Cynic will release a new EP titled Re-Traced on May 18 that I and I know many other prog fans have been looking forward to. Ever since the release of Traced In Air, we the fans have been eagerly awaiting to see what these masterminds have planned for us. While the EP will not consist of new work, it will have four of the best songs re-imagined by the band, as well as one new track. I got to hear this one track live, and I instantly fell in love with it. The song was "Wheels Within Wheels", and it is an epic spiraling song of beauty with guitars and drums woven together to make a tapestry you can lose yourself in. Cynic only seems to be getting better with each album, and they are turning out to be one of the most creative bands to tour and release music. They constantly evolve and don't let the idea of genre force them to write music they don't want to. I cannot wait for this EP to come out, and I certainly cannot wait for the new full length to come out. Let us just hope we don't have to wait another 15 years for a new album. I have included at the bottom, fan footage taken of their new song. I apologize for the sound quality, but thanks to MetalInjection.com for having a good version, because apparently mine is to big of a file size.
Cynic-\"Wheels Within Wheels\"
I just got my copy of the Re-Traced ep and I totally dig it. It's great to hear four songs from TIA with the beauty of their melodies and Paul Masvidal's mind-bending lyrics in a purer form. The new song Wheels is totally cool. More great stuff from Cynic.
