Mark van Erp was replaced by Tony Choy and the band recorded various demos. The first have a traditional Death Metal sound, but the in the later ones things changed toward a highly complex, experimental and extremely technical form of Metal . Many influences from Jazz and Fusion can be heard in their only album, ''Focus'', recorded in 1993 with new bass player Sean Malone .) Cynic disbanded during the fall of 1994 while working on a second album. The reason stated was artistic differences - the inability to agree on which direction to follow - and so the split was amicable. Ex-members went on their separate ways. Gobel, Masvidal, and Reinert, with bassist Chris Kringel (who had toured Europe with Cynic while Malone attended school), and vocalist/keyboardist Aruna Abrams formed the short-lived Portal . Sean Malone and Sean Reinert performed session work on Aghora 's debut CD. Currently Masvidal, Reinert, and Kringel perform in the band Æon Spoke . The members of Cynic loosely reunited (playing with Bill Bruford , Steve Hackett , and Jim Matheos on various tracks) on Gordian Knot 's second album, ''Emergent''. DISCOGRAPHY Demos
