Reinert requested to be an organ donor, and unfortunately, his request has been denied. Apparently, he didn’t reach the government’s policy, mainly for being a […]

January 2020 will go down as a month of losing legendary drummers. With roughly three days left of the month, we lost four: Neil Peart (Rush), Santtu Lonka (To/Die/For), Reed Mullin (Corrosion of Conformity), and Sean Reinert (Cynic/Death).

For quite some time, we were aware that guitarist Paul Masvidal and bassist Sean Malone were working on new material but nothing indicated that it was for Cynic. Once drummer Sean Reinert stepped away from the band, it was safe to assume that the new material was actually for the band. Now the wait is […]

We are approaching the end of Gay Pride Month, and during this time, Billboard spoke to a handful of out artists, asking about their experiences within the metal and hard rock community. In separate interviews, Paul Masvidal, founding member of Cynic, Otep Shamaya, and Life of Agony’s Mina Caputo, spoke about their experience. It was […]
