Cynic

Cynic is an American progressive rock band. Starting as a thrash metal band in 1987, they transitioned into a more progressive direction, incorporating various styles into their music, resulting in the album ”Focus” in 1993. After a hiatus, they reunited in 2006, releasing ”Traced in Air” in 2008. Following ”Kindly Bent to Free Us” in 2014, there was another brief break. In 2021, their latest release, ”Ascension Codes,” came out as a pure progressive rock album. Despite having been in Norway only a few times before, they are now ready for their first appearance at Inferno Metal Festival.
