| With the release of 'Focus' in 1993, Florida's Cynic successfully re-wrote the progressive metal blueprint, and in the process reached a new technical benchmark in extreme music. Widely heralded as a masterpiece, 'Focus' showcases Cynic's seamless meshing of death metal, progressive rock, jazz, eastern mysticism and computerized vocals, interspersed with ethereal harmonies and aggressive vocals. An absolute classic. The Expanded Edition features a complete remaster for supreme sound, 6 bonus tracks, and a deluxe booklet containing new artwork, new liner notes, previously unseen pictures and a personal message from Paul Masvidal. |
