1	* CreativeDifferences: Led to the dissolution of the ''Focus'' line-up, Tymon Kruidiner and Robin Zielhorst leaving the band after ''Re-Traced'', and reportedly was a part of Sean Reinert leaving the band in 2015.
2	* DevelopmentHell: They've been a band for ''34 years'' and have only released four albums.
3	* HeAlsoDid: Paul, Sean Reinert and Sean Malone have done a lot more than you think they have. As have some previous members of the band...
4	** Paul [[http://www.metalsucks.net/tag/metta-mind-journal/ wrote a column]] for a while. As you'd expect from him, it contains plenty of [[CloudCuckoolander Cloud Cuckoolandering]] and {{Woobie}} material.
5	** Paul produced an album of childrens' music for '''''[[Creator/JimCarrey JIM CARREY]]''''', which was a companion to his childrens' book ''How Roland Rolls''. A behind the scenes video can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjxU_ounLIY here]] and it's ''really'' bizarre.
6	** Paul filed a [[http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,422,875.PN.&OS=PN/6,422,875&RS=PN/6,422,875 patent]] in 1999 for a machine designed to assist people who have difficulty speaking. It was approved in 2002.

9	** Sean Malone has been a session musician on over ''fifty'' records to date, as well as being the author of four books.
10	** Brandon Giffin was the bassist of Music/TheFaceless.
11	** Max Phelps is the vocalist, guitarist and main songwriter of the band Exist and a live vocalist for Music/DefeatedSanity, and is also a member of WAIT with his Exist bandmate Alex Weber and Charlie Eron.
12	* ProductionPosse: Before Sean Reinert [[WeUsedToBeFriends cut ties with him]], he worked with Paul on a wide variety of production and songwriting work outside of Cynic.
13	* PromotedFanboy: Tymon Kruidiner, Robin Ziehorst, Max Phelps, Brandon Giffin and Matt Lynch.
14	* UpdatedReRelease: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv0np-5MpW4 Tymon's remix of "Wheels Within Wheels"]]. Subverted as it's not official and was done long after Tymon left the band. [[DoingItForTheArt He doesn't make any money off of it anyway]], as he uploaded it on Website/YouTube for free and the video is not monetized.
15	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The video for "King of Those Who Know". The footage was apparently stolen by the director and never returned to the band.
16	** The cancelled Cynic/Onward With Love European tour, the booking of which caused Sean to leave Cynic permanently.
