Cynic - Evolutionary Sleeper

[Sollesnes]

So great

[quantumat]

I just saw them live in LA. 1st gig of their US headline tour. They were amazing!

[souljabarb]

the song really starts at 1:13

[cosmicbass]

Cynic is the best. Can't wait for their US headline tour starting July 2010!

[nukleus4]

that is not the real cynic i remenber cynic back in the day songs like life astray now that was cynic

[spilledinsanity]

@nukleus4

not the REAL cynic. you realize you sound like a hipster?

[mospheric]

yes, these guys are amazingly talented...great band overall...awesome songwriting!

[Ubertron10k]

Is it just me who prefers the solo in this version than the studio?

Lovely song, such talented players

[Tutunum]

Yes, Traced in Air is an awesome piece of work!

[cosmicbass]

Great band...great new album Traced in Air!

[almukabala]

AYE!!! Say true!

[sockpaladin5]

Say thankya.

[quantumat]

I bought this CD and it's amazing from beginning to end!

[grtaabahyd]

no.

[mshydro]

I just pre-ordered the limited edition Traced in Air on Amazon! can't wait!!!!

[CorpseGrinder18]

i needa do that

[metalballs666]

fucking epic

[dronevil12]

grtaabahyd:

go fuck yourself in the arse

[zacre]

what is this shit? they are really good players :)

[MKtagteamer]

I can't fucking wait for 'Traced in Air!' Cynic is such a great band, and after 15 years, I will get my wish of hearing another album from them. Also, I heard they are considering a U.S. tour in early 2009. Let's hope it's true.

[Matzleee]

saw them at Wacken 2 days ago. It was GREAT! They played this one and another new song. I think the new album is coming up in october

[DraconionDevil]

October 27th 2008

[mospheric]

Hey Paul's a chill kinda dude. His music is high energy. The new stuff I've heard kick's some serious ass! I think the new CD's gonna be called Traced in Air. Cynic has some serious fuckin great musicians! I can't wait for the new CD to come out.

[john437]

this song is fucking awesome!!!!!

[calastiur]

Cynic fucking rules! ''Focus'' is a great metal album, just wierd yet funny robot vocals in it.

Can't wait for their new album!

[Eldar21]

really greate song, can't wait to hear all stuff

[rricardo1987]

I heard they are in the process of recording a new album. "Focus" is a tough act to follow; let's see what they make of it.

Does anyone have a bootleg version of the other two songs they recorded for the new album (I believe they are called "Adam's Murmur" and "Integral Birth") ?

[MasamuneAus83]

They should do a Portal tour. That would be great. Wish Cynic came to Australia. We have a band here called Alarum. Very similar but alot better in my personal opinion. Fucken tight.

[fraserpaterson]

Alarum are fucking great. They're recording a new album (or working on the songs, not sure right now). Eventuality was a flawless album. Cynic should get Alarum to open if they ever tour Australia, that would be sick.

[Mrgalaxy]

The new song's fucking great

[thetrueBiskui]

Sounds like he is using a vocoder.

[matia66655]

highly faggish, homo, gay, and douchebag of you to criticize a wonderful song

[BoarandTenia]

Does having said that make you feel accomplished?

"This music doesn't sound like what I like, therefore, it must be impossible for anyone else to enjoy it, and, even if they do, they're misguided. Here's my unnecessary comment, on this thing, because my life won't be complete unless I make a remark on this thing which I'm not being forced to watch." Well, nice work, fucko. I hope that was everything you dreamed of.

[Moorkh]

Well, Boar, i agree with you on what you reply, this is all i think about flamers, myself. But in the same time, wouldn't commenting but such a bore if everybody agreed on everything. Without them pointless flamers, we wouldn't witness such funny answers as yours, for example. Plus, in the end, as we say here "opinions are like assholes, everybody got one". What makes a comment worth being published or not anyway ?

[Rapture928]

Yeah, Paul's not nervous or anything, that's just how he is. Very chill.

[rricardo1987]

Man, they need growling vocals on this song. It wouldn't be Cynic without the growls. Paul Masvidal kinda sounds like one of those stoner hippies.

[lochnarus]

I think they are gonna have Tony T. on the new album...my guess is Jason Gobel is probably going to make an appearance as well as Santiago Dobles and maybe Malone too...I wouldnt be surprised at any of it, maybe even a Holdsworth solo in a song...t'would be groovy.

[rricardo1987]

I wish Tony Choy would rejoin the band. His bass work in Cynic's 1991 demo was the most amazing bass lines I have ever heard, Choy was totally meant to play in that band.

[lodogrinch]

I red in a metal megazine that Tony Choy will play in the new album of Pestilence, an european progressive-death metal band. Their music is similar to the Cynic's one.

[breeze010]

" The singer sounds nervous when he's talking."

lol, paul masvidal fucking rules!! he's not nervous at all lol.

[locustlimb]

lol, I agree, the dude doesn't have a nervous bone in his body. He actually seems relaxed to me. For someone who can play like that in front of thousands, I don't think nervousness is one of his traits.

[EstefanDedalus]

Maybe he was stonned or something :P

I love this new album, It's really really really awesome :)

[vulgardisplayofbass]

Why am I only gettin into Cynic now? Reminds me kinda of porcupine tree at parts

[Noch666]

You're late but you missed only one album & 4 demos.

[linkmaster657]

that was weird...nice...but weird.

[TheFleshStorm]

wow..this isnt even death metal anymore...it's just pushing the boundries of what music is and waht it can be...this is great shit...

not as goood as old cynic or with out the grows..but still better than most shit out today.

[evilaghora]

la raja

[Johal523]

The singer sounds nervous when he's talking.

[aurasmash]

Watch the live video, havent seen a more relaxed frontman

[dariusb23]

he does seem nervous or bit confused. theres an interview with death called "interview with death tampa" he answers slowly and unfocused.

but its not as bad as song videos of cynic live in 1994. he sounds like a zombie

[Oinotnaaa]

Nah, to me he seems just very........ chilled

[xDethbootyx]

or high.

[Oinotnaaa]

haha true that

[JdChirinos]

Why isn't Malone in new Cynic? =( I didn't enjoy your new bass player all that much... Where's Malone at?

[6Deathmetal6pwnage6]

But no Malone :(

[Dabudas]

the kings are back! Really good piece there.

[basolfjeld]

Heey! This is from Hove in Norway!! I was there!! :D

[aldude77777]

tight

[zetoze]

Amazing song...welcome back CYNIC :)

[nauron]

omfg.. it's good !
