Biography

The music of Cynthesis is created by musicians who are influenced by progressive, cinematic rock and metal music.

Twin brothers, Jasun and Troy Tipton, - along with Erik Rosvold - released two albums with the progressive metal act Zero Hour. The band's second album, The Towers Of Avarice (released by The Laser's Edge/Sensory label) won sparkling reviews from nearly every magazine around the world. The band quickly established a solid fan base around the world. Zero Hour successfully toured Europe and performed twice at Prog Power USA, the largest prog metal music festival in the world, in Atlanta. In 2003, fans were dissapointed when Zero Hour parted ways with Erik Rosvold. Both Metamorphosis and The Towers Of Avarice were considered progressive metal classics.

In late 2007, Jasun began writing material for Cynthesis. As the music developed Jasun could only imagine one vocalist to really connect to the material. After one phone call both Jasun and Erik were very excited to work together again. The final piece of the puzzle was to find an amazing drummer. Jasun asked Troy what drummer he would like to work with. Without any hesistation Troy said "Sean Flanegan is the guy". Sean's been a longtime friend and played drums on Jasun's 2000 instrumental release, Night's Pulse. Sean is best know for his amazing work with the progressive rock band Enchant.

DeEvolution tells the story of an elite group of leaders from a heavily industrialized city who find, brainwash and then exploit an indigenous tribe's shaman, believing he would be the perfect supreme leader. By propping him up as possessing all the answers to society's ills, the elites use him in order to gain and keep more control over the masses. They plan to influence the masses on several fronts: religion, media, consumerism, and government.
