Cyprian were a Power Metal band formed in St. John's, NL, Canada. The group released an EP containing four tracks in 2005. They have since disbanded. Perhaps more famously though (according to number of plays atleast), Cyprian is also a two time trance project by Grant Kearney and Steve Peach that since has been abandoned. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Cyprian">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Cyprian (; ; to 14 September 258 AD) was a bishop of Carthage and an early Christian writer of Berber descent, many of whose Latin works are extant. He is recognized as a saint in the Western and Eastern churches.
He was born around the beginning of the 3rd century in North Africa, perhaps at Carthage, where he received a classical education. Soon after converting to Christianity, he became a bishop in 249. A controversial figure during his lifetime, his strong pastoral skills, firm conduct during the Novatianist controversy and outbreak of the Plague of Cyprian (named for his description of it), and eventual martyrdom at Carthage established his reputation and proved his sanctity in the eyes of the Church.
