Press

"On the basis of Traced In Air, more so than it's predecessor 'Focus', Cynic should be understood not so much alongside any metal bands, but along with such radical harmonic progressives in the last 45 years of pop and jazz as Milton Nascimento, the Beach Boys or Pat Metheny."
- The New York Times: 2008 Critics Choice


"Traced In Air's cleaner sound owes more to prog gods Mahavishnu Orchestra and King Crimson than to death metal proper."
- Revolver


"...there is nothing like this out there. Period. Focus was groundbreaking for a reason. Traced In Air once again proves that original music can still be written. Best album of 2008? Hell, try one of the best albums of the decade. Get this."
- Guitar World - Metal Kult


"How do you follow a timeless classic? Wait 15 years and make another one! Traced In Air is a sublime, otherworldly monument to artistry, inspiration and music itself!"
- Metal Hammer


"The music seems to breathe, exciting our lungs during it's heaviest moments, then halting our exhale as it transitions into twinkling starry atmospheres until -- suddenly the boundary is erased. The band's two most distinctive elements had previously been wrestling in a heated love-affair and are now eloped in a startling symbiosis."
- Metal Sucks


Voted 1 Album of 2008 - "Traced In Air comes off as a single, coherent piece and should be heard and experienced as such. Listen to it in its entirety and not out of sequence, because this is as close to perfection as you get."
- Ultimate Guitar


"Cynic have shown the world what it truly means to be a progressive metal band. All the songs on the album pick you up off your feet and carry you where you can be lost in the music, only to thrown into a tornado of organized chaos which leaves you breathless just set you back down on your feet a few moments later."
- WKNC


"The long anticipated follow up only reinforces their place in progressive music history."
- Dangerdog.com
