Death Metal, Progressive |
Of the many bands that appeared in the Florida death metal craze in the late 80s/early 90s, Cynic is often overlooked, but not forgotten.

Of the many bands that appeared in the Florida death metal craze in the late 80s/early 90s, Cynic is often overlooked, but not forgotten. Many believe that Florida consisted of the heavier, gore-ridden side of death metal. While this is partly true, the lesser known bands took their music into new territory, exploring new abilities and invoking thought. Cynic, alongside Death and Atheist, is the forerunner to this experimental side of death metal. Instead of sheer heaviness, Cynic incorporates jazz and ambient sections into their music while maintaining a level of technicality that is unheard of. Before splitting up in the mid 90s, Cynic left with merely one album, Focus, which stands as a testament to the opportunities of death metal.
In 2007, Cynic reunited to do a couple shows across Europe. Their new album entitled 'Traced In Air' has been recorded and was released November 17 in Europe and November 25 in American in 2008.
Current Lineup:
Paul Masvidal - Vocals, Guitars
Sean Reinert - Drums, Keyboards
Sean Malone - Bass, Chapman Stick
Tymon Kruidenier - Guitar, Vocals
Robin Zielhorst - Bass (Tour Only)
