Cynic in concert

Yes I have it! I bought the ticket for their concert here in Dublin! Unfortunately they will only play as guest for Opeth (sucks) but I can't keep my excitement for the upcoming event. It's been a long way since I dreamed to see their performance, I hope I will not get too emotional...for fuck sake 15 YEARS!



I will try to bring my handycam but I would rather prefer just to enjoy their show: their performance will always be recorded in my mind.
