His music is associated with musical genres including Dark Electro/Industrial/EBM. The music is recognizable and consists of characteristic melodic sounds combined with death metal vocals. The studio project is a one-man operation based in Athens, Greece.

History
Formation and early years
Cygnosic first appeared as a music act in late 2006 on MySpace.[1] In 2007, the band was discovered by Brandon L. Clark, manager of the Industrial Music Label BLC Productions based in Little Rock, Arkansas. He offered Cygnosic an album deal. During 2008, Georg Psaroudakis recorded his first album with sound engineer Dimitris Douvras of Lunatech Sounds Studio.[citation needed] In early 2009, the debut album A Deity In Pain was released and distributed by Metropolis Records of in North America and by E-Noxe in Europe. After a year, BLC Productions terminated its operations and released its artists from their contracts.[citation needed]

During 2010, Cygnosic started performing electronic concerts around Greece while writing his second album. While samples of the second album were sent to all major Dark Electro/Industrial labels, Cygnosic got rediscovered by Jamie Nova, manager of DWA (Digital World Audio, former Deathwatch Asia), an electronic music label based in Osaka, Japan.[2] After an introductory EP release,[3] the second album titled Fallen was released in 2011.[4]

Later
In 2013, the third studio album titled Fire And Forget was released in two versions, a European one by the German label Black Rain and an international one by DWA.[5] Cygnosic started touring in Russia, United Kingdom and the rest of the Europe to promote the album.

In 2014, Psaroudakis returned to the studio to write his fourth eponymous album, a double album consisting of one electronic set and one metal set. The metal set included metal versions of selected electro tracks picked from his earlier albums. Psaroudakis played the drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals. The electronic set was released prior to the full album version. Orkus magazine printed 62,000 copies in its twentieth anniversary issue.[6] In 2015, an EP titled The Key was released in vinyl.[7] In 2016, after a series of European concerts, the fifth album, Siren, was in process with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. It was released in DigiBook in 2017.[8][9][10]

Now is the time
CygnosiC Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You’ve been away
For so long
Until you saw
There is no road

You let the years
Passing by
Don’t be afraid

For now it’s the time

You’ve been away
For so long
Led by mistakes
Without brakes

You hid the truth
Deep inside

I want you know
I am here by your side

Overall Meaning

The song "Now Is the Time" by CygnosiC is a powerful and emotional rollercoaster that talks about coming back after a long hiatus and embracing the present moment. The lyrics are beautifully crafted, and the message of the song is clear: no matter how far you have strayed away, now is the time to come back and claim your place. The opening lines, "You’ve been away for so long until you saw there is no road," suggest that the singer has been lost for a while and that they have come to the realization that they need to return home.

The subsequent lines, "You let the years passing by, don’t be afraid, for now, it’s the time," suggest that the singer has been wasting time and that there is no need to be afraid of change. The chorus is particularly poignant, "You’ve been away for so long, led by mistakes without brakes," highlighting that the singer was misguided for a while but now realizes that they need to own up and face their mistakes. The line, "I want you to know I am here by your side," also indicates that the singer is ready to make amends and that they have a supportive ally.

As a whole, the song is an excellent example of the genre and will undoubtedly resonate with listeners looking to turn a new page. The synth-pop melodies are infectious, and the lyrics are filled with emotion and depth, making it an ideal track for anyone looking for a significant musical experience.

Line by Line Meaning

You’ve been away
You have been absent

For so long
For a considerable period of time

Until you saw
Up until the point at which you perceived

There is no road
That there is no direct path to follow

You let the years
You allowed time

Passing by
To move gradually

Don’t be afraid
Do not succumb to fear

For now it’s the time
Because the present moment is opportune

You’ve been away
You have been absent

For so long
For a considerable period of time

Led by mistakes
Guided by past errors
