CyHra

CyHra brings together four musicians all with strong ties to the metal scene (though it's a bit of stretch to throw out the "supergroup" tag), the most prominent probably being longtime In Flames guitarist Jesper Strömblad. Letters To Myself is an upbeat, modern radio-friendly European hard rock/metal album, retaining much of Amaranthe's pop sensibilities (which go beyond the vocalist connection) and at times bringing to mind In Flames' current direction, as opposed to the melodeath of their early period. It's arguably too melodic and hook-oriented to be a true metal record, this is clearly aimed at a different audience, and on those terms it may well deliver.
