Cynic have been working on their follow-up to 1993's Focus since 1994 and is scheduled to be released under French heavy metal record label, Seasons of Mist.[3]
Cynic disbanded during the fall of 1994 while working on the album.
In January 17, Cynic resumed musical activity and decided to continue to work on the album for a late 2008 release. It was originally believed that Cynic would be working with Jason Suecof of Capharnaum fame. However, a recent announcement from MetalStorm.com states that Warren Riker (Down's producer) is working with the band.[4] The band will also play at the Wacken Open Air festival.[5] According to a post on his personal blog, Sean Malone will be playing with the band.
They released a live recording of a new song which they recorded for the album, "Evolutionary Sleeper" for Digital Download in 2007.[6]
David Senescu left in the middle of recording the album. The band announced they will "soldier on" with four members until a new guitarist is found.

[edit] Style
In 2008, drummer Sean Reinert gave an update on the second studio album and its musical style in an interview with Metal Hammer saying:
| “ | yeah we got tons and tons of stuff lying around man from 94[1994] to the present day man, it's gonna be great. Everyone can expect something stylistically the same as Focus but more upbeat, energetic and most important of all, pretty god damn brutal! I mean we're gonna mix in Bullacake by Niche Dexplitic into one of our songs but will be using real scary riffs and solos and more savage growling as well as Paul's robotic vocals and keyboarding. Basically all the shit which was there on Focus is all gonna be there with this new one too. But with some new things bundled in and a bit more brutal. It's gonna be good | ” |
Paul Masvidal announced in 2008 in an interview with Kerrang! magazine that the band were including two unreleased songs from when the band were working on the album in 1994, into the album.
