For anyone who doesn't know, Paul Masvidal (GtVo) and Sean Reinert (ds) participated Death's famous album Human. You can hear Sean's crazy drumming style in there too, and also Paul's guitar solo. Sean Malone (Bs) was a master of fretless bass. Both Sean have passed away in 2020. Tragedy. But their music remains here. This a MASTERPIECE!
and 2nd guitarist Jason Gobel played in Monstrosity, so they were all over Florida DM underground. The thing is that everyone was waiting for them to be the most brutal next thing, but the tornado destroyed their studio. And by the time they recorded new material, they were all into Fusion and jazz and people were not ready for it at the time, and it is the reason why they disbanded at first
It is amazing how this album managed to perfectly blend progressive, death metal, jazz, fusion together. 30 years have passed and it still sounds great today 🤘🪐🤘
Remember seeing them at the "Thrash Can" in Miami,FL 30 years ago !! Paul Masvidal is such a nice dude, and RIP Sean Reinhardt, he played drums of the Death " Human" album in 1991, so awesome to see this legacy kept going throughout the years , so original, so Iconic !!
Happy 30th anniversary 💖 This band paved the way for death metal and bands alike. It also transformed into the band it was always aiming to be. The sound changed but the message of truth and human identity never changed.
@@markcooperartcomofficial I'm just going by what it's described as by the RYM community. I believe some other genres were listed too. And yeah the joke Circle of Tone likes to say is that it's regressive metal. Because it's so formulaic. 👹🤘🏿
I saw them at the Masquerade in Atlanta will Cannibal Corpse. Sean Rhienhart absolutely changed my life. The way I veiwed music and my approach too it. Sean Malone was retarded as well. But I've never seen anything like them then,.....or since. It's like an All-star team of metal.
I saw the same tour, and the crowd was not digging on Cynic. I was of course, but average metalheads were pissed that they weren't brutal!! I saw the same thing when Atheist opened for Deicide.

I knew Sean Reinert was on the human album but I didn’t know anything else you guys said that’s awesome.
Human is really just a Cynic album.
@@rohitchaojiI don't know about that, this is too polished and progressive to be in the same vein as Death

Masterpiece, classic, one of a kind, the best

Focus is an all time classic album. It deserves all the praise that it gets.🤘
Great metal songs. The songs are great. 👏🏻👏
Agree. You are great for noticing
Timeless
Sean Malone was such a great bassist. The Gordian Knot albums are great as well
Una pequeña obra de arte
This has to be a big influence on Mastadon. Great album so far.
1993 baby
still way ahead of its time
Dope
Great job,
Legendary ... 💯🙏
Была такая кассета😊
Il y a 24 ans j’écoutais un superbe groupe qui évoluait dans le même registre . C’est AGHORA , Metal Prog Technique avec voix féminine .
What a voice and de paint cover looks dragon rojo Blake
Buona sera men

Ждёмс , господа !!!
One of my all time favourite albums
I'm happy @@@____
First time hearing this gem. Probably the first progressive metal album that I like.
It's not really prog metal. Its way more diverse than that crap.

@@markcooperartcomofficial how is this not prog
@@uroboric it is prog, but in a different way. The songs are actually "songs" and not 20 minute gibberish with random transitions
Don’t know this band 🤔
I'm unfamiliar with this band. It's really strange to me.😮
Check out The Contortionist as well!
"Muy ácido para mis gustos".
Check out Kindly Bent to Free Us from their 2014 debut. Easier to digest and still just as amazing.
What's happening here?
Jazz death metal.

How was he retarded
@@mylerwilson4879i think he means he was good too
Cynic was a band made entirely of Master Musicians, in the truest sense. Something that still goes over most peoples' heads and ears.
@@dpclerks09 Yes. This is true. The were the first true "progressive death metal" act. Live,.... they were otherworldly.
