CYNIC drummer Sean Reinert has issued the following update:

“We are currently finishing up mixing the last two songs for the new CYNIC album with Warren Riker and could not be happier. It is really sounding amazing. I’m loving my drum sound! Paul’s [Masvidal, guitar/vocals] guitar tones are really killer. [Sean] Malone [bass] came down from Missouri for four days and tracked some great bass and stick lines. Tymon [Kruidenier, guitar/vocals] arrived [from Holland] last weekend and is now part of the fold. His growls and guitars are sounding sick!! We’ve been in a Glendale studio for almost 4 1/2 weeks now and yet I feel like we’ve been here a year! After we finish tomorrow night we will sit and live with the songs for a week before proceeding on to mastering. Right after that we start our rehearsals for the summer European mini-tour so keep a lookout for dates.”

Is this band Post-Grunge? The way they dress - they remind me of Alice in Chains.

I am curious to hear this. I wonder how much it will favor jazz, with these guys being away from metal for so long.

It has been 15 years since Focus lets hope that a reunion album doesn't ruin the whole thing for them. Mercyful Fate were gods after their only 2 albums Melissa and Don't Break the Oath, but then they broke up and than got back together about 9 years later and put out a reunion album, and they were all decent at best, reunion albums are dangerous. Mercyful Fate lost their godliness after attempts lets just hope that doesn't happen to Cynic.

Lol @ Txmetalhead - never judge a book by it's cover.

For those concerned - the album will probably be lighter than Focus but won't stray to far. Apart from Reinert talking about some really brutal parts on the new album there's a 3 track demo floating about for the new album which is awesome. Think more "Celestial Voyage" than "Uroboric Forms" though.
