Cynic - Kindly Bent To Free Us [VINYL]

Cynic's vinyl reissues including bonus material to be released via Svart Records in February 2025 American progressive metal band Cynic's 2014 album Kindly Bent to Free Us 10 year anniversary edition out in February! Cynic was formed in Miami, Florida by Paul Masvidal and Sean Reinert in 1987, blending elements of progressive rock, alternative, and metal. Their third full length offering Kindly Bent to Free Us is the final Cynic album to feature original drummer Sean Reinert and long time member Sean Malone on bass, who both passed away in 2020. Originally released on a 2LP version and mastered at 45rpm, Svart Records in cooperation with Cynic now proudly present the single LP edition of the album including a bonus track Earth Is My Witness for the first time on vinyl and a booklet with linter notes by Martin Popoff, lyrics, notation to the song Kindly Bent to Free Us, and more. Paul Masvidal comments the reissue: "Kindly Bent to Free Us is reborn on vinyl for its 10th anniversary. This record holds a special place in my heart for many reasons. First, the songs and the journey they take, exploring inner realms as represented by the cover art. Then, there are the arrangements-raw and explosive-which R. Walt Vincent was so good at capturing the live energy we shared as a trio in the rehearsal room when these ideas were developed. There's also something poignant about this being the last record the three of us would make together. It's exciting to finally see The Earth is My Witness, which was previously only a bonus track on the box set, brought into this format for the first time." "If I'm giving anyone a heart-shaped box this year, that thing will have a copy of the freshly purchased Cynic album, Kindly Bent to Free Us in it. I personally feel like this is a much more grand gesture of love than any other." -Daniel Cordova, Metal Injection, 2014 Kindly Bent to Free Us is available on Svart exclusive Yellow/Red/White marble vinyl, limited Yellow/Black Smoke vinyl, and classic Black vinyl on February 14th, 2025, eleven years to the day of its original release!
