Cynic - Line-Up Changes


US metallers Cynic have issued the following update on their official website:

"Dear Cynic Fans,

We're announcing a change in the band's lineup this winter. After much soul-searching and discussion, Cynic will say goodbye to bassist Robin Zielhorst and guitarist Tymon Kruidenier. This decision was reached mutually, with great respect for each other as people and the work that we've done over the past 2-3 years. The logistical challenges of maintaining a band that is half based in The Netherlands and the other half in the United States (drummer Sean Reinert and guitarist Paul Masvidal live in California), has become unworkable. The pre-production stages for Cynic's next release have just begun and it seemed like an appropriate time to define the next chapter of the band. The new Cynic release is coming in summer 2011 on the Season Of Mist label.

Paul Masvidal comments: "Tymon and Robin are great guys whose hard work made it possible for Cynic to get back out on the road and tour the world with Traced In Air. I'm really grateful for their contribution and presence, and look forward to seeing where their talents and music will take them next."

Robin Zielhorst comments: "It has been an honor to play and perform in Cynic. Tymon and I would like to thank Paul and Sean for the opportunity and to especially thank the fans for their support and for warmly welcoming us into the Cynic family. We look forward to seeing you all on the road soon."

Cynic's immediate plan is to continue writing and do pre-production for their new record. They are also working towards a remixed re-release of their classic recording Focus. Robin and Tymon plan to work on a new release from their band Exivious, which will likely be recorded in Tymon's new soon-to-be completed recording studio."

I still have hope... but I wonder why they are going to screw with the perfection of Focus.

Really bad news, i liked tymon's performance in the last album and also live was great.

I wholeheartedly agree with you! Just my thoughts when I saw the last sentence of this news, Exivious are a really nice band, so I hope they will release another album in the future. About Cynic, well, they are good, but they should form another band hahaha, maybe a progressive rock band called "The Cynics" or something.

Mixed on this. More Exivious is great, but Tymon and Robin seemed to work pretty well with Cynic.

I guess I'll just sit back and wait and see how it turns out for Cynic, and look forward to more Exivious.
