[QUOTE=sean2332;17088229]everyone on here blows their load about them and the new cd...i don't get what makes them so elite[/QUOTE]

It's called "Focus". Maybe you've heard of it?

[QUOTE=Dimmu Burger;17087991]
Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, Neuraxis, Carnifex and The Plasmarifle. Should be a fun night of juns and sweeps![/QUOTE]

indeed indeed, looking forward to it

[QUOTE=Cocaine;17091191]It's called "Focus". Maybe you've heard of it?[/QUOTE]

TIA doesn't compare to Focus tho really.

They're still excellent, just overrated on these boards.

we talkin abt opeth here or what

or right same thing

[QUOTE=sean2332;17088229]everyone on here blows their load about them and the new cd...i don't get what makes them so elite[/QUOTE]

Focus. Plain and simple. Traced In Air is an excellent disc but not quite on the same level.

Everything on Focus feels like it is meant to be there, every note, riff, etc., nothing is out of place...

Also, name a band that could all but disappear for 15 years and return with something like Traced In Air.

^Truth

[QUOTE=bringonthebreakdown;17091162]chris storey left asp :`([/QUOTE]

Ah well. Hopefully the new guy will shake things up a bit. That's the positive aspect of getting a new guitarist, a fresh writing perspective.

srsly haha

still not impressed. let the hate mail begin...

[QUOTE=sean2332;17091755]still not impressed. let the hate mail begin...[/QUOTE]

Not talking about you per se but I don't understand how some people can listen to bands like BTBAM, The Faceless, The Human Abstract, and Protest The Hero and not understand Cynic...

maybe i just need to listen to them until i like them haha

When I first got into "extreme metal" and what not I didn't give them enough time and then one day it just clicked.

kinda one of those bands that has to grow on you? i get it

Not really grow...I just didn't give a sh*t about them.

that's how i feel, everyone thinks they are SO amazing and idk i just don't see it myself

They are though...I mean there's a reason that they get so much praise...

well i see them live thursday so we will see, nothing better than a live show to judge a bands worth

has anyone heard all of the new conducting from the grave yet? i'm surprised it's not on the major blogs yet.

Am I the only one who thinks The Common Man's Collapse by Veil of Maya is a fantastic album? I get to see them in a week with After the Burial, so excited.

i do, and i am also seeing them soon. i can't wait.

no?

[QUOTE=silicon71;17092493]Am I the only one who thinks The Common Man's Collapse by Veil of Maya is a fantastic album? I get to see them in a week with After the Burial, so excited.[/QUOTE]

only the first half or so is fantastic

After the burial is great live, one of their guitarists was dressed in a nice polo shirt and pants for some reason

Probably doesn't like looking like a stinkin' metalhead.

i love the fact that VoM and ATB has rose through the ranks pretty much together. What's this like their 4th or 5th tour together?

Born Of Osiris too...

BOO is over-rated as **** but still good.

I don't like them, but they blew up alongside those bands.

I'm not sure of BOO, but I'll take your word for it.

i didn't think i liked BoO that much until i got their new album

now i know i don't like them that much

BoO are terrible and the guitarist from the faceless needs to stop producing for deathcore bands.

123

oh **** enc sighting

If you guys remember I posted new 2 BOO instrumental demos a couple months ago, they were pretty good, hopefully the album is too

also I saw an interview w/ VoM saying they're working on a new album

so they both might have albums this year

'cited for new VoM, not so much new BoO

No. They are friggin insane...........

Born Of Osiris are aboslutely awesome, every part of their sound is spot on, I can't see how it can't be liked........

I can't see how you can't see that someone may not like something you do.
