I cried a bit when Paul mentioned losing the seans, he’s a personal friend of mine and it still saddens me deeply when I think of what that was like for him.
Cynic was my gateway band from being just a metalhead to exploring jazz music, classical, and cultural musics from all over the world. Such an influential act too, so many current titans in metal cite these guys as innovators and inspirations
Same but I could never find anything as amazing as Cynic in the jazz.fusion world personally. I did find Exivious through Cynic though and I really enjoy their work and it was some of the first fully instrumental music I could enjoy.
Which has never happened to me :p. Its like wearing my Fates Warning shirt today, I doubt I'll ever see another wear one in the current town I live in (and its not a small booney city & county). Only at Prog Metal shows has that happened.
One time, I walked into a random dispensary in Moreno Valley of all places. Wearing my CBA sweater, while listening to Adam's Murmur. I suddenly hear from behind the counter area, "Is that you playing Cynic?". We shared our appreciation for Cynic for a bit, and he gave me some free edibles. What a cool little connection. Ps. I have a friend who's not really into Cynic. I always try to get him to listen and even bought him Kbtfu. I even sent him this and told him I personally invited him to listen to it. And he just avoids talking about my favorite band. I wonder why. But it doesn't bother me. If Cynic speaks to you, it speaks to you. If it doesn't, it's not for you. This is the most unique and outofthisworld band and I'm just glad to be part of this niche story from the hearts of a Paul and the rest of Cynic, old and new.
This is the most beautifully complex and jazzy metal I've ever heard, honestly. It's not just cool, it somehow manages to hit so hard emotionally despite being so complex, to do this is honestly one of the greatest achievements of all time in music IMO.
I've said this before on another video, but I will say it again, because it is True. Cynic is a band composed entirely of Master Musicians. Their music is transformative and healing on a deeply Spiritual level. They changed my life forever, and I will be forever grateful for that. Rest in Peace Sean Reinert and Sean Malone Godspeed Paul, and Thank you for everything! I am eternally grateful, from the totality of my heart! 💗🌎
I remember reading an interview where Paul said that when writing and arranging Cynic's music, that he and The Seans almost never argued about anything. How is that possible with such "strange" and intricate and layered music?! All is Divinely Guided. Master Musicians from an Alien Race of some kind, surely. 💖💫🙏
You are loved, revered... Your losses are ours! Cynic opened so many doors for me genre wise while being genuinely singular. Unique, not only within metal but music as a whole. Thank you xMx
"They shred like maniacs, but they have nothing to say." Before getting to know Cynic I actually discovered Aeon Spoke first. Paul is simply capable of creating beautiful melodies and songs. Thanks a lot, Audiotree.
This man just continues to provide us with beautiful soundscapes, knowledge, and a simple roadmap for existing. From the music to the wisdom, we all need a little Masvidal in our life.
I grew up listening to cynic and seeing Paul and Sean R play in the local scene. They were a bit older than me growing up and their influence has been a cornerstone in my life. I am so grateful for being a witness of the evolution of cynic and 30 plus years later I am still so enthralled and passionate with their music and ideologies. Thank you 🙏🏽 Cynic! And thank you 🙏🏽 Paul for having the courage to carry on with the Legacy! 👽🫶🏽
Found myself crying here in Chile too when the Sean’s came in spirit while we are were in silence tributing them with Paul… For me, words cannot describe enough how I love this band… Eternal thanks for what was done, being doing, and for what is coming… “All is within You…”
Its amazing they still sound like this. Dont forget, Focus was released in 93 and was in so many ways, quite a boundary pusher. Nothing but admiration for Cynic and Paul. RIP the Seans. The new band does a marvelous job.
I've had the pleasure to talk and hug Paul in Argentina when he came to Latin America with his solo proyect. Coolest and most humble guy on earth. Cynic's music, and all the other ralated proyects they had, had a profound impact in my life. The death of both Sean's was a hard pill to swallow and it inspired me to write a song for them. That is why they've become immortal, because they've touched our souls with their art and we will always have their voices in our hearts. Thanks for everything
So incredibly moving. Paul has such a great ability to inspire others with music and his humble always-a-student approach to art. It was an honor getting to play with them last year and I hope Cynic keeps touring. Best band
Thanks for producing this documentary. It’s a blessing to hear any news from Cynic. Paul is such a deep artist and musician, after 30 years I continue to discover new thing in his music. Of course Sean&Sean won’t be forgotten, they were unique in both writing and performing. And Paul, if you’re reading this, please continue writing for us. You’re a gift!
I'm going through a very painful yet transformative era in my life right now, so I found this video very inspiring. Thank you very much for the wise words.
I've listened to Cynic when I was in high school in 1995. The sound was really fascinated and mysterious unlike the other heavy metal music. I feel elegance from their music.
Goosebumps the entire show.. what a great human being and artist! every time I hear this man my heart opens to receive all the experience and good words he has to offer. Thank you Paul, for everything you have done for the music scene, keep growing and keep thriving, many blessings to you.
Paul Masvidal is a freaking genius. I remember hearing Focus for the first time at a party at my sister's place i think it was 1994. A bandmate of her boyfriend at the time, Geoff said to me, "Hey, check this out". He put Focus in the CD player and Veil of Maya started and i was immediately sucked in. At some point, the house got completely silent and everyone stopped what they were doing and listening. Our minds were completely blown. After the disc stopped, Geoff looked at me and said " You're welcome". Geoff was friends with Sean Malone and had the pleasure of just jamming with him many times. Lucky dude for sure. Focus was on repeat the rest of the night.
