Any samples for the artwork?

Hi Black Axe,

Good point. I will get some pm`d over to mate. It was on the house hold computer which blew up - but I will get another JPeg of it over to you.

Best wishes,

Tim

Played the clips - grrreat, crunchy, heavy hardrockmetal! I guess I both miss the more melodic vocals of the ancient single and really dig the more raw, "Lemmyish" vocals of the album. Thumbs up for the crisp yet raw production - just the way I like it. Luw the wild rehearsal-room sound of the drums

That neat logo+claw motif in the beginning of some of the clips looks like a t-shirt waiting to happen. Keep us posted, Tim.

Hi Dan,

Mate - thanks a million for the comments - the Cynic Claw logo was used on the Rebel Eye EP and used to be on the front skins of my double bass Tama - Might be good to get it onto a T Shirt.
I saw Bloodstock Open Air were talking on a Forum about getting us to play - I have written to them to say we would be interested.
They run a forum pole wish list of those bands you would like to see.
I will keep you posted.
Best wishes,
Tim

Cynic T-shirt's and patches are mandatory!

I just saw the line-up for Bloodstock and it is even worse than Wacken. I hate to see that become the only Cynic gig.

Put it in a gatefold sleeve and on a nice thick vinyl and this will be the absolute best package of the year.

That would probably be the best solution. Though a small NWOBHM festival with Cynic, Arc, Scarab and Ritual would be perfect.

Bloodstock used to be quite good when it was indoors at the Derby Assembly Rooms. Had some great times there and saw a number of great sets:

Gamma Ray & Blind Guardian in 2002 for instance
Drinking 18 pints of bitter in one day.
Heckling Paradise Lost to play tracks off of their demos.

The last time I went was in 2005 and all the bands seemed to be female fronted gothic shite.

Now it all seems to be In Flames and Lacuna Coil bollocks bluurrgghh
