Progressive rock/metal band CYNIC will release its new album, "Kindly Bent To Free Us", on February 14, 2014 via Season Of Mist. Songtitles set to appear on the effort, which was recorded at Perfect Sound studios in Hollywood, California with engineer Jason Donaghy, include "Endlessly Bountiful", "Moon Heart Sun Head" and "True Hallucination Speak".
The cover artwork for "Kindly Bent To Free Us" can be seen below.
The group's drummer, Sean Reinert, previously stated in an online posting: "Some people are gonna be pissed and others are gonna say 'thank you!!!' I'm with the latter!"
He added: "It's a bold new sound for CYNIC and marks a gigantic leap in the band's progression."

J'ai pu écouter l'album en entier, il est absolument superbe. Et ceux qui se demandent, oui, tout est dans le même esprit que l'extrait ci-dessus. Ne cherchez pas de voix death, très peu de vocoder, et cette superbe production naturelle. Un des albums de l'année 2014 assurément
N'étant pas fan de death technique (et de death en général), je n'avais jamais jeté une oreille sur ce groupe. Vos commentaires et cette dernière chanson m'ont intrigué, du coup là je m'envoie "Traced in the air" et je trouve ça vraiment sympa !

Je vais lui accorder pas mal d'écoutes, il y' a quelques passages sublimes, et d'autres pour le moment qui me touchent moins ("The Lion's Roar" notamment).
R.I.P Ronnie James Dio !

C'est hors-musical, mais Sean Reinert et Paul Masvidal évoquent publiquement leur homosexualité :
Former DEATH and current CYNIC members Paul Masvidal (guitar, vocals) and Sean Reinert (drums), who are both gay, have spoken out for the first time about their sexuality in the context of their music.
Masvidal, 43, who had come out to friends and family in 1991, and later began exploring drag bars and gay nightclubs while on tour, told the Los Angeles Times, "It's one thing to make out with your bandmates and just 'play gay' because it's edgy. It's another thing to actually live it."
Reinert, 42, who took a bit longer to come out, said: "I knew that, secretly, I wanted to go to those clubs too. But back then, my stereotype of how to be gay was wearing dresses and tank tops. I didn't have any masculine, metal rôle models who were gay."
He added: "I went on a date with this one awful guy who blogged about it on his web site. So for years, if you typed my name into Google, the second thing that came up, after 'Sean Reinert Drummer,' was 'Sean Reinert Gay.'"
Masvidal and Reinert admitted to the Los Angeles Times that they were nervous about coming out publicly. "There's definitely going to be a reaction, but it's important that we be truthful," Masvidal said.
"Gay people are everywhere, doing every job, playing every kind of music and we always have been," Reinert added. "It's taken me years to finally be brave enough to say, 'If you have a problem with that, then throw out our records. That's your problem, not mine.'"

Rien de nouveau en tout cas, tout le monde le sait depuis bien longtemps. Ce qui ne change rien au fait que gay, ou pas, je n'ai jamais supporté ce groupe.
