IMPOSSIBLY RARE

I was a promoter of punk and metal shows back in the late 1980's in the Los Angeles area. This tape was given to me by the band (or their manager) based on their interest to play on the shows I booked. This is an original demo cassette tape. You will be hard pressed to find another one of these.

Cynic was formed by guitarist (and now singer) Paul Masvidal and drummer Sean Reinert in 1987.[13] In 1988, the band made their first recording, simply called the '88 Demo. After the demo, Paul Masvidal took over vocal duties, while continuing to play guitar. The band also added a second guitarist, Jason Gobel. Another demo followed in 1989, titled Reflections of a Dying World. 1989 also brought the addition of bassist Tony Choy. In 1990, the group went to the studio to record their third demo, plainly titled '90 Demo. In 1991, Cynic signed with Roadrunner Records and recorded their fourth and final demo, known as Demo 1991.

Cynic is an American band — incorporating progressive, experimental, alternative, and metal elements — founded in Miami, Florida. Cynic are one of the only death metal-inspired bands to have openly gay members. Founding members Paul Masvidal and Sean Reinert publicly revealed their homosexuality in May 2014, a move that was broadly supported by the heavy metal community. Their first album, Focus, released on September 14, 1993, is widely regarded as a landmark release of the progressive metal genre. Cynic disbanded in 1994, but reunited in 2006, and released their second album on November 17, 2008. Traced in Air was released through French label Season of Mist, followed up by an EP titled Re-Traced on May 18, 2010 and an EP titled Carbon-Based Anatomy on November 11, 2011. Their third studio album, Kindly Bent to Free Us, was released on February 14, 2014. In December 2017, after two years of an uncertain future, Reinert confirmed his split from Cynic, leaving Masvidal as the only remaining original member left.
