Cyhra, a new band featuring Jake E., Jesper Strömblad, Peter Iwers, Alex Landenburg and Euge Valovirta have released their critically acclaimed debut album, Letters To Myself.
The album features plenty of the magic that each member of the band has become known for over the years. From the catchy twin-guitar attack of Jesper Strömblad &
Euge Valovirta, the soaring, soulful splendour of Jake E.’s unmistakable voice to the pummelling, groove-driven precision of Peter Iwers’ and Alex Landenburg’s rhythmic bedrock, every last moment crackles with the excitement of fresh territory, new challenges, and a brand new identity for all involved to embrace.
The album was recorded & produced at various studios around the world, but mainly in Top Floor Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden by Jakob Herrmann (Amaranthe, Anthrax, etc.) and at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark by Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Volbeat, etc.), who also mixed & mastered the album.
