So the bad news here is that Cynic is still broken up, or maybe broken up. It's still not exactly clear what the hell the fate of Cynic is, but there's a little good news! You can finally own the band's Demo 1988, Demo 1990, Demo 1991, and Reflections Of A Dying World (1989) all on CD or vinyl come February 10! As an added bonus, the final two tracks on the compilation are "Uroboric Forms" and "The Eagle Nature," though they're Brian DeNeffe of Viogression's tryout tracks from way back when.
As far as I know, this is the first time these recordings are available in a physical format other than cassette, which is pretty awesome!
"This complete collection contains tracks from all 4 demo releases Cover artwork was done by Manuel Tinnemans (The Devil’s Blood, Necros Christos, Bölzer), and the vinyl has been remastered for vinyl by Patrick W. Engel (Iced Earth, Dissection, Tiamat, etc.) for optimal listening quality."
There's been no official announcement of this compilation yet either, so who knows if Sean Reinert, Paul Masvidal, and Sean Malone are all aware of this… but it's available through Century Media's IndieMerch and Nuclear Blast's German store, so it's not like it's unauthorized to whatever extent (it seems).
You can pre-order either release here or on Amazon.
