Description

Double album on blacl vinyls with a bonus single and the complete album on cd as bonus. 

Uroboric Forms contains the legendary demos the prog / tech death gods Cynic. All material was recorded prior to the band’s 1993 milestone “Focus” and shows their development from a thrash band to progressive death metal in astonishing fashion. Featuring impressive artwork by Manuel Tinnemans (The Devil’s Blood, Bölzer) as well as rare photos, flyers and detailed liner notes, “Uroboric Forms – The Complete Demo Recordings” is a must for every fan into the legendary Florida scene of the late 80’s/early 90’s. All tracks were carefully remastered and mastered for vinyl by Patrick W. Engel (Iced Earth, Dissection, Tiamat etc.) and as special treat this 56 minutes long collection includes two previously unreleased tracks from a ’91 vocal audition with Viogression singer Brian DeNeffe. “The demos are more like sketches of an early artist. I can hear the thread, at least in my own playing, that’s still in me now. What’s happening in that group, on those demos, is still happening to me now. I can hear the through-line. Like, “Oh, wow! I’m still doing that!” The voice was always there. Now, it’s more refined, articulate, and precise. I could never get back to the demos. It’s a time and space, relative to it. It’s a snapshot of who we were then. It’s a document. That’s the beauty of it.”
– Paul Masvidal (August 2016)
