	Cynic (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cynic was a progressive/technical death metal band from Miami, Florida, USA that was founded in 1987 and dissolved in 1994.
		With the arrival of bassist Tony Choy, the band began recording their first demos, which, for the most part, contained the prevalent death metal/thrash tendencies typical of the Florida scene.
		Besides the band's unquestionable technical prowess, the album also displayed their awesome talent for improvisation and inventive songwriting.

	CoC : Aghora : Interview
		Aghora are no depressive, frustrated, baggy-pants metal brat pack, nor some violently thrashing death troupe; they have both a positive outlook and a wide-ranging musical scope.
		Aghora also have the talents of Sean Malone and Sean Reinert (Gordian Knot and ex-Cynic bassist and drummer respectively) filling their rhythm section, and a female vocalist, Danishta Riviera, on vocal duties.
		Aghora is spawned out of the lack of a scene and out of every artist that has inspired us.

		Aghora is better than most of the bands out there and we have had an ongoing upstream battle with the industry standards and labels.
		Aghora is a tantric path of transformation and alchemy.
		Their record "Aghora" is quite different and unlike anything else I've ever heard, however the lyrics sometimes seem to be a little bit too "mystic" and deep.

		Aghora combine many different styles effortlessly, and frequently shift from one to the other in the blink of an eye.
		Oh well, as good as that band was, it will be this band that will have the privilege of parking their album in my CD player more frequently.
		Aghora is without a doubt a strong force in progressive metal with inspirations to spare.

		Aghora is a jazz influenced metal band led by guitarist Santiago Dobles, featuring the rhythm section of jazz/metal pioneers Cynic and Dobles' sister Danishta Rivero on vocals.
		Aghora "1998 Demo" held the rhythm guitars in the background and allowed the melodic elements like vocals and bass to shine through, a unique sound for a metal band.
		"Aghora" is a solid full length demo in a very intruiging style, but it doesn't have the musical or sound refinements of a studio quality album.

		The idea to create this band was cultivated while I was attending school in Berklee in 1995.
		AGHORA was an ancient Tantric sect in northern India that strived to embrace the world, embrace impurity, embrace darkness and push through forcibly into light.
		After the song is sequenced I give the band their copy of a demo and charts.

	Aghora - Aghora Review - sputnikmusic
		"Aghora" is an Indian sect who have this idea about forcing light to come from darkness, obviously in a spiritual sense, and this is what the band based the album on.
		Aghora aren't a band I can have in heavy rotation, but from time to time they're a nice change from the usual metal.
		Aghora is alright, but not really my thing in the end.

		Much like Cynic, Aghora has every chance to show off amazing technical proficiency, but also manage to create memorable compositions with well-placed soloing (which is not limited to the guitar) and breakdowns.
		There is also no dearth of experimentation here as Aghora implement a great deal of electronics into their music, as well as the Tabla and Sitar for an authentic sound (keep reading...) which builds on Cynic's use of keyboards on their album.
		Rivero is a true asset to the band, not simply for her singing talents, but also for her vocal arrangements, which add to the continuity of the songs greatly.

		Aghora - Aghora (Independent, 2000) Aghora is a jazz-influenced metal band led by guitarist Santiago Dobles, featuring the rhythm section of jazz/metal pioneers Cynic and Dobles' sister Danishta Rivero on vocals.
		The music will undoubtedly be compared to Cynic because of the common band members and the obvious jazz metal influence.

		The American band Aghora came to life in the years 1995-97 and was founded by Santiago Dobles, the main composer of the band, when he was attending the Berklee School of Music.
		Aghora is fronted by Santiago´s sister Danishta Rivero, a classically trained soprano who has a beautiful voice of course.
		Aghora is a well produced debut album definitely worth checking out it you are into experimentive progressive metal but I find the jazzy sound a bit difficult to like.

	CD
		AGHORA - AGHORA (Season of Mist -1999): This release is something kind of personal for me. Being a longtime fan of bands such as Death and Cynic, here is the release of a band that has in his line up the former drummer of both bands: Sean Reinert.
		First of all, it is a debut album from this French band and it has an extremely good sound (the drums are up in the mix and the guitar sound really fat) and an extremely good presentation and layout with an artistic but morbid illustration from a guy called Benjamin Carre.
		This band is really aggressive and sounds like those powerful bands of the middle eighties with lot of rythmic parts and riffs that are made to jump in a mosh pit.

		The frontman of this Canadian band Vince (ex-Infernal Majesty) has described the style of Bloodwurm as "Southern-Fried Voodoo Goth-Rock." Whatever it means, this band has something, and I can't take their music unseriously.
		This band comes from Denmark and is probably not so good as the prog metal band with the same name from USA, but worthy of great praise.
		This is a Norwegian band with influences from death/thrash to psychedelic rock a la Kyuss/Mindfunk.

