Cypher Seer is an American power metal band, formed in 2003. They were initially called Malakis Reign, but were forced to change names due to legal issues. After working with various well known metal musicians, they released their debut Awakening Day in 2007, with production work on that album done by Dream Evil guitarist Fredrik Nordstrom. In 2008 their parted ways with their vocalist at the time, the late Michael Grant, and after a long search they recruited Zeno Rodrigo to be their new singer. In 2011 they released their second album, Origins, which was actually a big departure from their first album: While Awakening Day was a fairly traditional power metal album, Origins had a very modern progressive power metal sound, and it even included some extreme vocals.
