Florida, USA technical metal legends CYNIC have announced the band has broken up, again..Members of CYNIC will continue with individual musical endeavors.
CYNIC unleashed "Kindly Bent to Free Us", 2/14/2014 via SEASON OF MIST.
FROM CYNIC:
It is with a heavy heart that I post today's CYNIC news. CYNIC is no
longer an active band. Due to artistic and personal differences, the
second chapter in the ‘BOOK OF CYNIC’ has come to an end.
I will
say the last shows we played in JAPAN have left me with a positive
charge, even though they were the last live performances with Paul, Sean
Malone & I on the same stage. My longstanding creative partnership
with Paul, which started when we were very young kids in south Florida,
has simply endured so much friction that there is no way, from my
perspective, that CYNIC can be salvaged, repaired or kept afloat by any
means.
I profusely
apologize to the fans who were not only expecting us in China &
Taiwan (that was not our fault), but to the fans who were planning to
see us in Europe next month. These things happen, unfortunately, to
bands. There can be differing levels of conflicts and/or differences in
opinions, musical directions, or perspectives. Sometimes these things
are insurmountable, and no amount of time or effort can resolve them.
This is the case with CYNIC.
This page will stay up, and of
course there are our respective personal pages and websites that will
continue to let everyone know what we’re doing individually.
I wish all of you love & peace.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
