    The boys in Obscura have amazing taste in music! Death, Atheist, AND Cynic?

      Yeah I never hear my boys in Atheist being shouted out enough. Piece of Time and Sound of Perseverance were some of the first metal albums I bought, I'm only 23 now.

    I think it sounds really good in my opinion. And it can't be easy to cover a band like Cynic.

    Anyone complaining about how this one isn't as good as the original, stfu. You can't actually expect anyone to be as good as Cynic. It's a good cover. There's a lot that i don't like, but I DO like how the vocorder effect sounds in this, and the chapman stick too.

      I never understand complaints like that lol. There's no point in covering a song if you're trying to make it sound exactly like the original. If that's what you want just go listen to the original then?? The whole point of a cover is to here a new artist interpreting the song in their own way

    did a good job of the cover for real. obscura and cynic are to of my favorite bands as well as some of my greatest inspiration when writing my own music on guitar and drums. great musicians. id love to see a cynic obscura tour come to the u.s. maybe even like mastodon or gojira thrown in there. id oay big to see that.

  • @CaliSourDiesel

    Obscura actually did a fantastic job with this cover, saying cynic can't be covered is ignorant and somewhat biased. You should give Obscura props for covering such an amazing song.

    • @InfectusGuy
      @InfectusGuy 7 років тому +4

      Because they completely fucked it up, and yes it certainly does give me the shivers too! 0:42 they repeat the riff rather than the proper variation, 3:50 the bends are a semi-tone too low, 3:58 is 5 semitones too high and then yeah at 4:09 the just totally murder it. You can even call it "artistic licence" if a drummer like me can spot it, how on earth did these undeniably amazing musicians get it so wrong. I'm going to have to go back to the original to cleanse my ears im afraid........

    I'm not saying it's a bad cover, but honestly, when I heard that Obscura did a cover of this tune, my expectations were very high. And it really did not meet my expectations. Hannes is such a great drummer, but holy crap does he ever sound stiff on this recording. The original will always be king to me.

    tech death y el progresivo metal fusion puedo decir que es un gran cover de cynic no puedo decir que es mejor que el original pero tampco puedo decir que es peor pero tiene la agresividad de death metal que en la original le falta ,los guturales mas resaltados como la linea que cynic como buen death tecnico empezo debio seguir pero al contrario de cynic original los vocoder suenan muy computarisados al igual que la guitarra principal sin ese toque jazzero que solo paul masvidal toca le da su toque de pedal de guitarra al estilo de allan holdsworth mas jazz fusion al igual sin ese toque extraterrestre organico que da paul masvidal al cantar con su vocoder ese sello es hecho por cynic y creo que obscura hiso un gran cover al estilo obscura .....sin mas pero me quedo con la original ...ya que cynic tiene mas enfoque jazzero que death metalero y eso siempre se enfoco y me hubiese gustado que siga asi

    I love Obscura and think any song on Focus is great, I don't think the cover is shitty, but I think it pales compared to the original. I don't think Obscura should cover songs of the same genre because it doesn't really bring anything new to the song, at all.

    'As one of the first bands in extreme metal, Obscura funded this release with the concept of crowd sources capital'
    Two things:
    1. Obscura were not one of the first bands in extreme metal. They even took their name from an earlier song by one of said bands.
    2. They did not fund anything with a concept. I'm not sure if it's a foreign thing, but that wording is extremely weird and nonsensical.

    One of the most sterile, emotionless covers I've ever heard. You'd think a band would cover a song because, you know, they love it. Who doesn't love this song?
    If Obscura loves How Could I, they just showed their love by bore-fucking it to sleep.
