It's hard to analyze whether it is better or not than Path 1, what I do know is this New Album (Netherworld II) is a great sequel for the beautiful Chronicles of Immortals - Path I, also We can notice the continuity, the first song starts with the Vision 11even, probably hereafter They will be releasing a box with the two Parts which would be an awesome addition for the lovers of music as art. All songs manage to draw attention like that book you need to read until the aftermath, and indeed The Last Vision (19teen) seems to be the epic conclusion to this tale, awesome!

I start to Like Cyinc when they released Traced in Air around 2009, that time I did not like them too much , I used to think that songs with growling vocal were a waste, but there was something that draw my attention in that CD. I think a few months later I really was into what I thought was a waste. I don't know exactly what happens to these guys take this extreme decision to split up, regardless their sexuality I really like their work over the past years, also My First Cynic Album (EP) was Carbon Based Anatomy, one of the greatest Cynic albums that really lifts me up in bad times. I'd like to thank you guys for your inspiration, contribution over the years, not only musically but spiritually as well, thank you! Hope to see you someday live again.
Sean Statement:
It is with a heavy heart that I post today's CYNIC news. CYNIC is no longer an active band. Due to artistic and personal differences, the second chapter in the ‘BOOK OF CYNIC’ has come to an end.
I will say the last shows we played in JAPAN have left me with a positive charge, even though they were the last live performances with Paul, Sean Malone & I on the same stage. My longstanding creative partnership with Paul, which started when we were very young kids in south Florida, has simply endured so much friction that there is no way, from my perspective, that CYNIC can be salvaged, repaired or kept afloat by any means.
I profusely apologize to the fans who were not only expecting us in China & Taiwan (that was not our fault), but to the fans who were planning to see us in Europe next month. These things happen, unfortunately, to bands. There can be differing levels of conflicts and/or differences in opinions, musical directions, or perspectives. Sometimes these things are insurmountable, and no amount of time or effort can resolve them. This is the case with CYNIC.
This page will stay up, and of course there are our respective personal pages and websites that will continue to let everyone know what we’re doing individually.
I wish all of you love & peace.

I'm not an old follower of Stryper, but even I've liked "No More Hell to Pay", The new album Fallen has something more than "NMHTP", the guitars are really more intense, you can feel more energy coming from the band, and the surprising is that even the guys are in their fifties, They still rock! omg btw who did not have the opportunity to see these guys live, definitely have to see their concert, no matter if you're christian or you have satan as your commmander, these guys are above any religion at all, it's worth it!

This concert was recorded on 2014 in Atlanta at mythological Prog Power USA, omg, They played the entire Celestial Entrance album, just for that I tremble, but speaking of the new live album. I think for those who like Pagan's Mind for a few years (like me), it really joins all qualities of these guys, since Nils who is doing an amazing vocal job to Viggo who is as always amazing with his hammering guitar play, also all band mates are really in exceptional shape. The album features yet Michael Eriksen (Circus Maximus) in 2 songs (Walk Away in Silence and Eyes of Fire), for all these features, it's really essential for who likes Pagan's Mind and great music, it's a "must have" for sure!

I learned about Trivium when They released Shattering the Skies Above video, since then I really became a follower of this band. After I got my In Waves Album I had the unique opportunity to see them Live in 2012, that was a Hell of concert, I almost fainted in that shit, anyway speaking of the New Album, I could say it is really better than Vengeance Falls, strong instrumental, powerful lyrics, but with no screaming, I can not say I don't miss it, because I did, but anyway as many fans are saying it's really sounding like a Shogun sequel, anyway they are mighty, they will always be!

Even not being that kind of band that delivers a million notes per second, because sometimes for many people prog music is synonym of the faster the better, what's a lie! What's different somehow, what could get to your heart with single words and also being as amazing as an adventure that You don't wanna awake up, that's could be called prog!

Sometimes it's not so easy to find a pearl inside the shell. We really need to look deeply to find something that worth it, but when we do, that's rewarding.

Usually on the instrumental lands you hear a lot of stuff that sound like subject A or B, but it's to be praised when someone manages to deliver an impressive and modern work as Benjamin (Delta) does in his latest album (The Search Part I: Instrospection). I think the entire album is awesome, although in "Madness track", at 03:17, it's like the time stopped, just for that this album is totally worth it! Oh.. Fuck..!

I may be wrong but the new Periphery album is really heavier than their predecessor, it's really a hammering album with some great "djentscapes", also I couldn't miss the screaming vocal that is great!

The first album I tried to listen of them was Colors, that time I found I prefer only the track 1, the remaining tracks were not what I was used to listen to, the growling vocals were too much for me absorb. I don't know who changed, perhaps I did, because talking about the new Between the Buried And Me album, I really realize how great it is, for those who like great tunes mixed with heavy guitars and awesome growling vocals, that's a prog blast!

It's hard to say something not so good about Kamelot releases, because always they manage to surprise and reinventing themselves, that's not different about Haven. It's a surprising, breathtaking album with some great Tommy performances, sometimes He really reminds Roy Khan, also what cannot pass unnoticed is the great electronic combination they put into it, and a lot of that comes from Oliver Palotai who every album He really stands out.

The first contact I had with these band was when I saw the video gimme chocolate which is kinda awkward, but I don't know why it has something that attracts me, then I've watched it until the end. I thought BBM would be a band with only one song, as we see in some many waves in music scenery, but that's not the truth. The band behind the makeup I really don't know, but what these guys do is really worth, besides SU-Metal,who is the main vocal, got a great voice. I don't know how the band will be within 3 years or more, because the girls are not going to be so young as it demands, I guess, but anyway what their producer KOBAMETAL created is really fucking awesome and their new DVD - Live At Budokan is the conclusion of what metal was meant to be.
