Quality technical metal connoisseurs and open-minded music-lovers in general will be delighted to hear that Florida's legendary CYNIC have returned to creative power after a successful European re-union tour in the summer of 2007 and will soon be recording a new album, their second after 1993's genre-shattering "Focus" debut.

CYNIC founding members Paul Masvidal (guitars / vocals) and Sean Reinert (drums), who both gained reputation and praise while performing alongside Chuck Schuldiner and DEATH in the recording and touring lineup for the milestone album "Human", are currently in Sanford, Florida, working on the mix for three new demo tracks together with producer Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, CHIMAIRA, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DEVILDRIVER, etc.) at his own Audiohammer Studios. The three new tracks are entitled "Integral Birth", "Evolutionary Sleeper" and "Adam's Murmur", but Masvidal and Reinert have already written a full album's worth of new material and the band will use the demo to begin talks with record companies about a 2008 release.

Masvidal comments, "I'm amazed that we're here again, and that is a testament to the unpredictable beauty of the creative process. We received so much inspiration during last summer's reunion tour that a flood of new material has since poured out of us. There must be a default metal root in us from childhood that insists on being watered and loved, so we're just trying to keep up with ourselves — the CYNIC sirens are screaming inside and won't let up! Our policy has always been about surrendering to what feels most organic and staying in the flow. To put it mildly, this last year has been a creatively abundant and productive period. We're intoxicated about now and the future."

More news on CYNIC's recording and touring plans will soon be announced, and a new website will soon be launched at www.cyniconline.com.
 
This new Cynic will be the best album of 2008/2009/2010.

Know I fucking called it.
 
honestly i'm not too pumped about this new album. reunions are good to see bands live but can all these bands just jump right back into where they were back before they broke up and create a new great album? the only one i've thought was good was back by artillery and that wasn't amazing.
 
yeah, I don't know how good the album will be.

I'm sure it will rule, but Focus is top 5 all time material.

I'm just thankful they got together and I was able to see them live at least once in my life.
I had a hard on for like 3 days after the show.

The thing is, though... these guys have all done a lot of other stuff and grown a whole lot musically, and while the 'reunion' as in 'hey look at us we did that one single in 1972 that maybe five people listened to because it got them laid' shit does get old I really don't see this stuff going formulaic or run-of-the-mill very easily.

EDIT: I don't know if 'jump right back into where they were' is appropriate here because Cynic did only have one album and it's only a small part of what each of them has done. Cynic is one of those rare bands that has had to be posthumously declared a supergroup. END EDIT
