Hi - seriously thanks for the comments. The track you can hear is Dark December - a never previously heard Cynic track. Dom is doing 2 of the four solos you hear, and Shaun does the other 2, (not on this clip).
As soon as the artwork is complete - we will press the vinyl and CD`s, and offer it out to you guys.
I will have a go and get some more soundbites together- like Suicide in the 2006 version etc.
Best wishes,

Tim

CYNIC's 7" was a good recording, as is the demo. Great band, and I'm definitely buying this new album when it emerges.

There was a guy who once told me that the NWoBHM bands had great riffs, but often groan-worthy lyrics. I don't think CYNIC is a striking culprit in this, but there was one line on the excellent 7" that makes me groan all the time: "all the contracts of life, HE BREEEEEAAAACHES!" To sing that with total gusto...man...

Anybody else chuckle a little at that, then go back to rocking out hard to the song?

Is that the actual line?

Hi Black Axe,

Thanks for the very positive comment - the album is all finished - Shaun is just finishing up the artwork for the album cover, and then we can put it into production and distribution - I hope very soon.

Will keep you posted - would you like a taster of all the tracks on the album?

Best wishes,

Tim

This sounds damn great, let us know when the album is ready to be unleashed.

I absolutely love "Do Or Die". The somewhat mellow guitar tone, the melancholic singing and the general atmosphere of the track. It reminds me of a nice autumn evening, relaxing in front of the fire with a cup of tea. All in all it's one of the premium examples that NWOBHM doesn't necessarily have to be all galloping riffs and neck-wrecking mayhem.

Hi,

Thanks again for the very kind words - much appreciated. Do or Die is on the album Khnud - I will post up to you tube a taster in a few days.

Best wishes,

Tim

Hi All,

A couple more samples from the album, especially for Khnud, "Do or Die", and a really heavy metal "Eight Below" - mainly the guitar shredding bits. I hope like em.

Torrents are for thiefs. The early material should be released in an official compilation album.

Any updates on the album (release)?

Tim Batkin · Post by **Tim Batkin** » Sun Jan 06, 2008 7:18 pm

Hi Black Axe,

Thanks for letting me know about torrents - I had never heard of them, nor Seeds and Leeches?? All double Dutch to me - mind you I noticed they had some RUSH on the torrents, and copied it to my friends at SRO who manage RUSH - that should be interesting.

Yeah sorry for the dealy on the release we are just finishing off the artwork, and then production - Shaun is in charge of this - and he is very particular about "getting things right" its the Virgo in him - you should see him at band practice!

Best wishes,

Tim
