Cynic finalizing mixing for new album

[Matt]

^That's fucking gay

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

I like a bit of Cynic, great when you're in the mood for some less brutal metal..."Celestial Voyage" is a cracking tune. I'll deffo give their new one a listen when its out.

^ That song up there could do with less vocoder, though.

 

[The Ozzman]

The vocoder is awesome

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

Its certainly cool, but I dunno if I like a whole song of it. Its their music though.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I will only bother with it if it sounds like their demos, which I bet it won't.

This is a good post.

that song was pretty decent...it'd be better with...you know...regular clean vocals (or really awesome deep growls but whatever)

 

[Belligerent]

Unfortunately the new material seems to still have them

The music is stellar, but I'm not sure If those vocals could grow on me or not.

 

[Gold]

im only a minute into it and im shitting my pants..

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

That new song is NOT death metal (though they've never really been anyway, cept maybe the demos).

 

[Belligerent]

It has a Katatonia-feel to it.

 

[Gold]

the start of it sounds kinda like hells bells hahah

 

[panzerfaust666]

he got banned roughly a tenth as much as me, which is a lot

who the fuck were you/ are you?

 

[Hatebreeder]

I like the vocoder thing; it's unique. I actually like the "clean" vocals on Focus better than the growls, which were thoroughly mediocre and sounded like every other band from that era. Without the combination, though, it might not have been as memorable and fascinating an album.

@panzerfaust: It's Tom from the UK/ Alternately, a German viking named Olaf.:zombie:

He's a cool guy with good taste.

On various message boards he went by GoD(Gallantry over Docility), Moon of Amber, Sacraphobic, fates warning 666 and I'm sure many other handles I'll never for the life of me remember.

 

[no country for old wainds]

how the fuck do you remember that olaf thing dude seriously

 

[~Neurotica]

bahaha!

 

[rms]

OLAF! METAL FACE!

There's also a video on youtube with two songs from a promo sent out this year with the songs "Integral Birth" and "Adam's Murmur"

I wish Cynic would get rid of their vocals.

Actually, I'd much rather see another Gordian Knot album before I see another Cynic album.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

im glad they are still using the growl vocals, this should be an interesting album to look forward to in the near future.
