Swedish melodic metal outfit Cyhra have shared a video for their new single, “If I.” The track is taken from their upcoming album, The Vertigo Trigger, out August 18th via Nuclear Blast Records.
Vocalist Jake E comments:
“‘IF I’ is a song that includes all the influences we all grew up with from the Gothenburg metal scene. Great melodies with a sing along chorus. The video is directed by ourselves with material captured by band and crew during our 9-show tour in Japan this past January.”
Drummer Alex Landenburg adds:
“It’s probably our heaviest track so far and I just can’t get enough of that riff! Pure Gothenburg metal!”
Guitarist Euge Valovirta states:
”I intentionally wrote the song for one of my YouTube-videos and people really liked it and were asking where they could buy it. I sent it to Jake, and even he loved it instantly. He tweaked the verse and chorus a bit to make it a bit more of a Cyhra tune and it turned out fantastic. It’s kind of an old school Gothenburg style – melodic metal song and the title is a bit of a word play about a certain band that was one of the inspirations for the song. It starts with amazing drum fill by Alex and after that the cows are out from the barn and running wild. Hell yeah!”
Marcus Sunesson shares:
”’IF I’ is one of the faster, up-tempo songs on the new album. Cyhra’s way of paying homage to the Gothenburg scene with all the glorious melodies and riffs. A real banger and a fun song to play!”
Jesper Strömblad explains:
“This tune is the fastest track we ever wrote. It’s so much fun to play, we can’t wait to share it with you on stage. See you in the pit!”
