Cynic (UK) - Suburban Crisis vinyl release

Tim Batkin · Post by **Tim Batkin** » Sat May 16, 2009 6:53 pm

Its been a while, and we have been really busy selling Suburban Crisis, pretty much all over the World. Not too mention working on new material for another album, and investing in our own Pro Tools recording studio.

On Monday 1st June, we are finally off to Abbey Road Studios London with Matt Butler and Steve Rooke to master Suburban Crisis for vinyl release, which will be out as soon as possible. Hugh Syme is re-drafting the artwork from the CD to suit gatefold 12".

We will also have the merchandise available from the Cynic (UK) web store, with Suburban Crisis T Shirts, and the original Cynic claw and World logo.

Keep on rockin!!

Great news, Tim! Will definitely pick up the vinyl. Are you D.I.Y. or is there a label involved?

Hello Mate,

Hope you are well.

Second best news of the year!
Right after learning I get to see two of my favourites bands live for the first time this year.

Make sure the vinyl is nice and thick.

And if you release another album, you're obliged to tour.

The mastering of Suburban Crisis went really well, and goes into production shortly.

The test pressings arrived today, and the vinyl sounds the best I have heard the album outside of the recording studios. Huge warm sound, like having the band in the same room, and you can feel the thud from the bass drum! I am really pleased.

The artwork has been tweaked from the CD to the vinyl in some great subtle ways too, so I hope you will like this. We have tried to listen to what people said they wanted, gatefold, heavy weight vinyl, etc, and deliver it to you.

Should be available towards the end of the month.

Best,

Tim

Awesome! Now just to dig some more room into my wallet for all the vinyl goodness of summer.

The vinyl edition version of Suburban Crisis arrived into stock today. We are really pleased and proud.

Shaun and I were looking at it today, it took us back to when we were teenagers, when we would buy a double live album with our Saturday job money, and then spend all Sunday listening to it, and looking over the artwork - great times.

Well, this vinyl album is probably the album we would have made given the chance back in the early Eighties - I hope you connect with it, and like it.

It will be available through the www.cynicuk.com web site - although BT are still doing the upgrades to the site- so maybe the ecommerce section will be running by Monday. There are also Suburban Crisis T shirts, Cynic world and claw logo T shirts, and Claw patches.

Keep on rockin!!

Tim.... Will you have any XL shirts for us fatties?

I was talking to the T shirt supplier, and we both agreed, there is only one size shirt, for fans of metal and beer, and that is XL.

So yeah - no problem.

Best wishes,

Tim

They finally have that excuse to indulge in eating.

With this great news comes the time to expand my vinyl area, it's getting too small for these gems.

Hi,

I gather the web site is nearly now complete, and you can purchase the Suburban Crisis T shirts and vinyl album. BT are still finishing off the Claw T shirts and patches e-commerce, but then it is good to go. Go and visit www.cynicuk.com

Thanks for the usual kind words, Mexdefender, Black Axe etc, as per the cd you have a credit on the vinyl too

And yes, Mex Defender, we have sizes to suit Mexico City rock guitarists who are only size Small to Medium!!

Keep on rockin!!!
