More information about Ascension Codes
Cynic guitarist Paul Masvidal is now unveiling a brand new play-through for the song “Aurora,” which is taken from the band’s critically acclaimed 2021 full-length, ‘Ascension Codes.’ The clip can be found here: https://youtu.be/9f6ZxmmQ_lc
The play-through is being released in conjunction with the launch of Masvidal’s new signature .strandberg* guitar, the Masvidalien NX 6 Cosmo!
One of the most unique iterations of the heralded Boden lineup, the original Boden Masvidalien Cosmo Edition quickly became a favorite amongst not only Cynic and Paul Masvidal fans, but guitar players who sought something different which stood out from the crowd – both aesthetically and sonically. The Masvidalien NX 6 Cosmo retains all of the great features of the Masvidalien Cosmo while adding the new NX features to provide the latest in .strandberg* innovations.

In addition, CYNIC will be digitally releasing a fully instrumental version of ‘Ascension Codes’ via Bandcamp! Cynic is offering an instrumental mix of the track ‘Aurora’ as a free download when pre-ordering the album via the Cynic-alliance Bandcamp page. The album will be streaming on all digital outlets October 7, 2022! Pre-order it now here: https://cynic-alliance.bandcamp.com/album/ascension-codes-instrumentals
