This new Cynic song is god-tier

Sean Reinhert on drums, Sean Malone on Bass, Paul Masvidal on guitar. Cynic is back and they are throwing you a fucking curveball. Their new track, "The Lion's Roar" from the new album Kindly Bent to Free Us, abandons their angular, futurist take on death metal for a prog-rock meets power pop sound that could best be described as Andy Sturmer if he had grown up on Porcupine Tree  and Yes.

What gets me about the track is how happy it is. Metal music, in general, focuses on negative emotions and experiences. This is a breath of fresh air for the metal/prog community and it's going to shake things up.
