@CyrusGuitar melodic death metal, similar to opeth in the amazing progression of the song through complex rifts and lyrics.

Paul is dead

The fact i can't find a studio version of How Could I? on youtube either means your music is super rare and special or that you're utterly shite. Really not a fan of you as i was in '93. Maybe stop pandering to the needs of Paul wanting to sing EVERWHERE on the tracks. and ffs bring back the music that made you awesome. I can't work out whether you're referencing Focus or trying to supercede it

@NECROPHOBICMASSACRE the whole Focus, most of Traced in Air, Integral from the "Re-Traced" ep, and even "Cosmos" from Portal. It was quite a night. Epic!

@Tutunum what songs did they play?

Went to Cynic's 2010 US tour 1st concert in LA last night. Amazing. You really appreciate how good these guys are when you see them perform live.
-
actually your wrong. paul did not start technical death metal. that my friend came from chuck schuldiner of death...whom on the human album featured both paul and sean influencing them to create the music you hear off of focus.

Wow, nobody other than Jason can do the outro solo correctly it seems.



If Cynic was a women i would bone her hard then buy her breakfast.

describing cynic as death metal is not doing them justice. Death metal is such a limited genre, cynic were in a league of their own and transcended petty labels. Even 15 years later no one has touched what they achieved on focus. The main reason they were perceived as "death metal" by some people was the fact that they recorded at morrisound and got a typical scott burns metal production. Strip away the chainsaw distortion and trigger kickdrums and they were closer to a fusion band.
