Line 11:

Oh, you mean Cynic the ''band''.

Cynic is a band from Miami, Florida. Their music could best be described as a combination of [[Progressive Metal]], [[Technical Death Metal]], and [[Jazz]] Fusion. They were formed in the late 1980s by guitarist/vocalist Paul Masvidal and drummer Sean Reinert (both of whom played in [[Death (~~Music~~)|Death]] at one point) as a [[Thrash Metal]] band. A notable early member of Cynic was bassist Tony Choy, who later joined fellow Florida group [[Atheist]]. After recording several demos and developing their style more towards their current sound, they signed to Roadrunner Records and recorded their debut album ''Focus'', considered a landmark of [[Technical Death Metal]].

Cynic broke up in late 1994 and the members went on to various other musical projects. Paul and Sean reformed the band with a new line-up in 2006; this was followed by extensive touring, a second album, ''Traced in Air'', and an EP, ''Re-Traced''.
