'even saying that the death metal element of their sound was unnecessary and felt tacked on would be a fairer statement'
yeah, actually that IS a fair(er) statement

I don't think Cynic ever wanted death metal (+ other stuff) to be their identity, but their label had no clue what do to with them, so they pushed that one facet of their sound and stuck them on tour with Cannibal Corpse... of all the bands / fanbases to stick a band like this in front of...
I think it's clear they wanted to be a prog band that had death elements, but the narrative was taken out of their hands.

That’s really interesting and makes a lot of sense. I always found it weird that they were classified as death metal above all else.

according to Paul, their breaking point was when CC fans started throwing beer bottles at them at a show in Texas and booed them offstage, and they basically decided to throw in the towel.

Exactly. RoadRunner records tanked Cynic, Believer, and Pestilence due to their terrible mismanagement and total inability to understand what it was these three bands were playing. Metal Blade did better with Atheist (Although they destroyed Anacrusis and Thought Industry by trying to sell them the same way they'd sell Fates Warning).

I think that happened a lot with all the prog/tech-death bands back then. In fact, I remember an old interview with Chuck Schuldiner and Chris Barnes, and this was while Death were on tour with CC promoting Individual Thought Patterns - despite the fact that Death were so far removed musically and lyrically from CC at that point. A lot of the Floridian DM bands just kinda got lumped in with each other from a marketing/publicity standpoint.
For a more mainstream equivalent, the big 4 of grunge (and other grunge bands, for that matter) were often lumped together despite having their own unique takes or approaches to the sound
