Cynic announced 2025 EU/UK “The Aggressive Progressive Tour”

CYNIC, the transcendental luminaries of the progressive death metal genre, are gearing up to continue their journey through the echelons of music. They announced the arrival of a new tour; The Aggressive Progressive Tour, where they’ll play across 25 dates in Europe & the UK.

Emerging from the crucible of existential challenges and musical innovation, CYNIC‘s name is an emblem of eternal progression. Their relentless evolution, through the storms and splintered paths, has given rise to masterpieces such as Focus (1993), Traced in Air (2008), and Kindly Bent to Free Us (2014). The band’s virtuosity and thematic depth have carved out a niche that intersects death metal, jazz fusion, and boundless experimental realms.

On The Aggressive Progressive Tour, they’ll be joining the death metal giants Rivers of Nihil as well as Beyond Creation and Daath to deliver an epic package that takes you across the death metal realm.
