Progressive rock legend CYNIC will be releasing its highly-anticipated new full-length, 'Ascension Codes,' on November 26 via Season of Mist! CYNIC is now sharing a preview clip of the upcoming video for the brand new song, " Sha48* + 6th Dimensional Archetype," which is part of a larger film that will be released at a later date. Watch and listen at THIS LOCATION.
Founding member/guitarist Paul Masvidal comments, "Here’s a preview of ‘6th Dimensional Archetype’ from our new album ‘Ascension Codes’—featuring artwork by Robert Venosa and Martina Hoffman. This album and its forthcoming film immerse us in the Starseed’s journey."
Cynic's Ascension Codes is a remarkably far-reaching work, and if nothing else, a clear indication that they have landed in a place of mastery. The album, paradoxically, acts as both swan song and rebirth. The band has recently released the mind-bending first single, "Mythical Serpents," which can be heard at THIS LOCATION. A video for the song will be coming at a later date... stay tuned!
Pre-orders for 'Ascension Codes' are now live at the Season of Mist E-Shop, the CYNIC Bandcamp, and official CYNIC shop.
ICYMI: Masvidal recently shared a touching tribute to late bassist Sean Malone, who died on December 7, 2020. To commemorate Malone's legacy, CYNIC has released a never-before-heard recorded performance of the song "Integral," in which Malone performs fretless bass. "Integral" was originally released as a solo guitar and vocal track on Cynic's 'Re-Traced' EP. The emotional tribute can be found at THIS LOCATION.
As an act of support, CYNIC is inviting fans to donate as you wish for the "Integral" song download, which comes with a guitar/bass transcription of the song and an instrumental (no bass mix) to play along with. 50 percent of proceeds will be shared with suicide prevention organizations: To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA) and The Trevor Project. The remaining will go towards funding a documentary about the lives and artistry of Sean Malone and Sean Reinert.
