no big loss.... and remixed first album? that could either be great or awful

god damn they should just break up

Yeah not a huge deal.

When I met the band those two guys wouldn't sign my CD so, whatever.

If Re-Traced is any indication, Re-Focused is going to be awesome.

Super excited to see what they have in store on their next album. Peeking of progressive metal bands with new albums, what has been up with PTH? Anyone hear anything?

Good to see that the core of the band is staying.

Damn that sucks. Definitely still looking forward to the new album though.

whatever

those guys are replaceable

and omg new album

washit! until the page loaded, i hoped it was just some stupid concert line up change they were headlining. They should really learn how to settle

I'd leave too if I had to wait a decade between albums.

Yeah, what is up with PTH?

Can't wait for the new album. This shouldn't affect them, besides Sean Malone still does all studio bass for them, right?

I say bring back Jason Gobel and Tony Teegarden and have Tony Choy do live bass.

seriously talented guys but i hated tymons vox so hopefully they get a new guy who sounds more like tony, and maybe they can get sean malone full time :O

Getting Sean Malone would rule. Excited to hear a new album is coming.

Also, I'm pretty sure PTH went into the studio in August.

I liked Traced in Air but I could never get into Focus. Will definitely check out new album.

Growls were pretty weak in Traced in Air, didn't add too much to the album at all. Looking forward to that new album.

Those growls were the only qualm I had with TiA. I hope they just leave them out altogether for these new releases

I kinda liked Tymon's vocals, but really as long as they have Masvidal they're fine.

sucks but they will still be great im sure

No big deal. As long as Sean and Paul are in the band, it's still Cynic and they're all I care about.

stoked as hell for new album.

new album? yes please.

: ( Tymon was cool

wow so much hate on Cynic. I think their a great band, and the loss of Robin and Tymon is annoying. They were great musicians. Yeah they can be replaced but they were still very talented. However their bringing back Exivious.

I do believe they will get Malone back but only for the album, as hes mainly a session guy now. Doubt he'll do any tours with them.

Tymon was pretty lackluster live. Bad vocals, sloppy playing...


Band rules though.

Meh, they were pretty cool but replaceable. The good news is new Cynic coming, even if it is distant.

meh on the members lost...but hell yes to new cynic material

Bad news, but they weren't particularly essential. Glad that, at the least, there will be a new album soon.

cant wait for the new album! traced in air was sooooo sick this will be awesome!!!!

Ive seen Cynic twice live and met them on this summers "Re-Traced/Re-Focused" tour. Robin and Tymon we're quite nice guys, Paul and Sean obviously were too.

Too bad to see em go, Tymon did some SICK growls live.

I really think it's time for them to end it.

^ agreed!!!!

I'd really love a focus-ear lineup reunion, but I don't think Globel or Malone would agree. Ah well. One can only dream.

I like how people are saying this band should just end like they have released tons of CD's and their burning out of fuel.

I'm so glad Sean didn't leave

break up?

oh yeah because they've done so much!


Looking forward to the remix and new stuff.

I thought this was going to be Reinert, I almost cried.

So if the drummer and guitarist are the ones in California why was the bassist kicked out?

sean and paul are cynic basically

I don't think this should affect them too much, I'm looking forward to the new album.

A new album, already? At their current rate, this is like any other band releasing a follow-up in two months

Why would they end it now? They've only been back for like 2 years.
Spec you're an idiot.

yea he dumb

Sad news about the departure, but I'm sure they'll find worthy replacements. New album/re-release of Focus sounds absolutely kick ass.

This will be good.
