"This band sucks"

What a mature and detailed opinion you have there. On the contrary, Cynic do not suck. They are my favourate band. Paul Masivdal is a fucking beast of a guitarist and Sean Reinart is the best drummer alive in my opinion. I've listened to they're album "Focus", non-stop for a year now. Highly technical, thought-provoking, soulful, skillful, intelligent music. They may not be to your taste. But just because you don't like them doesn't make them bad.

4:52 real fan

@FranLesPaul I'll have to check it out! Like I said, I love their music I just wish they didn't use the vocal effect. I'm sure I'll like it a LOT more if they don't use it on their new stuff

[alvicious]

there is a really shitty band called veil of maya and they sound nothing like this.

[EC66OK]

Wow! FIrst time hearing this band and I'm floored that I've never found them before, and that's from a guy that's played in bands, loved heavy music, has old friends in very successful musical careers and liked to think I knew something about music. These guys have proved me wrong, and the "markets" for fools. I'm not a death growl fan in the least, but this works on a level I've only previously enjoyed in bands like Pain of Salvation and the original thrash band style. I'm sold after one song!!

[FranLesPaul]

@Stigma1990 well, there's no vocal effects on the new ep, and they don't use any when they perform it. i've never seen them live, so I don't know whether they don't use it on other tracks nowadays also.

[Stigma1990]

I love cynic, but I really don't like his vocal effect at all, it just sounds like TPain autotune to me, and I was pretty disappointed that they (as far as I can see) use recordings for the growls. The performances would be 100x better if the vocals (scream/growl) were actually "real" and he laid off the vocal effect occasionally

[derlagokoira]

i wonder if this was an emotional time for paul to perform, it kind of sounds like it when hes singing

@TheAmrator

Just look up Steinberger guitars.

[TheAmrator]

Why doesn't his guitar have a headstock?

@ChainsawVsGod Totally agree, any person who thinks Cynic "suck" just have no knowledge of real music, they certainly are one of the best metal bands around. Creative, interesting and unique. Not to mention, Seam Reinart is a beast of a drummer.

The jazz section of this song is beautiful.
