CYNIC “Traced in Air” Delayed in U.S.

The release date for “Traced in Air”, the new album from reunited progressive metallers CYNIC originally slated for late October, had to be pushed back to November 17th (November 25th in the US), for manufacturing reasons.

Read guitarist/vocalist Paul Masvidal's comment: “When Season of Mist made us aware of the release date change, it was immediately apparent that this offered us the potential to spread the word even more about this album. Sean and I are extremely proud of the new record and are looking forward to sharing it with CYNIC fans around the world, even if we have to wait just a bit longer. We're thrilled about touring with OPETH next month in Europe, and of course the US tour beginning in January is going to be on fire!”

The first run of “Traced in Air” will be a limited-edition hard cover digipak with the cover artwork embossed to further showcase the beautiful cover by renowned artist Robert Venosa, as well as eight original pieces of art paired with the eight songs found on the album. Venosa created the unmistakable cover and visuals for 1993's groundbreaking “Focus” album. This limited-edition will also feature a poster of the cover art.

Also released the same day is the “Traced in Air” collector's box, which can still be pre-ordered online and limited to 1,000 copies.
The box contains the following:

USB keychain with the CYNIC logo included
DVD size album art and lyric booklet
Three stickers with Venosa art from “Traced in Air”
Postcard sticker of the “Traced in Air” cover
Plexiglas case, etched with the CYNIC logo and album title for CD included
Compressed CYNIC t-shirt
Limited Edition Poster
One of a kind translucent 24-page journal booklet (magnifying glass included), with personal notes, lyric sketches, rare photos, thoughts and dreams taken directly from CYNIC's universe, mostly consisting of Paul Masvidal's personal journals which tell the story of “Traced in Air” and his own creative process as a songwriter. Equally lucid and esoteric, a true CYNIC fan will cherish the raw beauty of this unique and profound piece of art.
