ABOUT THIS BAND

Cynic’s music is resistant to summary descriptions associated with “genre” and “style”. Cynic belongs more to a principle than a genre: one determined to pursue truth, is dedicated to integrity, and bears the two with all its strength.   Cynic should be understood not so much alongside any metal bands, but along with such radical harmonic progressives in the last 45 years of pop and jazz as Milton Nascimento, the Beach Boys or Pat Metheny. - The New York Times   Cynic's legacy challenges the listener to comprehend, by opening more doors than it closes and posing more questions than obvious answers -- and what could be more "progressive" than that? - Billboard   The restraint, complexity and vocal melodies heard on Traced In Air rivaling Discipline-era King Crimson and exuding the otherworldliness of Allan Holdsworth, yielding the most exciting prog album in years... - Decibel   If you listen to Focus now, it’s difficult to tell which era it was recorded in. It has no hallmarks of any particular time, drawing, as it does, from things going all the way back to jazz’s ‘60s renaissance, while feeling like music being beamed to Earth by some distant future race. At whatever present point you’re in, it holds up there too. - Jeff Wagner, author of Mean Deviation   Kindly Bent to Free Us is an album that transcends all the limitations of genre and era… there are few albums which can claim such a remarkable hold. - Prog Magazine UK
