CypherSeer "Origins"

CypherSeer's much anticipated follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut "Awakening Day", is stronger, heavier, faster and an overall outstanding sophomore effort for this young band. Equipped with an arsenal of new members, CypherSeer's "Origins" features fierce guitar work and vocals that highlight the powerful rhythmic ensemble.

"Origins" was edited and mixed by well known talent Fredrik Nordstrom ( In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Dream Evil). Learn More...
