Florida, United States (1987 – 1994, 2007 – present)

There are two artists called Cynic.

1. Formed in Florida, United States in 1987, Cynic is a band that recorded a few demos before moving to a highly complex form of influenced / , manifested in their seminal album, 1993’s Focus, which for over a decade was the band’s only official release.

Cynic disbanded in 1994 due to artistic differences while working on their second album, but regrouped in 2007 to perform a series of shows. The reunion was successful, with the group also performing a new song, entitled PlayEvolutionary Sleeper, a composition in the unique style of Focus. This was a harbinger of things to come, as the group recorded two additional tracks, PlayIntegral Birth and PlayAdam’s Murmur and then signed a contract with Season of Mist for two albums. Their second album, Traced in Air, was released on November 17, 2008 in Europe and November 25, 2008 in North America.

Cynic’s ground-breaking and pioneering footprint on the world of progressive metal continues to influence and bands to these days. Members of Cynic have also participated in the projects Portal, Æon Spoke, Aghora, Exivious and Gordian Knot.
