BOX UP CYNIC’S BONES

Cynic EP Carbon-Based Anatomy

So, oh, hey, you might have heard about this, but Cynic closed our festival this past Saturday night. It was only the second show for the band’s new line-up, but they killed, and the new material from their forthcoming EP, Carbon-Based Anatomy, just KILLED. Then Paul Masvidal said some very nice things about our website from the stage, and then I fainted, and when I woke up, it was over and everyone had gone home.

ANYWAY, one of those new songs from Carbon-Based Anatomy, is now streaming at NPR, and it’s freakin’ great, and you need to go listen to it. It is accompanied by a very nice interview with Mr. Masvidal, too, so really just get your ass to NPR right now.

Carbon-Based Anatomy comes out November 15 via Season of Mist; if for some reason you’re still convinced that you need to own it, please read my review here.

    I am pretty sure you meant to write “if for some reason you’re not yet convinced that you need to own it…”

    I love Cynic, I really do, but the new EP doesn’t really do much for me. And that makes me sad.

      that song leaves me feeling the same actually, hope the rest has more to offer.

        Chances are it probably won’t. Some people had it grow on them; I had no such luck.

        Well considering they’ve released all the actual songs from the EP….

  • that douche

    anyone else think Masvidal sounds like he has a cold while trying to sing with an english accent?  just me?

    Worst Cynic performance ever, so bizarre…maybe they are doing too much drugs

      You suck, I’ve seen them 4 times and they were as good as ever.

    I saw their first show with the new lineup. Was killer. New guitarist is quite shy on stage. Surprised they brought the girl that sings on some of their songs. That was nice.