I used to be a metal fan in my teens 30-35 years ago. Then I went on to listening to only modern / free / avantgarde jazz. Recently I started to listening to some of my old metal heros again. Cynic is one of these heroes. I love "Focus" and "traced in air". I bought "Ascension codes" recently and love it 😊. Thank to Paul and the Cynic tribe for creating some of My favorit albums.
This is so damn refreshing. Love seeing Paul rebirth the band this way, feels very organic and right. Love that they integrated the growls back in. Top notch performance. 🙏 👽
What a beautiful video. I specifically enjoyed how Max did fry screams on In a Multiverse Where Atoms sing. It really ties it back to the early days. The Seans part made me cry. Thanks for this.
I’ve only had small interactions with Paul on social media, but every time he was really nice, and I have so much respect for him as a musician and for keeping the dream alive all these years.
The message in the final comment is pretty clear and straightforward... It takes time to learn that for sure. Cynic is a unique band and always will be, they found their true voice.
It's spectral brilliance Paul and the entire Cynic sphere. Totally, it is a JAZZ METAL. Thanks to all the humans involved in this interview with a surprise performance.
47 outta Cleveland I miss the 90s death metal days. I grew up going to see Morbid Angel and Entombed. Crazy how fast time goes love this band Sean was a legend on the drums
One of the best bands ever, I was obsessed when I first got Focus. Such a heartbreaking series of losses, starting with Chuck Schuldiner in their extended family.
Wow. This is heartfelt. I've been a fan of Cynic.since the Focus era. And it is like looking back through those years while watching this cool jam. Also, this late 40s me still have a Cynic - Focus shirt. There is a certain energy and confidence whenever I wear them.
AAAAAH!! esto es increible!! gracias a todos los que estuvieron involucrados directa e indirectamente en esto! Cynic es lo mejor de lo mejor! son alucinantes!! muero de amor por este regalo!! abrazos desde Venezuela!!
Saw them in Cincinnati on Focus tour.. Sean set up his drums sideways so we could see the magic happen.. I’ll never forget that.. congrats Paul on many years of brilliant music..
you guys can return to Costa Rica any time, we will be ready for your return. So glad I was able to watch you live, this 3 set songs were the best for my soul. Thanks again Paul.
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Even Paul admits that he doesn't know where the Music comes from, he has said he feels more like an antenna that's receiving the signal that already exists in the aether.
The Sean's might be gone but their legacy will live on forever in the amazing sound waves they created. What they wanted to leave the world with wasn't words, it was music and they achieved that. They have been immortalised in music and I am forever grateful for that.
I really miss Malone and Reinert, but man Brandon and Matt are just incredible! I saw them live and I could not believe how good players they are. Max guitar play and growls are on point, he's awesome. I miss the keyboard player tho. I can't be more happy with this line up! Thanks Audiotree and Thanks Cynic ❤
Been a fan from the beginning and along with the stuff they did with Death shaped death metal. A lot of tech death bands have been influenced by Cyinc. They were and still are different. The 3 of them created magic. Paul will carry their spirit on.
This had to be done one way or the other, truly magical. What a wonderful piece of work. Cynic never disappoints, and Paul is definitely an alien in this world. Proof that memory is fundamental, we'll never forget Sean Reinert and Sean Malone. I'll watch this video over and over again. Thank you all!
@@Metguy123 He's AMAZING on The Zenith Passage too. Fortunate enough to meet him and the rest of Cynic behind stage at the 30th anny Miami show.. some of the nicest and most humble guys ever.
I saw cynic in like 2006 and several other times Every record, every live performance, every time it sounds just like the albums. His vocals live fill the room like a cathedral The entire venue just about levitates. Cynic has always been top shelf grade A sonic offerings
When Focus came out back in the day I got it. It hit me deep and hard emotionally and creatively, it was heartbreaking to see it go nowhere commercially. Their talent and creativity was boundless, it deserves the recognition…
i am from latin america, specifically from venezuela but i have been living in buenos aires, argentina for a decade now, i am a drummer and cynic is one of my favorite bands of all times, i thought i was never going to see them live, not only because they had never come to the continent but also because of the painful departure of sean reinert and sean malone, after knowing that they were coming to play in buenos aires i bought my ticket without thinking about it, a big effort since my work situation was complicated but i was not going to miss it, just a month after buying it and on the eve of a show we had with the incredible british band tesseract i found out that i would be playing also on the date for cynic and beyond creation with my band Pleia, a date that i will never forget, not to get melodramatic as paul says, but there was an incredible connection, thank you cynic, thank you paul, matt lynch, Max Phelps, Ezekiel Kaplan, Brandon Giffin and of course to both of you who were also there, it was an honor to have been there honoring you and being part of the focus anniversary.
I recently saw Cynic live in London and it was truly amazing. The mic kept shocking Paul, but it was still a great show by the band as a whole. Still wild to have been able to see Paul in the flesh after many years of listening to Cynic. Sean and Sean were there in spirit and sound.
I’ll never forget the traced in air tour where they opened up for Meshuggah in Chicago at the house of blues. I bought box tix way in advance because I knew the importance.
This is so beautiful. What a wonderful exploration of creativity, evolution of ones grieving process, and the spirit of Cynic & the Seans. Going to have to watch this one a few times to really absorb it. Many blessings Paul, and the Cynic community!
Paul may have written the skeletons of the demos, but please, do NOT underestimate the contributions made by The Seans throughout the history of Cynic. There would be no Cynic, if not for Sean Reinert, and Sean Malone.

