If you haven't heard of Cynic or this album even, you deserve to be shot. I'm not a huge prog person. I dig the obscure and intense kind of prog stuff. This is just mellow metal to listen to when relaxed. But I love it. This album has some death metal influences too but not enough to be a straight up technical death metal album. Cynic are a progressive metal/jazz fusion band from Miami, Florida and have been around since 1987. They broke up in 1994 and recently reformed in 2006. They've got two albums, this one and "Traced In Air". Personally, I prefer this one but a lot of people I've talked to like Traced the most. They started out with two thrash metal demos but became this instead and as much as I love thrash metal, I'm glad they chose to do this.
