Cynic - Ascension Codes (Digipack)

Facts 2021 release. Cynic makes it's long-awaited return with Ascension Codes, the highly anticipated follow up to 2014's critically acclaimed Kindly Bent to Free Us. Ascension Codes is a remarkably far-reaching work, and if nothing else, a clear indication that they have landed in a place of mastery. The album, paradoxically, acts as both swan song and rebirth. It is, throughout it's 49 minutes, a vivid and highly cosmic journey into the very core of every impulse this band has ever explored. It's nine main songs are infused with explosions of color and energy, and throughout these compositions are embedded the "codes." Ascension Codes is a totality, a dense, must-listen-all-the-way-through experience.
