Oh dear. I just splooged in my pants. It has been officially announced that MESHUGGAH and CYNIC will be hitting the road together in 2009 for a full U.S. tour. Stop pinching yourself, you are not dreaming. And, we have a bit of exclusive news to report on this. We can confirm that the opening [...]
Mesuggah and Cynic are teaming up for a North American tour. I'm not even gonna try and be witty or clever or tell you how awesome this is; you either get it, or you don't, and if you don't, well, more tickets for the rest of us. I had to read the press release like [...]
2008 has been a fucking great year for metal, and in due time - Monday, Dec. 15, to be exact - Axl, myself and the rest of the writers of MetalSucks will all release our Top 10 year-end lists so you can incessantly argue over which great album was left off or tell us we're [...]
15 years after their last studio release, a famously elusive metal metal band with an enormously influential debut has followed up. That's right, boys and girls, it's the rabidly anticipated comeback album from...Cynic. On 1993's Focus, some Florida-based musicians (including guitarist Paul Masvidal and drummer Sean Reinart, both formerly of Death) demolished four or five musical [...]
Come tutti i venerdì torniamo a parlare delle uscite discografiche della settimana. Va premesso che è cominciata l'invasione di raccolte, best, greatest hits che da qui a Natale riempiranno gli scaffali dei negozi. Tra queste cercheremo di segnalare giusto le più interessanti come quelle, già citate su queste pagine, di Giorgia e Craig David , per citarne un paio in vendita da oggi. Arrivano poi l'annunciata nuova edizione arricchita dell'ultimo dei Coldplay , i live (cd+dvd) dei Negramaro e dei Linkin Park oltre all'atteso, controverso, rimandato, [...]
So I finally got through this pile of CDs on my desk from French metal label Season of Mist. Other than being the label who released Cynic's fantastic reunion album Traced In Air, turns out they've got a diverse roster of oddball metal bands. Rather than do you all a disservice by failing to accurately [...]
We're just in that sort of mood today. So how about a metal round up? Last week, Thursday and Envy unleashed a weighty split on Temporary Residence, with Rickley and co. reminding us why Full Collapse was such a hit, and the manic-metaloids of Envy offering up three hefty love letters to dynamics and [...]
Num mês bem agitado, em que se editaram ainda discos de Os Pontos Negros, The Guys from the Caravan, Flirt, Samuel Úria, b (fachada), Long Desert Cowboy, Bunnyranch, Waste Disposal Machine, Most People Have Been Trained To Be Bored, Madredeus & A Banda Cósmica, Minta, Blasfemea e On a Plain, entre outros, eis algumas das boas novidades, entretanto já experimentadas: Noiserv - "One Hundred Miles from Thoughtlessness" (Edição de Autor/Merzbau) - Desarmante; disse-o há dias por aqui sobre este mesmo disco. No mesmo sítio, dizia que chegava [...]
The Phillies won the World Series, it's Halloween, and we have a U.S. presidential election coming up in less than a week. But what's happening in metal is obviously way more important: Living Colour ruled. As always. Mastodon announced the title and tracklisting of their new album. We spoke with Cynic's Paul Masvidal and Today Is the Day's [...]
Entretanto... ....entretanto, amanhã , a Junta de Freguesia de Corroios prepara-se para editar o EP respeitante à vitória dos The Cynicals na edição de 2007 do Festival de Música Moderna de Corroios. Grupo nascido em 2004, neste disco ainda formados por JMacías - voz (hoje, já não é elemento da banda), JRebola - voz e guitarra, Cami - guitarra e coros, João Baptista - baixo, Luis Du'Arte - piano, orgão e coros e Richy Gallagher - bateria, os The Cynicals colocaram finalmente em disco toda a magia rock cabaret que brilhantemente espalharam pelos diversos concursos [...]
The one CD I cannot get out of my rotation is CYNIC's new disc, Traced In Air, which is just all kinds of amazing, I can't even begin to describe it. The disc is available for download now on iTunes and will be released in stores November 25th. All I keep thinking about is when [...]
Cynic guitarist/vocalist Paul Masvidal was one of the chillest metal dudes I've ever met. When I sat down with him at a busy New York City diner as one of many journalists cycling through his busy day of press, he was completely calm, cool, collected and unphased by the relative pandemonium surrounding him. He was [...]
A few of these releases kind of snuck up on me. Or completely caught me off guard. I didn't even know Lovedrug , Bloc Party and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez were working on new albums. And a Rodrigo y Gabriela live album? Yes please! And all the releases I've already heard aren't impressing me (yet): Ryan Adams and the Cardinals , Emery and Ruth . I'm especially hoping Cardinology grows on me, because I have a big fat Ryan Adams man-crush. [...]
Cynic - Traced In Air Release date: Oct. 28, 2008 [ amazon.com ] The almost-symmetrical, "like, so trippy maaan" designs are normally reserved for drugged-out doom bands, but Cynic gets a special dispensation for being high on the whole mystic God-consciousness thing. Just like the first time around . Not bad looking, but I give them a free pass for no scene chicks or bloody guns or arty photography — to go hand in hand in showing the breakdown-worshipping n00bs how to write a song [...]
Reunited progressive metallurgists Cynic — the Floridian forefathers of tech-minded prog metal, and the proud parents of 1993's landmark Focus — will unveil their first album in 15 years October 28th. Due via French powerhouse Season of Mist, Traced In Air is an eight song tour de force of twisted time-signatures, mind-bending riffs [...]
DOWNLOAD : Cynic - "Integral Birth" (MP3) DOWNLOAD : Darkthrone - "Hiking Metal Punks" (MP3) DOWNLOAD: Architect - Death & Taxes (Rough Mix) (MP3) Cynic We kick things off with the reunited prog-death of Cynic and their new record, Traced In Air , due on Season of Mist on Oct 28th. Traced In Air [...]
Fifteen years after turning heads with their jazz-metal cornerstone Focus, Cynic's storied follow-up album no longer looks like a Chinese Democracy. The Miami-based band's new album Traced in Air) is scheduled to be released October 28. Now we get the first full-length new song, "Integral Birth," which is you can listen to at the bottom [...]
Those uproarious chaps over at Metal Inquisition have compiled what they claim to be the Ultimate Florida Death Metal Mix (and, really, it's tough to argue with them). The maverick known only as "Gene Hoglan's Balls" writes: "I love all kinds of death metal, but if I had to pick just one to listen to for [...]
It has been 15 years since Cynic released their first and only full length, Focus, and it seems almost impossible that they could have known what a legend this debut would become. Though I was much too young to have had any awareness of it, I can only imagine what kind of heads were turned [...]
