New Cynic EP in November 2011!!!!!

[ArrowHead]

A prefer a screaming Paul Masvidal but Cynic is Cynic

Outside the early demos, has Paul ever done any screaming? Growls on TIA were Tymon, and wasn't Focus the older guitarist or sample/key player they used live?

I could be wrong, but the whole not screaming thing is nothing new for Paul.

I was afraid about the lack of the vocoder effect, but I notice he's done like Wheels Within Wheels that he has at least covered the vocoder harmonies with real vocal harmonies and still maintained that cool dissonant vocal harmony effect.

I just wish there was a little more edge to it. Where's all the cool guitar riffs I should be dying to sink my fingers/ears into?

Hopefully Tymon stole all the creative juices for new Exivious.

It was not Paul on Focus, so you are right

Yes their demos and early FOCUS Material had Masvidal on Vocals(Which I am a fan of) I do remember him damaging his vocal cord in FOCUS era and handed over the duties.

This 91 Demo features "Uroboric Forms" and "The Eagle Nature" with Paul on Vocal Duty.

Seems like Opeth and Cynic decided to chill out this year as far as composition goes.

 

[brutalwizard]

new song is awesome, i can not wait for the new album

 

[Enselmis]

This is pretty much guaranteed to be my number 1 release of 2011.

 

[in-pursuit]

not too sure how I feel about that track. but I'll reserve judgement until I've heard the EP in its entirety. I'm getting a bit of TMV vibe with some of the vocals as someone else mentioned previously.

 

[Stealth7]

Diggin' the new track!

 

[exordium]

Sounds so good! Feel dumb saying it, but I wish they were putting out a full length!

This EP makes me SO excited for the next full length. I think that's probably what Paul and Sean were going for.

 

[TasmanSam]

Loving it! vocal harmonies are cool

 

[MikeyLHolm]

Waiting it a lot, too bad they aint coming here this tour.

 

[piggins411]

[AlexTechNicol]

Props for your avatar and being a fellow Ohioan.
I love Tony on Focus but Paul's vocals ruled on that demo. I listen to a ton of old school death and I can honestly say he's earned a top 10 spot as one of my favorite death metal vocalists even though he only sang on a few demos. It's even more awesome that his disability gave birth to the amazing alien vocoder vocals.

Hopefully Tymon stole all the creative juices for new Exivious.

Hell yes. I almost feel like I'm asking too much of 2011: we've got new Animals as Leaders, Cynic, and supposedly new The Faceless. I've ruined enough pairs of pants already.
