• Clear Transparent Vinyl
• 2024 Artist-Directed Repress
• Paul Masvidal Release Version
• No Barcode – Boutique Pressing

Originally released in nineteen ninety-three, Cynic’s Focus remains one of the most groundbreaking albums in progressive death metal. Blending technical precision, jazz fusion complexity, spiritual lyricism, and vocoder-laced atmospherics, the record redefined what extreme metal could be. Tracks like “Veil Of Maya” and “Celestial Voyage” balance ferocious musicianship with cosmic melody, while “Textures” and “I’m But A Wave To…” explore fluid, almost weightless sonic terrain.

This 2024 repress was issued directly under the direction of Paul Masvidal. Released in Transparent Clear (this version) and Transparent Green variants, these pressings were created outside traditional major label channels. The minimalist presentation, including the absence of a barcode, reflects its boutique, artist-controlled nature rather than an unofficial or bootleg origin.

Pressed in limited batches and distributed through authorized channels, this edition represents an official, artist-sanctioned version of Focus—produced with direct oversight and quality control from the source.
