[Progressive/Metal]So it should be no surprise to anyone that knows me well that I posted this immediately after posting Mastodon, considering they are my two favorite metal bands.
This is the second release from prog-metal geniouses Cynic, and it took them 15 years to make.
Instead of explaining the complicated story of Cynic's split and reunion, I'll just stick to the album at hand, Traced In Air.
I'll let singer/guitarrist Paul Masvidal's explination suffice:
The album is an intensely concentrated mosaic of internal and external energies, from the deepest peace to the purest aggression. There's an acquired taste that comes with a record of this density, but once your ears wrap themselves around the language at work, everything falls into place and suddenly you'll feel a sudden urge to sing, scream or maybe even cry. The album has a beginning, middle and end. The story will reveal itself after numerous listens and then you may not want to let go. Besides Reinert and I, Tymon brought some new life force and magic to the record with fierce growling and poetic guitar sensibilities. Malone also did a fine job with the low end, grooving away with Reinert in a pocket land from hell!
-Paul Masvidal. (Amazing guy by the way.)
The album is an intense mixture of heaviness and melody.
Basically, If Metal and Jazz had a baby, it's favorite album would be Traced In Air.
Masterpiece.
Ps. Also, get their 1993 release Focus.
Stop listening to shitty Dragonforce, and get some good metal in your life! =D
