CYHRA Frontman JAKE E Talks New Album - "We Could Throw All Of The Songs Into The Live Set And People Would Like It" (Video)
October 6, 2019, 5 years ago
Tuonela Magazine recently spoke with Cyhra frontman Jake E about the band's forthcoming second album, No Halos In Hell. Jake discusses the difference between the new record and the Cyhra debut, Letters To Myself, as well as the new video for "Out Of My Life".
Boosted by the success of their 2017 debut, Letters To Myself, modern melodic metal highflyers Cyhra are using that momentum and pushing forward with a new album - the sophomore No Halos In Hell will see the light of day on November 15th via Nuclear Blast.
Founded by vocalist Jake E (ex-Amaranthe) and guitarist Jesper Strömblad (ex-In Flames), Cyhra has gone from being reminiscent of the duo's former bands to having a unique identity. In fact, No Halos In Hell is one of those rare albums that defies being neatly placed in a genre box; coming out heavy and dynamic, the record is loaded with melodic vocal hooks that stay nailed to the brain for days, achieving maximum impact throughout. Fusing a relentless energy and heaviness the best way possible was Cyhra's main focus this time out. The addition of guitarist Euge Valovirta (ex-Shining) as a full member has raised the creative process to a level where, according to Jake E, "Everyone is playing to the point of what is best for the song.”
Now, the day has finally come for the band to unleash a music video for their first single and lead-off track "Out Of My Life". Prepare for trouble and check out the new clip, directed by Swedish mastermind Patric Ullaeus, below.
Stream or download 'Out Of My Life' here.
No Halos In Hell will be available as 2 CD digipak, black vinyl or download on November 15th and you can pre-order the format of your choice here.
