Those who know ☠

[@rmmartins133]

If you don't get goosebumps on that last part, you have a cold heart.

[@TheProgWay]

dude I get them from 0:00....

[@devonscope6222]

I guess i dont have a heart.

[@matthewabell914]

No doubt, brotha

[@PrEtTyLuSh05]

My mom died 2 months ago, and like a month ago i started listening to Cynic. I really don't know why this song reminds me so much of her... :\ Beautiful, beautiful song. Especially the natural harmonics at the end. They make me want to cry. I'm really glad i discovered this band. Cynic rocks!!!

[@andym28]

You might like Allan Holdsworth.

[@matthewabell914]

Hey, I know exactly what you mean. I lost my daughter of 13 months and although Ive owned this album since before her birth, it is this one and True Hallucination Speak that I used to rock her back to sleep on those grueling sleepless night of hers. So, no need to be confused as to why this reminds you of your mother, bless her soul. I understand where you are coming from. I offer my condolensces.

[@raquelmartinez7763]

Bro I literally cried involuntary at their show yesterday actually at reggies.

[@cornnutsmaj7]

This song is ridiculously fantastic and well-structured.

[@adjmetal]

That's incredible that every time i listen to this song, the final chord leaves me with a smile

[@nightsystem]

that last piece at the end of the song that has a clean jazz melody brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it.....such beautiful guitar playing....

[@Hyperlink1337]

From the mountain top He looks upon the crowds Mindful among the mindless Unbound King of those who know I’m sheltering the fears The loneliness exposed An ocean born of tears For the world The churchyard bells Ring mine for just today Save me from hope That I’ll be saved King of those who know My thirst unquenchable The rain could become gold And share my box of bones In the ground We raise the vibratory level so high That all untruth will fall Of it’s own dead weight King of those who know I’ve taken off my clothes The diamond crushed the stone And gave the world a heart Our karma’s all been burned The molecules emerge In a world beyond this world We dare, speak the word King of those who know Into the pure abodes

[@ailynn14]

those who know: 💀💀💀

[@metldrummer2112]

This song is absolutely amazing. The intro and the outro give me such a feeling of beauty, bliss, and power. And the meat of the song itself is just so peaceful and inspiring. Cynic makes me happy to be alive.

[@hunkywizard6481]

RIP Sean 😢😔😭😢😔😭😢😔😭

[@dootslayer3907]

This year is already a lot of grief. Rest in paradise Sean.

Estoy agradecido con la vida por haber escuchado la mejor canción de Cynic en vivo, jamás imagine que se volvieran a reunir, tampoco imaginé verles en un concierto y mucho menos imaginé escuchar esta canción en vivo (y en la Ciudad de México!!). Un ciclo de mi vida se completó en ese momento.

[@ulisesmondragon6332]

yo estuve ahi jeje que buena onda lo q escribes

[@vidividivicious]

Yo andaba en CDMX por esas epocas pero tuve que regresar a MTY antes de ese concierto del 2014...

[@SoyelFxg]

Yo jamás pude escuchar how could i? En vivo, y a pesar de escuchar varias esa vez que vino con dark lunacy, me sentí mal. Eso sí, me dieron el setlist, aún lo conservo.

[@evilsherpa666]

Some of the most beautiful guitar playing ever. The ending of the song is just stunning

[@romthesimp2520]

Those who knoe

[@AaronQ1222]

I think it's incredibly awe-inspiring how Paul Masvidal's sense of self-reflection and spirituality allows him to create such powerfully emotional content.

[@sittm2]

Wow, This is one of the greatest songs ive ever hear, and Ive never heard of cynic before this.

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

Most non-demonic, trippy, beautiful, god like death metal song ever

[@lucariololol]

step 1.smoke weed step 2.drive down long country road at night step 3.listen to this album step 4.enjoy cosmic journey

[@yeatsg]

My favorite track off of Traced in Air, it's just incredibly musically symmetrical. Well-rounded, great song writing (on par with The Beatles)-- and some totally jazzy sections. And the only track where I can see the faintest glimmer of Focus in the distance like at 2:29. This song takes you somewhere else and then gently floats your evolved and stupified self back down to the chair in front of your computer.

[@IvanoForgione]

this album is a miracle, believe me. it happens once every 15 years. let's treasure these things.