Been a fan since the Focus album, which took some effort to acquire in a sleepy town in early 90s Eastern Europe...a cassette tape of course. This is masterful, thank you Audiotree🙏
Focus is my favourite album to come out of the death metal scene. It’s strangeness, otherworldliness and great musicianship has not lost its attraction after all these years.
Hace unos meses tuve la oportunidad de conocerlo en persona vino a Monterrey México ,me.tome unas fotos con el.una gran persona muy sencillo el gracias Paul por tu grandiosa música y más verte tan de cerca tocando tu solo fue grandioso gracias Paul 🥲

I can totally see where The Contortionist and BTBAM get their inspiration from. Such an incredible band
So damn true. With BTBAM especially the first two cynic albums
From one Paul to another
First Opeth albums included

I don't care what anyone says. Cynic is the greatest Metal band to ever exist.
Cynic, Meshuggah, Necropaghist and Dream Theater are the fathers of modern metal that kids playing today
They truly are. Been a fan since the demo days and so forth. I hope that one day Jason goebel makes a comeback.
Them and Type O have been my favorites. Sadly neither of them have more than 8 records.
@@N8oRMusic I love you but there are a lot of amazing metal musicians however cynic is absolutely up there as one of the best

Props to the new drummer. IMO Sean Reinert was the heartbeat of Cynic, but this guy does it justice
big shoes to fill, and he does so perfectly. happy to see this whole video.
Could use another couple of inches of inseam though.
This is absolutely one of the best audiotree recordings in my books

Ah man. This came when I needed it. Such ethereal music and wisdom. Thanks for sharing this.x
Still baffles me that those guys were writing music as we see in Focus at such a young age

Как говорится, не по уведомлению, а по зову сердца.
❤❤❤
Не ожидал тут увидеть кого либо из снг)
@@newh0 услышал фокус на первом курсе, с тех пор любимая группа)
долго ползал по ластфм пытаясь найти что-то подобное, но никто такое впечатление уже не произвел
@@user-fv6jp1cv1x к сожалению подобных фокусу альбомов мало, но у меня есть надежда что такое прорывное музло я еще услышу. Сам фокус впервые послушал в конце 9ого класса, потом traced in air послушал, но к сожалению это уже не то(
Ive always loved Pauls style, he dresses in a unique way and it represents hia guitar style somehow.
Beautiful video. Thank you Audiotree and Cynic!!!
Thanks to everyone involved for making this happen
Been a fan since the Focus album, which took some effort to acquire in a sleepy town in early 90s Eastern Europe...a cassette tape of course. This is masterful, thank you Audiotree🙏
I keep forgetting The Revelation...
But here´s Paul & Cynic, always helping me to remember. Thank you
"How Could I?"
Wow. The performance and interview is oustanding. Brilliant, touching, overwhelming. Thanks for this!
This is a stunning video. Thank you for the experience! Peace out.
Focus is my favourite album to come out of the death metal scene. It’s strangeness, otherworldliness and great musicianship has not lost its attraction after all these years.
I’ve loved this band so much, thank you audiotree
Amazing stuff, I cried and I was very moved by everything Paul said. Great performance ❤
I bought the CYNIC "Focus" CD back when it first came out. Still have it in my collection. It was ahead of it's time.
Um fã de 25 anos do Brasil, o trabalho de vocês é lendário!
God bless you, Paul ✨
Thank you for making such amazing music that continues to inspire so many of us! 🙏❤️
Amen!🙏❤🌎