		In other words, the band still sounds like Testament, I mean, c'mon, this is their eighth record, but at times the record manages to draw a few solid ideas that help expand what the band is all about.
		The band of the festival for me and a band I am already salivating in anticipation of seeing again, Arch Enemy were certainly a step down in heaviness and intensity from the all-out-assault of Nile, but all the same they were relatively impressive.
		The result of putting together a band like Sculpture, who have no problem in reproducing their CD sound live, and a strong and clear live sound was an approximately 45 minute long lesson in doom metal.

		The link between the two bands started when Santiago as a young teenager became a huge fan of Cynic (I remember he always wore the CYNIC tee-shirt, and he only had one!).
		When Santiago moved to Miami he made friendships with the members of CYNIC and this has developed through the years to where we are today.
		I think the answer is no. AGHORA incorporates some CYNIC influences with many new ones introduced by Santiago.

		I really have only heard one band that has adopted such a broad base of styles, Aghora, which is a great cd, but I'd have to say Arabesque has much more of a band feel to them, and the vocals are much more varied, where as Aghora's vocals were somewhat the same throughout the cd.
		To compare the two bands is really not fair to either one, both are outstanding in their own right, my reference to Aghora is only in general terms (prog/fusion/female singers,great musicianship,etc), if you know of Aghora, this is but a small reference, but fans of one will definetly like the other.
		The performance of the band is outstanding, the vocals are great with some nice chorus and even a sample here and there is used to make it a special mix of Prog-metal.

		I am not sure who plays with them the rest of the US tour, perhaps it is all local bands, but this show was opened by South Florida’s own fusion/prog metal band Aghora.
		Aghora has a solid following locally, but I think it is safe to say that this was their biggest show in South FL.
		Having just gone through a major lineup change (due to injuries and personal decisions three of five band members were different this time around) and only a few days of rehearsals, they brought their A game to this bill.

	CoC : Aghora - 1998 demo : Review
		"Aghora" is a Sanskrit term for "light, the absence of darkness".
		Aghora's music is about the same heaviness as The Gathering, but it has the technicality and mystical/Indian influences of Cynic.
		Aghora have recently signed a deal with Sensory Records (who put out the Gordian Knot CD), and hopefully will have a full length CD out sometime in the Spring of 2000.

		It was only a matter of time before the members of the late great Cynic got involved in new bands, and Aghora is one such band, featuring the Cynic rhythm section of Sean Reinert and Sean Malone, though the band was founded by guitarist Santiago Dobles.
		Aghora, the album, is an intriguing fusion/metal/rock album, featuring smooth melodic vocals from Danishta Rivero, excellent guitarwork from two guitarists with differing backgrounds (one, Dobles, seems more jazz/fusion-based, the other, Charlie Ekendahl, metal-based), and exactly the masterful rhythm section work that one would expect from the Cynic Seans.
		There is quite a bit of variety here, the band is quite willing to explore different moods and styles.

	Transcending the Mundane (TTM): Listen / Buy / Read Review of Aghora by Aghora
		Numerous Metal fans have referred to Aghora as Technical Metal, which is what many are commonly calling Metal that is played technically and precisely, but is otherwise hard to define.
		From the first song, you get the idea that Aghora has entered into an implicit non-aggression pact with their listeners.
		After listening to Aghora's Self-Titled release a few times, I can't say with certainty what it is, but I can say that it isn't Technical Metal.

		At thirteen he started a punk rock band, and they needed a drummer.

	AGHORA discography, MP3 and reviews
		AGHORA is an intriguing and unusual metal/jazz rock band from Florida.
		If you are familiar with death metal pioneers CYNIC, you will have a good idea of where this music stands; however, AGHORA isn't a CYNIC clone as Santiago incorporates many new influences to the material, making it a bit jazzier and more oriental sounding.
		This is highly technical progressive metal and not easy to get into; once you've got beyond the complexity, however, you can't help but appreciate the immense talent in this band: their music is intense, fun and exciting; ambitious but not pretentious.

	BLABBERMOUTH.NET - CYNIC To Reunite For European Festival Appearances, Possible U.S. Dates
		Long-defunct Florida-based band CYNIC, whose 1993 album "Focus" is regarded as a landmark release in the field of technical/progressive metal, is rumored to be planning a reunion tour in the spring/summer of 2007, beginning with possible U.S. warm-up performances and culminating in a number of festival appearances across Europe.
		According to the CYNIC fan site The Cynical Sphere, Masvidal and Reinert described their relationship with Chuck as "very laid back", and were able to help Schuldiner with the writing by giving him input, which had been missing on the earlier DEATH records.
		Sean M was hired to record with aghora and cynic, (as he was the bassist in house, and employee of morrisound studios where cynic was recorded.
