Not sure about this, Reinert and Malone were absolutely crucial to the Cynic sound. This seems like its going to be pretty much a Masvidal solo album, unless it's being pieced together from dome leftover demos...

Thank you for the support and comfort I've received. I'm reminded through your messages, that we're all in this together and that the Cynic family has endured through a lifetime of kaleidoscopic change. A new record will see the light of day in the new year, along with a plan to organize a virtual musical memorial/celebration of Malone and Reinert.
It's not bad though all the same, even if Reinert and Malone are missed. Drummer does, to my ears, seem to be "doing" Reinert though. Make up yer own minds:
