Ok. They aren't good.

So I guess my magic square stuff was right. If only I could figure out the starting position for the bigger squares, this would be solved.

I feel like Psychotic Waltz deserve a spot on this list. While Focus would probably make it into my top 10 list of prog metal albums, I'm not sure Cynic is a top 10 band just because of that one release.

I don't think they really play anything old except Fragile Dreams on a regular basis.

Psychotic Waltz Arch/Matheos maudlin of the Well

Favorites: The Perfect Element and One Hour By the Concrete Lake Least Favorites: Probably Road Salt 1 & 2 although they aren't bad or anything, just inconsistent. I'd say Remedy Lane and The Perfect Element are the best albums for "beginners", then I advise moving on to Entropia, BE...

8 years of the same setlist

We are all nanners.

The album was remastered 6 years ago; I don't think this is necessary. The remaster sounds great and I can't see them recapturing much of the energy that made Ecliptica a great album after 15 years and with only two band members left from the original session.

Oh, and regarding the Greek words. I think it was meant to be a clue to use Greek and not Hebrew Gematria for part of the puzzle, but I never really got anywhere with that. That was the only explanation I could come up with.

The squiggles in a corner mean to count the number multiple times, two bumps = count it twice. Sorry for omitting this.

The idea I had was each number inscribed in the sigil was a line number in the lyrics (you'll notice they're all numbered in the booklet), and the first word of each of those numbered lines would form the message.

I had myself convinced that this was the answer at first too, until I tried to do the last two and ran into the same problems. What I tried next, however, was a lot more promising. Saturn, Mars, Mercury, and Luna not only correspond to the tree of life, but also to magic squares. You can see...

I worked on the puzzle for a long time and I recall reading Mu used interchangeably with 93 while doing some research. Maybe someone from the band can confirm whether this is the case or not.

I have a ton, so I'll just list the rare ones: Crimson Glory - Transcendence tour shirt Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian and The Spectre Within tour shirts Angra - Angels Cry, Holy Land, and Fireworks tour shirts Helloween - Keepers 1 and 2 tour shirts Evergrey - The Dark Discovery shirt...
