Scar Symmetry recently shot a video for the first single, 'Noumenon And Phenomenon', off their new album Dark Matter Dimensions, which is out today in Europe via Nuclear Blast Records.

The video, shot by LEGION OF THE DAMNED's very own Maurice Swinkels, will be made available online soon.

"We're pleased to announce that the video for the song 'Noumenon And Phenomenon', shot in early September this year, is coming together nicely. The director, Maurice Swinkels, is currently editing it and from what we've seen he's doing a damn fine job! We shot the video at two locations here in Sweden, the first one was basically a photo studio and the second location was... get ready now... an abandoned and haunted insane asylum!“ – Henrik Ohlsson

"Was great meeting up with the Scar Symmetry guys again since I produced their very first, one of the 'The Illusionist' videos as well. We had 2 locations, one was shot with greenscreen, one was an old mental hospital which was actually near the studio of Peter Tägtgren! Very cool!" – Maurice Swinkels

As previously reported, the band made Dark Matter Dimensions available for streaming online at their MySpace page.

Dark Matter Dimensions will be released on October 20th (North America) via Nuclear Blast Records.

The song 'Noumenon And Phenomenon' was released as digital download single on September 18th including 'Nonhuman Era'.
