OBSCURA | "How Could I" (Cynic Cover, 2012) 

and they got their name from Gorguts, nothing better than that

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.

+ morbid angel

They want it to sound exactly the same. That's not possible though

You're right, vocoder here is killer

I like this version more because of vocals

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

i love cynic and thought it would be shit but its a great cover. true to the original with their own flavor

Indeed. Juicy.

3:43

Awesome how was it? I missed their recent show near me sadly😭

@n0ah_m309 they sound great live man, tight and right on time, go to their show next time you won't regret it

They're both way to short in my opinion.

@@freeroommalmo2792 You should listen to the Cynic song Pleading for Preservation.

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........

Guy Snowden Yeaaaah! This sounds wrong to me and very sad. That makes me sad.

"That makes me sad" I couldn't have put it better myself LOL!

they arent trying to play it the same....

whaaaaaaaaa, it's not an exact replica of the original. Whaaaaaaaaaaaa

Not anymore :)

@@PROJECTJoza100beat me to it lol

@@n0ah_m309 i mean a lot of ppl know Obscura now.

Hahahaha

They're one of the first the death metal band offering some high complexe and evolving melody, with changes in textures while staying in a extreme fashion, cynic was the first how put the idea, but to a "softer standard"

But its studio

Why would they play solo exactly like the original? That ruins the whole point of a COVER.

Amr Elseweifi Actually after a few listens I changed my mind about that, and now I like both solos almost equally.

*****​ - Pero es que el cover de Death es malisimo y más encima le cambian el excelente solo que tiene

Es un cover

You fucking wot

Yeah its definitely not as good as Cynic, almost like emotion-less.

Better than the original
