Cynic and Death drummer Sean Reinert passed away on January 24 after being found unresponsive in his home. Tributes across the metal community began pouring in, including from members of Cynic.
Now vocalist and guitarist Paul Masvidal has paid tribute as well with his touching words.
I am shocked and saddened by the loss of one of my oldest friends. We were karmic brothers, connected by something beyond both of us. So many memories have been flooding my heart and mind. From the moment I first met Sean in junior high school, I knew we had a connection. His gifts were beyond measure, and I’m grateful that we were able to make music together. In the end, all that remains is love, and that’s what I have for Sean. There will never be another one like him. Peace to his family and all of his fans around the world. Listen to Sean play his drums and hear his heart sing.
