Come join us for a night of Cynic/Atheist magic! We'll be celebrating our lifelong journey together with a night of progressive music and timeless memories. Don't miss it!
Atheist's Kelly Schaefer added:
This has been something that Paul (Cynic) and I have been talking about in some capacity since we were in our early 20s. It's surreal to share a 30 year milestone together, and this tour will showcase for us a chance to play songs from our first 3 records as a special trilogy anniversary set, including songs not performed live in decades. Two titans of technical progressive metal coming together for a unicorn of a tour....one you will not want to miss!