[@JoneRuiz]

Geez. Was not expecting the ending like this. Especially that beautiful open chord. Man, Cynic has become my favorite band!

[@tapary]

Seeing Cynic touring so much makes me hopeful that they'll crank out another one ASAP!!!!!! I've never been this enthralled with an album.

[@nostalgia6669]

The explosive solo with the drums is so fucking awesome

[@Gr4mp4]

Absolutely awesome song by an unbelievably talented band. Love it! The clean guitar riff and groove starting at 1:00 is just beautiful . . .

[@proquow]

The only Death Metal song that can make devout Christians start bawling. This song and Integral Birth are absolutely gorgeous and so universal. This entire album transcended genres into so many people's minds and hearts. So ahead of it's time, so inspirational that The Contortionist capitalized on it's beauty with their own album 'Language'. Rest in Peace to both Seans, your talents will be sorely missed.

[@Tortoisech]

Completely and absolutely Awesome!!! A new classic has born

[@JaxiIsLazy]

those who know....

[@robertthebrute]

i really love the metallic outburst in this song,and his vocals are so amazing with the heavy guitar melodies. i fucking love cynic:D

[@dermert]

Everything about this album is awesome, even the album art. I've honest to god spent a half hour admiring the art work. It's so majestic, Im tempted to show it too my Art History class.

[@nathankomer8699]

Keep coming back to this song. So beautiful and timeless, never getting old since the composition is so unique

[@matteobdrums]

best track on this album!! i've just understood them and i think that they are an amazing band!!

[@paxton]

being compared to that of focus, the band's maturity and musicianship has been taken to another level which a lot of metal bands trying to make spot on the metal world cant get at par with. judging by how they manage to create an atmosphere of peace due to music makes this guys more than what they are years when they first release focus.

[@EnragedSephiroth]

I can't believe I heard this live. Even though it was my first listen, my ears knew it was something amazing to behold.

[@huffalmighty]

I almost forgot how beautiful this song is.

[@shadowrichter]

This has been the only song ever that made me cry :,)

[@Guitarzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

I just discovered this band a few days ago. They're so fucking amazing. I can't believe I never listened to them sooner.

[@diabeticmonkey]

This song is unbelievable! The time is all over the place, and it definitely makes it interesting.

[@wesheavyevermetal.6001]

Uma das melhores coisas que ja ouvi, espero um dia assistir a banda ao vivo, e pode tocar essa musica, ja que o Paul é uma de minhas influencias !!!

[@GeneralShred89]

i still can't believe they were able to write all these new songs on-the-spot! it's amazing

[@bladerunner345]

i listen to this while i study. its so amazingly calming! :D and holy crap do these guys have talent! i mean im a guitarist my self and Paul Masvidal is one of my biggest influences! great stuff Cynic! thank you for your existence!

[@SiaManOnDeath]

Nostalgia level : infinite ❤️

[@TheLordFenris]

This album is amazing. Took some getting used to. the first time I listened to it.

[@theEVOhero94]

I feel like i'm listening to a sci-fi universe in the future......feelsso awesome. Cynic is incredible, I don't see why these guys don't have a better reputation...shit they should be known worldwide

[@AaronQ1222]

That ending. So jazzy.

[@JoneRuiz]

Best word to describe it!

[@MrSeemby]

This will be ahead of its time until the end of time.

[@Flyfar420]

I love this song!!! I have listened to it over and over since I heard the other day. There is a lot of talent here. Finally a metal band that doesnt scream too damn much and I can understand. Nice work people.

[@CloppofficialYT]

Those who know 💀💀💀

[@itayf2289]

Cynic is the band that helps me get out of my bed and live my boring life.

[@itayf2289]

This music gives me a hope for a better future.

[@REvamp91590]

Same here. This is the first song I've heard from them and I love it. Time to look into their other stuff!

[@choganskateboarding]

King of Those who Know to the Pure of Heart. Solo at the end is like a reiteration through guitar.

[@IvanoForgione]

great album. bought the limited edition. this is my favourite, alongside Integral Birth. The whole album, actually, is pure genious. Thanks Cynic! can't wait for the gig...

[@JessBedolla3]

I wanna marry this song! cheers from Mexico

[@entropia14]

I am almost at a loss for words! This is amazing music. I love focus but my god, I think they may have topped it.

