Tim Batkin is drummer in Cynic, a British group that was founed in 1980. Tim\'s band reactivated in 2006 and recorded a new album in 2007 at at Rockfield Recording Studio. You can imagine Tim\'s exitement when he and his band were invited to play at Wacken Open Air.\"The German people have an enviable and just reputation for thoroughness and attention to detail, so it is very disappointing to report that during negotiations for Cynic (UK) to play at Wacken (including telephone conversations to and from England), that whilst they booked and promoted a British heavy metal band from Worcester, England, they believed he had entered into contract with a thrash metal band from the US. [When the contact person] realised his error (well, in fact, he sent our team a link to Wikipedia of Cynic US and asked if that was us), and when receiving the negative response, binned us from the show.\"
