Not to be outdone by silly bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Testament and Motley Crue, [relatively] recently reunited prog metal pioneers Cynic want their moment in the “playing our classic album in its entirety” sun too.
According to an email from the band’s label Season of Mist, Cynic will hit the road this July and August for “The Decibel Fall of Fame Tour” on which they’ll play their classic 1993 record Focus in full. We know that Cynic will headline, but we don’t know which other bands will be on the tour. Seeing as a criterion for Decibel Hall of Fame inclusion is that all band members must be alive to talk about the album, we haven’t got much to help us whittle down the list of the 50-some-odd Decibel Hall of Fame bands listed here. But we’re MetalSucks so we’re gonna speculate anyway!
It’s safe to assume that if Cynic are headlining then bigger bands like Slayer and Anthrax won’t be on the tour, and that, for example, the classic Sepultura lineup isn’t about to reunite. It’s also reasonable, but by no means fool-proof, to make assumptions based on style… like, I doubt they’re gonna throw Converge on tour with Cynic (but ya never know). With that in mind, here’s my short-list for possible other bands:
* Carcass
* Atheist
* Morbid Angel
* Obituary
* Suffocation
* Nile
* Enslaved
This is fun; and this tour will undoubtedly be fun too. We’ll keep you apprised of any developments.

then I found out its just a guess:(
Cynic and Carcass would be earth shattering. Too bad they're playing Focus rather than Traced In Air though. Traced In Air pwns the shit out of Focus.
jump the gun here kid
then I found out its just a guess:("
I almost fell out of my chair when I read the names then I saw it was "possible bands."
Can't agree with you there, Traced is too polished to me, and leaves out the death influences that made them so unique in the first place.
I remember Wine said that their name should always be exclaimed from a while back. lol
NILE!
OBITUARY!
