So - did anyone spot total guitar legend, Andy Timmons, :rockdevil:

of Danger Danger, and Simon Phillips posing for a photo with our last album at Namm, on the You Tube clips???

Best wishes

Just downloaded "Suicide".

I'm 1:22 into the song Suicide and it sounds awesome already. Makes me wanna get out my Diamond Head CDs and have a NWOBHM session.

My only complaint is that I have to have you listed as Cynic (UK) in my iTunes as I already have the other Cynic's album Focus! :lol:

Also, what's the name of the new album?

by **Tim Batkin** on Sun Dec 23, 2007 1:26 am

The name of the new album will be either "Biblical Flood", (we drowned a car in the July Floods around the Midlands in July - and nearly lost one of the Protools Hard Drives with the album on), or "Suburban Crises" - Shaun is in charge of artwork and names etc.

Thanks very much for the kind words about Suicide :dance:

- Not sure what to do about the names in IPods etc - maybe nwobhm Cynic, or Thrash Cynic

Cynic (UK)?

Liked what I heard by the way. Lovely NWOBHM.

Hi Bangover,

Liked what I heard by the way. Lovely NWOBHM.

Thanks ever so much for the kind words - its appreciated!

I wonder whether Malc Macmillan will write a new book called the Second Wave of British Heavy Metal - all those who came back, (did not go away) for round two!

Best wishes,

Tim

Cynic from the US is better.

Cynic from the US is better.

Each to their own. They are very different to us musically.

I know.

I was on a Cynic (US) trip, so I'm sorry if I hassled you with my unkind comment.

Now I go and get myself tortured because I was such a bad boy.

No worries mate - I had not taken any offence - I was just recognising we are all different with varied tastes - I would be surprised if any die hard Cynic US fans would like our stuff to that same degree - as we have very different genres and styles, and probably vice verca.
Hopefully we can all make a living out of playing! :rockdevil:

Man, I was joking, hahaha!
Well, even if your band is pretty cool, I still prefer the US kind of Cynic,

Man, I need to listen my Diamond Head LP again...

A bunch of people really have to get rid of all that sand....

by **Pashpo** on Mon Dec 31, 2007 5:39 pm

What do you mean with 'all that sand'?

Cool Poison display picture, man \m/
