to be loosely based on Michael Talbot's book The Holographic Universe.
[citation needed] Upon its release, the science-themed Holographic Universe was considered Scar Symmetry's most commercially focused album, with critics drawing comparisons with progressive bands including Dream Theater.
[2][6] Allmusic comments that the band "appears more serious than ever about contrasting super melodic choruses, guitar harmonies, and even intermittent synths, against aesthetic evil twins like furious death metal growls, aggressive riffing, and torrential drumming".
Holographic Universe is also the only album where all the members of the band shared equal credit on writing and composition.
