CyHra (Jesper Strömblad + Peter Iwers) - Letters to Myself (20 octobre)

Jesper est de retour avec un nouveau groupe dans lequel on retrouve Peter Iwers qui a lui aussi quitté In Flames récemment.

Jesper a écrit:So at last it happens:). What we are working on the past year will now become reality as we enter the studio today with 15 crushing tunes with us. Follow us here, instagram and youtube. More details to come. I...am...STOKED

Kéki vont faire donc comme musique?

Rien que ça !

A mon avis ça va pas être très violent, le batteur est celui du Rhapsody de Luca Turilli et le chanteur vient de quitter... Amaranthe.

Jake E (le chanteur) a écrit:*BREAKING NEWS*
I am so proud to finally tell you that today is the birth of a brand new BAND!
I have the honor to present to you; CyHra

In the beginning of 2016 me and Jesper sat down over a cup of coffee and decided to write some songs together.
Peter and Alex heard about it and we welcomed them in what then came to be a band with open arms!

CyHra has signed a worldwide deal with Spinefarm/Universal and we are actually entering the studio TODAY!
Album is set to be released in the autumn and we are gonna make sure you can follow the whole journey on or FB/Insta/twitter and Youtube Channels:

Amaranthe? Mais yeah!

Pour rappel, Amaranthe c'est cette m.... euh c'est ça:



Jake E c'est bien le mec qui chantait en voix claire, il y avait un growler intermittent dans le groupe (pas dans ce morceau visiblement) mais ce n'est pas lui.

Ce titre est quand même pas représentatif de ce qu'ils font (mais on est d'accord, ça reste de la merde).

moi qui ne connais pas, je crois que ce commentaire ci dessus est très utile

Bah moi je ne suis pas d'accord. C'est certes facile mais c'est catchy, un mélange de métal et de dance sympa (mais j'oblige personne à aimer). Et pour entendre avec les trois voix :


avec un autre growler

Je trouve ça infâme et putassier à mort!

Sven a écrit:Je trouve ça [...] putassier à mort!

moi aussi mais bien fait. Du coup j'aime bien de temps à autre. Comme le Blood de in this moment dans un autre genre putassier.

Franchement c'est horrible, mais en même temps c'est vrai que c'est bien fait et bien (sur)produit donc ça peut se laisser écouter...

Ce qui m'inquiète c'est que pour moi le pire dans ce groupe c'est justement le chanteur qui les a quitté pour monter le groupe avec Strömblad et les autres !
Même la chanteuse qui minaude à mort et prend une voix sexy à la Britney Spears me tape moins sur les nerfs.

Ouais, c'est moche à dire, mais entre le chanteur insipide, le growleur lambda et la musique en plastique, je crois que la chanteuse est ce que je préfère dans ce groupe.

Premier extrait, et nos craintes étaient justifiées:

Pourquoi quitter In Flames et chier sur leur évolution pour au final faire quelque chose d'aussi commercial qu'eux ?

Musicalement, on se croirait presque revenu à l'époque de Clayman, mais putain, ce chanteur, c'est pas possible...

L'album s'appelle Letters to Myself et sort le 20 octobre si ça vous dit. Moi non a priori.

CYHRA, the new band featuring former IN FLAMES members Peter Iwers (bass) and Jesper Strömblad (guitar) alongside ex-AMARANTHE singer Joacim "Jake E" Lundberg and LUCA TURILLI'S RHAPSODY drummer Alex Landenburg, will release its debut album, "Letters To Myself", on October 20 via Spinefarm Records. The disc was recorded at Top Floor Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The first single from the effort, "Karma", can be streamed on Spotify. A video for the track will follow on September 8.

From the blissfully melodic thrust of Strömblad's riffs and hooks, and the soaring, soulful splendor of Jake E's unmistakable voice, to the pummeling, groove-driven precision of Iwers and 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.

Formed in 2016 by longtime friends Jake E and Strömblad, CYHRA is about to light a fire under the contemporary metal scene that promises to blaze for decades to come.

The buzz around CYHRA has been growing at a rapid rate since the band unveiled its plans earlier this year.

"The excitement that I feel about CYHRA is over the top," Jake E exclaims. "I have to pinch myself every day to make sure it's not just another dream. I am so proud of the music we have created and I can't wait to show it to the world!"

"For the first time for as long as I can remember, I feel I am a part of something special," adds Strömblad. "This band has helped me regain my true passion for music. I can't wait to share this."

