Klasyka progresywnego metalu, autorzy deathmetalowego zmieniacza świata pt. Focus. Dla przeciętnego fana ekstremy, ich dyskografia kończy się w tym miejscu. Dla wielu nawet ta płyta to krok za daleko, a Cynic nie oferuje nic, co można opisać jako brutalne, ciężkie czy brudne i bezkompromisowe napierdalanie Death Metalu...
Nieprawda!
Zespół właśnie re-wydał zbiór demówek i popełnił zabieg, który chyba po raz pierwszy w historii metalu ma kurwa sens. Stroi go piękne opakowanie dźwiękowe oraz po raz pierwszy w historii Cynic, prawdziwa organiczna, techniczna surowizna i ostre thrash-deathmetalowe utwory, które swoim poziomem ucieszą wyznawców klasyków od Sadus, Death, Pestilence czy Abomination.
