US TOUR DONE, GETTING READY FOR ALBUM NUMBER 3!
Dear Cynic family,
We'd like to thank you guys for making our first ever US headlining tour a great success and a lot of fun for us personally! Not only did we have a great time performing a set list this extensive, there was also a real family vibe going on behind the scenes between us, our crew and the guys from Intronaut and Dysrhythmia.
As we are wrapping up our touring cycle for Traced In Air and Re-Traced with this successful tour, it's time to get ready for album number 3! The first baby steps into this gigantic process are being taken right now, creating little embryos of songs that will turn into fully fledged CYNIC tunes over the course of the following months, exciting!
All the best,
CYNIC

RE-TRACED / RE-FOCUSED LIVE!
Decibel Magazine and Cynic are proud to announce the inaugural Hall of Fame tour! Historic in every sense, the Hall of Fame tour, titled Re-Traced / Re-Focused Live, will see progressive metal icons Cynic perform Hall of Fame album Focus in its entirety, along with tracks from the group’s lauded second album, Traced in Air, and more. Direct support comes from progressive masters Intronaut and Dysrhythmia.
“We’re not only excited about this Hall Of Fame tour with Decibel, we’re committed to giving Cynic fans a unique and memorable concert experience unlike ever before,” says Cynic frontman/guitarist Paul Masvidal. “Focus will be performed in its entirety from start to finish, along with Traced in Air and beyond. It’s going to be a journey directly into Cynic’s pulsating, vibrant heart.”
“Decibel is honored to have a band of the caliber and historical significance of Cynic to headline our inaugural Hall of Fame tour,” added Decibel Editor-in-Chief Albert Mudrian. “Their Focus album has withstood the test of time like few other records, and I’m thrilled that death and progressive metal fans can experience its live power on this special tour.”

CYNIC RE-DRAWN
Upcoming release: RE-TRACED
Release date: May 17th, US May 18th
RE-TRACED, CYNIC's upcoming EP made of four remakes of songs from the TRACED IN AIR album, a previously unreleased track and a video, is set for a May 17th release. Here is the artwork and tracklisting:
1. Space
2. Evolutionary
3. King
4. Integral
5. Wheels Within Wheels
Frontman Paul Masvidal comments: "The artwork on the EP takes Venosa's original song paintings from the TRACED IN AIR booklet and reinterprets them by extracting the basic outlines, almost appearing as though they are etched in wood. Travis Smith helped manifest these conceptions graphically. The idea was to have the 'tracing' of the original work in tact, so it almost morphs into a simple line drawing of the sculptural shapes found in Venosa's work. The end result appears like unearthed, archival etchings from an alien planet."

Decibel Magazine inducts Cynic's 'Focus' into its Hall of Fame
"Focus almost never happened. Hurricane Andrew (a Category 5 storm that devastated South Florida in 1992), bassists frequently exiting and three separate visits to Morrisound Studios could’ve cost the world Cynic. Despite Andrew—considered a blessing by vocalist/guitarist Paul Masvidal—the setbacks and Roadrunner Records’ visionless disposition, the Miami-based quartet persevered, crafting eight exhilarating, uncommonly technical songs that would spark death metal anew. Unlike any before (Death’s Human comes close) and after (Gorguts’ Obscura righteously bends minds), Focus dropped jaws, defied expectations and expanded horizons. The problem was that too few outside the band—from fans to label reps—understood Cynic’s sophisticated, barely metal musical language." -Decibel