[@errejotaessevandalo7858]

Já escutei essa música umas mil vezes,mas sempre tenho que voltar pelo menos uma vez,pra escutar de novo na parte do primeiro solo,apenas super inspirado...

[@Viajanterj]

Essa música é mto foda

[@5h1n10]

my favorite on this album!! just wish they'd release it already, heard it all already (not on youtube) but i'll definitely be buying it as will all of you i hope! show your support guys

[@Hybbeman]

This, the new Opeth album, The Bedlam in Goliath and Steven Wilson's solo album... This is shaping up to be one of the best years musicwise in a long time.

[@Grainismine]

Traced.... in.... air.... Lovely, masterpiece.

[@AK4769er]

This sure gives clarity to a cluttered mind.

[@DIRGEFUNK]

seeing Cynic live tonight! I CANT WAIT!!!

[@jf160297]

Thanks for the advice. I just woke up from a 6 month coma after a brutal car accident and can't walk anymore, but totally worth it.

[@PennyDreadful1]

This song feels fantastical.

[@matthewabell914]

oh, my goodness. how far they have come.

[@mattdemon-r5l]

incredible. i wish i found these guys alot sooner!!

[@CleanseTheSoul]

I had listened to Cynic once and thought it was horrible...but this song...it is so beautiful. I cannot listen to it and feel any anger at all.

[@TheHucore]

2 words - simply , amazing.

[@arrow23]

I own both focus and traced in air...what did you expect, of course it was going to be different after all the years, and I'm glad...the guys grew up, you should grow up too

[@BassThrasher]

Tell your girlfriend she has an amazing taste, that song is incredible. The chorus is so beautiful, one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

[@redneckdipper1337]

Friggin' Beautiful.

[@yohanisburg]

Dual guitar harmonies at 3:19 are just beautiful.

[@robertthebrute]

that intro is so damn melodic...but it explodes into something of a wonder:D

[@vegetablesasfollowers5982]

Dude new Contortionist is killin it!

[@aleroblues]

great group, paul is a master mind, sean is a great master mind too.

[@willbilly2fistmcgee]

Loveley melody!

[@tapary]

Indeed! The coolest part is that he says "I've taken off my clothes," and at this point, most of the vocal processing is off, except for a very subtle octave shift up. Fucking brilliant!!!!

[@TheProgWay]

Guitar from 5:15 onwards.. always brings extreme feels

[@ricardorien]

Pure gold.

[@BaphometRael]

Absolutely wonderful.

[@Dethsquirrel]

Cynic is catharsis sonically embodied

[@daydreamnation54]

My favorite track from Traced in Air!

[@Dylangino]

just a higher angelic being. Look at the album cover of focus, the angelic figure there is small and it almost evolves and grows in this album

[@Wolfmoon23]

love this jazzy sound

[@tapary]

I couldn't agree more with you!

[@MrSaulgravy]

The Perfect Song

[@ulyot26]

i cant get the melody out of my head. and i actually enjoy it..

[@BrutalEpicMetal]

the guitar solo at 2:11 is sick.

[@DubVT-wvt]

Magus sent me here, I like it....it's me....like charmed....for men tho....

[@thefunnydudes2]

im gonna watch them today!

[@Dibbysins]

3 years later im stlll listening to this! fucking love this song

[@JackWareingFilms]

FOCUS is my absolute favorite Cynic Album/CD Ever!! But 'King of those Who Know' from 'Traced in Air' (Album/CD) is an extremely cool song.

[@xreaperx2859]

sends a shiver through my soul

[@aporeticist]

Word. Seen them twice now. One time with DT (which were horribly annoying) and one show where they were headliner. Second one was kinda nice and intimate - just brilliant.

[@Padrigg89]

Perfect!

[@glennielsen]

just plain ole good music...

[@Draclord35]

Thx for the upload ! ;)

[@ipwnurnoobsgranny]

my favorite song. ever.

[@arkee71]

@BlitzAceX if i had to choose i guess 1st solo...i really like his tone on that one..and he just rips loose on it...kind of a fun solo to listen to

[@GalloAutoritario]

oh man , i love this album and this song ;_;

[@yuyinyu]

Beautiful

[@Magani79]

Amazing album

[@ChronoPhoenix]

I think I'll try a taste of it and, if I find it in Italy, I will definitely buy it. Just for the respect I have for Cynic though.
