Coinciding with the release of Carbon-Based Anatomy, CYNIC have confirmed a special release party for this Wednesday, November 2nd at Idle Hands Bar in New York City. The band will be on hand signing copies of the new EP and a special intimate acoustic set is planned for the evening as well. Idle Hands is located in the East Village on 25 Avenue B, between 2nd and 3rd Streets. There will be plenty of drink specials including the $10 Tasting Night with Sierra Nevada.

Carbon-Based Anatomy will be released on November 15th in North America and November 11th in Europe.

The artwork was designed by Robert Venosa, the artist behind the cover artworks of Focus, Traced In Air and Re-Traced. The band regret to announce that Robert passed away last month. Check out the artwork below:

Paul Masvidal describes this new EP as "both a philosophical as well as a musical journey, one that begins in the Amazon jungle on the lips of a shamanic wisewoman (as portrayed by Amy Correia) and ends in outerspace".

Fans will be excited to know that all bass parts on Carbon-Based Anatomy were recorded by Sean Malone.

Carbon-Based Anatomy tracklisting:

'Amidst The Coals'

'Carbon-Based Anatomy'
