CYNTHESIS Releases Video Documentary On ReEvolution

Following Sensory Records’ worldwide release of ReEvolution, the second full-length from progressive metal outfit CYNTHESIS, the band this week unveils a new mini-film on their initial inception and the concepts behind the album. The short documentary was filmed in multiple locations, as the majority of the group -- guitarist/keyboardist Jasun Tipton, vocalist Erik Rosvold and drummer Sean Flanegan -- still inhabit their origin of Pleasanton, California, while Jasun’s brother Troy currently resides in Moscow, edited and produced by Wayne Joyner of The Ghost Network.

Check out the documentary on ReEvolution.

The band’s official video for the track "The Most Trivial Pursuit" is also coming together for release in the coming days.

CYNTHESIS: Prog Metal Supergroup To Release Second Part Of Dystopian Trilogy

Sensory Records this week confirms the full details for the pending second album from Pleasanton, California-based progressive metal outfit CYNTHESIS, as the final parts to this new opus have fallen into place.

CYNTHESIS reunites three of the original members of top-tier extreme progressive band Zero Hour -- brothers Jasun and Troy Tipton (guitars and bass, respectively, both also of Abnormal Thought Patterns) and vocalist Erik Rosvold, along with Enchant drummer Sean Flanagan. While maintaining much of the tech/metal influence of Zero Hour, with CYNTHESIS the members’ ambitious technical prowess blends seamlessly and organically into the grand atmospheres and melodic passages enveloping their approach, demonstrates the more melodic side of Jasun Tipton’s songwriting.

Formed in 2010, CYNTHESIS released their massive debut album DeEvolution through Sensory in April of 2011, causing celebration within the prog community with these members aligning, and in some cases realigning, their talents. Following another massive undertaking and countless hours of constructing and executing this new album, now two years later, the middle part of the dystopian trilogy is about to see the light of day as ReEvolution. A shaman, the central character of the series, is sent out to gather more slaves. He comes across a tribe and senses a light within them that triggers a distant memory of his past, making him realize that this is the original tribe he was taken from. He brings them back to the city and encounters what was done to the population and sets them free.

Mixed and co-produced by Forrester Savell and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side, with nearly forty-five minutes of some of the most creative and imaginative progressive metal likely to be released this year, ReEvolutionwill see release via Sensory on June 4th; preorders for the album can be placed here. View the spectacular cover artwork by Mario Sánchez Nevado.

ReEvolution Track Listing:

1. Divine Night

2. Convergence

3. The Grand Façade

4. A Most Trivial Pursuit

5. Persistence Of Visions

CYNTHESIS Album Details And Cover Art Unveiled

DeEvolution, the anticipated debut full-length from CYNTHESIS, is set for worldwide release via Sensory Records on April 19th, 2011.

 

A label priority for Sensory this year, the magnificent DeEvolution tells the story of an elite group of leaders from a heavily industrialized city who find, brainwash and then exploit an indigenous tribes' shaman, believing he would be the perfect supreme leader. By propping him up as possessing all the answers to society's ills, the elites use him in order to gain and keep more control over the masses in order to influence the masses via religion, media, consumerism and government.

 

Check out the brilliant cover artwork for DeEvolution created by Dennis "Damn Engine" Sibeijn (Exodus, Dragonforce, Lamb of God, Him) at this location.

 

DeEvolution Track Listing:

1. The Man Without Skin

2. Incision

3. Divided Day

4. Shallow World

5. Profits Of Disaster

6. The Edifice Grin

7. Twilight

8. A Song Of Unrest

 

CYNTHESIS reunites three original members of progressive metal heroes Zero Hour -- founding twin brothers Jasun and Troy Tipton and original vocalist Erik Rosvold -- for the first time on a recording since their heralded albums The Towers of Avarice [2001] and Metamorphosis [2003], both considered landmark releases in the progressive metal community. DeEvolution was recorded and produced in 2010 by Dino Alden (Marty Friedman, Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore, Zero Hour), and while trademark styles of both the Tipton Brothers and Rosvold shine heavily throughout the release, over the course of eight epic anthems, it is very clear by more relaxed pace and epic story of DeEvolution that this is NOT a new Zero Hour album.

CYNTHESIS Sign To Sensory Records; Original ZERO HOUR Members Reunited

Sensory Records is ecstatic to announce the signing of CYNTHESIS, and the release of their upcoming debut album DeEvolution.

CYNTHESIS is an entirely new band of its own, which also reunites three of the original members of progressive metal purveyors ZERO HOUR -- founding twin brothers Jasun and Troy Tipton and original vocalist Erik Rosvold -- for the first time on a recording since the band's heralded 2001 album The Towers of Avarice and 2003's Metamorphosis, both still considered landmark releases in the progressive metal community. After reaping massive critical acclaim from major international metal media, ZERO HOUR successfully toured Europe and performed at two different ProgPower USA Festivals, the band parted ways with Erik Rosvold, disappointing diehard fans of the band across the globe.

In late 2007, Jasun began writing material for CYNTHESIS. As the music developed he could only imagine one vocalist to really connect to the material. "I've always been a fan of Erik's vocals and I knew his lyric-writing would be a perfect match for the material" explains Jasun. After one phone call Erik was brought into the fold. Rounding out the lineup on drums is longtime friend Sean Flanegan, who not only played on Jasun's 2000 instrumental release, Night's Pulse, but is best known for his amazing work with prog rock heroes, Enchant.

Sure to be a label priority for the new year, DeEvolution tells the story of an elite group of leaders from a heavily industrialized city who find, brainwash and then exploit an indigenous tribes shaman, believing he would be the perfect supreme leader. By propping him up as possessing all the answers to societies ills the elites use him in order to gain and keep more control over the masses. They plan to influence the masses on several fronts: religion, media, consumerism, government. Jasun Tipton adds "Cynthesis allows us to explore new creative venues which provides a deeper listen. The band is very proud of DeEvolution."

DeEvolution and is in the process of being mixed by talented producer/engineer Dino Alden (Marty Friedman, Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore, Zero Hour), and the artwork commissioned to Dennis "Damn Engine" Sibeijn (Exodus, Dragonforce, Lamb of God, Him, etc.) coming together for worldwide release sometime via Sensory Records during the spring months of 2011.

CYNTHESIS lineup:

Jasun Tipton - Guitars and Keys

Troy Tipton - Bass

Erik Rosvold - Vocals

Sean Flanegan - Drums

Stay tuned for more updates on CYNTHESIS over the coming months as we announce more info in preparation of DeEvolution!
