CYNIC Carbon Based Anatomy - 2011 US CD EP release from Prog-Metallers
Format: CD EP Condition: New Year of Release: 2011 Cat. No.: 0312362 Label: Season Of Mist
2011 CD EP from legendary progressive Metaller.
On 'Carbon-Based Anatomy', CYNIC has once again taken its natural interfusion of musical styles and turned it into something truly singular. The EP is equal parts KING CRIMSON, TOOL, MUSE and ALLAN HOLDSWORTH. It's a 23-minute transcendent musical journey through the fertile musical minds of guitarist Paul Masvidal and progressive drumming icon Sean Reinert.
Beginning with its much-venerated 1993 debut release 'Focus', CYNIC has long been famous for pushing musical boundaries.
Now in 2011, CYNIC has redefined itself once again with a six-song EP that combines diverse influences from '70s prog rock to cutting-edge metal, tribal folk and futuristic alien shapes and sounds. All of these diverse elements have been harnessed and carefully shaped by mixer John Hiler into what is unquestionably the most open and expansive-sounding release of CYNIC's career.
'Carbon-Based Anatomy' is retro, yet at the same time is unapologetically modern. It is respectful of the groundbreaking artists that have made musical evolution possible yet refuses to be stifled by that reverence. It is wholly appreciative of past musical landmarks but is unashamedly forward- thinking.
