US progressive rockers Cynic have announced that they will tour Europe February and March next year, on what they're calling their The Aggressive Progressive tour.

The tour includes a raft of UK dates in Glasgow, Dublin, Bristol, Southampton, Manchester, Birmingham and London, where they will perform at Camden's Electric Ballroom on March 8.

Adding extra heft to the bill are death metal giants Rivers of Nihil as well as Beyond Creation and Daath, so it;s probably safe to assume Cynic will be performing material from their debut album, 1993's groundbreaking early prog metal album Focus.

Cynic released their most recent album, Ascension Codes, in 2021.

You can see the full list of dates and ticket details below.
