Efforts to find out how the future of CYHRAs music should look like, and
I have to say that I am overwhelmed by the result. Both with the album and
meet them Songwriting„Jake E.
It was surprisingly quiet around the supergroup over the Corona years CYHRA. Once from the former IN FLAMES Founded by members Jesper Strömblad and Peter Iwers, respectively by Jake E. (Ex-DIGNITYEx-AMARANTHE), Alex Landenburg (u.a. KAMELOT, MEKONG DELTA) and supplemented, they started with “Letters To Myself” in 2017. After that, Iwers said goodbye in direction THE HALO EFFECT – but with Jesper also getting involved – Euge Valovirta (GODSPLAGUE) stepped in on guitar and bass and “No Halos In Hell” followed. Only then did Marcus Sunesson (ENGELEx-THE CROWN) recruited a third guitarist.
After a break of almost four years, the third work “The Vertigo Trigger” is released and promises catchy and pop modern metal once more, which not all fans of Strömblad, who following his IF time with DIMENSION ZERO or THE RESISTANCE once unleashed fat chunks of death metal on mankind.
Anyone who knows Jake E. knows that “The Vertigo Trigger” is also regarding emotion. The always synth-laden songs are catchy, invite you to sing along, but often also to think. The first hit candidates are quickly found, because “Ready To Rumble” is the perfect opener, which immediately bores into your ear canals and the driving and intensive “Let’s Have My Story Told” also pleases right away. Of course you quickly think of AMARANTHE, but also SKILLET are the topic when it gets a bit more pathetic, whereby heavy modern metal troops like SONIC SYNDICATE, ENGEL or SOLUTION .45 also come to mind, if you then screw the degree of hardness up. Like the anthemic “Life Is A Hurricane” or “1,000,000 Fahrenheit”, which are also good for singles. In contrast, there is the theatrical ballad “The Voice You Need To Hear”, in which Jake puts his heart and soul into it and knows how to touch.
With “The Vertigo Trigger” CYHRA deliver a more than solid piece of Melodic Modern Metal, which catches your ear, but also shows enough heaviness not to get lost in kitsch and pathos, as happens with so many other bands from the genre . Those who hope for harder tones from Jesper will hopefully soon have their chance once more with THE HALLO EFFECT and the somehow still existing CEREMONIAL OATH. Until then, I can definitely recommend this album to courageous Modern Metallers!
