Robin Zielhorst and Tymon Kruidenier leave Cynic

Bassist Robin Zielhorst and guitarist Tymon Kruidenier have parted ways with Cynic. Robin Zielhorst made the post on his Facebook page: “just quit Cynic” last Friday, the 10th December and rumours began circulating online that Tymon Kruidenier would be following suit after he announced that he was moving back the Netherlands. The rumours proved to be true.

“After much soul-searching and discussion, Cynic will say goodbye to bassist Robin Zielhorst and guitarist Tymon Kruidenier. This decision was reached mutually, with great respect for each other as people and the work that we’ve done over the past 2-3 years”, read an official statement from Cynic.

Zielhorst commented on the departure: “Tymon and I would like to thank Paul [Masvidal] and Sean [Reinert] for the opportunity and to especially thank the fans for their support and for warmly welcoming us into the Cynic family. We look forward to seeing you all on the road soon.”

Cynic plan to continue writing and recording their next album, scheduled for release in Summer 2011 via Season Of Mist. Meanwhile, Zielhorst and Kruidenier have announced plans to revive Exivious for a new record.
