has anyone here heard of cynic? they are currently touring with meshuggah and wow are they good

 

[Omie Jay]

ive heard of cynic, they were mentioned earlier in this thread, whats a good album from them? I'll downoad it and check it out.

 

[Absolutezero]

Cynic are great. If you like Opeth, you'll like Cynic.

Of the album, you can either go for their early release and get Focus. Or you can get their newest album Traced In Air. It won't matter really.

 

[Atticus.]

i think traced in air is vastly superior to focus
and yes they are kinda opethish. except better vocals

 

[Omie Jay]

i dont think i'll like opeth, so probaby not cynic either..

 

[Absolutezero]

i dont think i'll like opeth

Does this mean you haven't heard them? They're one of the best progressive death metal bands on the market.

 

[Omie Jay]

ive listened to about half of a song on their myspace and i didnt really like, but everyone says they're heaps good, so i'll get an album, whats their best album that i should get?

Yea man, gonna be fucking awesome

Also, in response to your Opeth question, get Still Life or Blackwater Park. Still Life being my fav Opeth album and Blackwater is, imo, the "gateway" Opeth album.

 

[Omie Jay]

watchu mean 'gateway'?

 

[BeyondDeath]

I rekon its the most accessable (other than Damnation of course) and covers a wide range of the different Opeth sounds, so you get a taste of what theyre about (but theyve changed alot since theyre Orchid and Morningrise days). Also because the song Blackwater Park is fucking awesome.

Pink floyd is fucking awesome. Opeth is absolutely awesome. Therefore you=ghey

Umm yeah, ur kidding me right. Vocals for opeth is the most dynamic and prob one of the greatest singers i have ever heard. Cynic is good, but not Opeth. Dont forget it

 

[Atticus.]

yeh only not
he is good, but incomprehensible growling does absolutely nothing for me. and anyone who wants to tell me its an expression of passion can go die

obviously you've only heard some Opeth songs. U'll find that in about 50% of their songs hes not growling at all, but singing. I think u should listen to more Opeth before jumping to conclusions.

ALSO if u dont like growling then u prob wouldnt like >80% of death metal?

Pink floyd is fucking awesome. Opeth is absolutely awesome. Therefore you=ghey

i like pink floyd, just not their 10 minute plus shit

 

[Atticus.]

read my post. i said i hate incomprehensible growling.
and im very aware that opeth are 50% singing, and i like those songs. but the nathan explosion esque growl is fucking boring
