My Experience:

I hated screaming, or growling. That is, until Cynic.

My Bass Player [Michael Schellenberg] first referred me to Cynic's comeback album, "Traced In Air".

I had never been impressed by a metal album more.

The thing is, I'm a big fan of any sort of Jazz Fusion. Jazz Metal? "Unheard of" I said to myself. But it was true. Cynic was a Jazz Metal band, and I loved every bit of them.

Their first album, "Focus", was revolutionary in the Metal word. It was groundbreaking, and changed a lot of stuff in the music world.

Noticeable Traits:

• Jazz Beats Mixed with Metal
• Electronicized Vocals
• Imogen Heap Style Vocals (The Space for This)
• Song Order Works with itself (On their new Album)
• Chunky Palm Muted High Notes work as Great Guitar Riffs