Speaking to AntiHero Magazine, Jake stated about CYHRA's formation: "I have been friends with Jesper for a long time, probably ten years. We met for the first time when I was working for IN FLAMES as a pyro technician back in the day. That was also when I got to know Peter. We had been friends since then. I was considering to make a solo album, and I would say that I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I'm probably going to write some songs as well. And he asked me, 'Would you do the vocals on my solo album?' And I said, 'Of course. Would you be interested in playing guitar on whatever I'm doing?' And he said yes. And then we started to talk about what our solo albums, projects, whatever it was meant to be would sound like and when we were discussing that we just realized that okay, we want the same. We want to make the same album. So that's where it all came to be and then we decided to start writing songs together. So, we were actually talking over a cup of coffee on a Friday and then on Monday we actually sat down in the studio and we started working on the first song. So that was really, really good. And then when we were doing the same thing there, we didn't know what to do. But after a couple of songs, everything started to come together. Then Jesper said, 'Okay what are we going to do?' And I said that I had the perfect drummer for this band, and that's Alex Landenburg. I said that you are going to love this guy. And a couple of months later we all met, and Jesper and Alex became best friends instantly. And then Jesper said that it would be cool if Peter would like to join. And so we asked him and he was still the bassist for IN FLAMES, and he said, 'Yeah, absolutely, I will gladly jump on board of this ship. But just to let you know, I am going to still be a member of IN FLAMES as well.' We were cool with that and then things happened like they did. Peter eventually decided to part ways with IN FLAMES."

Regarding the CYHRA sound, Jake said: "It is hard to describe what we sound like because we've been writing for almost a year. We've been influenced by so many different bands. We are, of course, influenced by ourselves. Because like, as the main songwriter in all our different projects before, you know, like, Jesper has his touch of things, I have the touch on my side, and also the other guys. Of course, you will find similarities in our former bands. But I won't say that we have reinvented the wheel in any way, but it's still something that sounds really, really fresh and new, even though music is music. You could always probably find similarities. But I would not say that it sounds like old AMARANTHE, or that it sounds like IN FLAMES. But you could completely, you know, recognize yourself within these boundaries."

Jake E announced his departure from AMARANTHE in February, explaining at the time that he began to feel that "my place both on the albums and live was reduced; I felt like I was superfluous… I started to feel more like a backing singer."

Iwers issued a statement in November saying that he was leaving IN FLAMES "to pursue other endeavors." He has since been replaced on the road by Bryce Paul, a member of the Southern California pop-rock outfit IVES.

Strömblad quit IN FLAMES in February 2010 in order to continue receiving treatment for his alcohol addiction. He later formed THE RESISTANCE with Marco Aro (vocals, THE HAUNTED) and Glenn Ljungström (guitar, ex-IN FLAMES), only to exit that band in March 2016. THE RESISTANCE bassist Rob Hakemo later slammed Jesper in an interview, calling the guitarist "an alcoholic" and "drug addict" who "doesn't want to [get] sober."

CYHRA will make its live debut on October 27 at Nosturi in Helsinki, Finland.

Pluzun pour le son à la Clayman, ce qui, au début du morceau, n'a pas été pour me déplaire.

Par contre, au niveau du chant, on dirait l'EEG d'un poulpe amorphe sous Lexomil.
Chez Amaranthe, ça passe à peu près parce qu'il y a l'alternance des voix, mais tout seul, ce mec est insipide.

Le clip dans l’entrepôt désaffecté réglementaire:

Tu pars en couilles Jesper, tu pars en couilles

Pourtant musicalement c'est plutôt pas mal, on retrouve les riffs et les mélodies de Jesper.

Mais le chant....

C'est dégueu...

Mais pourquoi ai-je cliqué ?

tiens, je vais remettre le titre ..Non , je déconne !

Perso j'ai failli m'arrêter dès l'intro en écoutant le riff pas franchement ébouriffant d'originalité. Mais j'ai trouvé que le chant collait bien à l'esprit heavy mélo mais pas (trop) mièvre. Je vous trouve vachement sévère, le mec n'est pas un branque et puis c'est pas Blink-182, quand même (ma définition perso du chant "dégueu", parmi d'autres). Evidemment, si vous vous attendiez à du In Flames historique, vous avez dû être sacrément déçus (ce qui ne peut pas être mon cas, puisque je n'ai jamais aimé In Flames. ).
Curieux d'écouter l'album, même si je crains que ça tourne un peu en rond.
