Rock, Paper, Cynic | id
There are three artists called Cynic.
1. Formed in Florida, United States in 1987, Cynic is a progressive metal band that recorded a few thrash metal demos before moving to a highly complex form of jazz-fusion influenced experimental/avant-garde death metal, manifested in their seminal album, 1993's Focus, which for over a decade was the band's only official release.
Cynic disbanded in 1994 due to artistic differences while working on their second album, but regrouped in 2007 to perform a series of shows. The reunion was successful, with the group also performing a new song, entitled Evolutionary Sleeper, a composition in...
The artist formerly known as Cynics. Better known as 'haven't you shot up!' the history of which is often argued to be either due to his teenage growth spurt or his pretend heroin habit.
Born named Giles Alexander Romeo Bidder. He quickly became renound as GARB.

Cynicism was founded as a side project to the other bands of the project-leader Lindwurm. In search of his own musical identity Cynicism underwent several changes. But with time the essential and representative elements were more and more solidified.
Today there are brutal riffs, thundering drums, weird vocals and an increasing amount of electronical elements which shape the sound of Cynicism.
The first outcome of the development of Cynicism is the Mini-CD „The Path of Self-Sacrificing Destruction“. All songs are conceptionally connected and empathize the downfall of a mentally shattered person. Within five chapters the listener experiences the realisation, the...
