In 2010, Jesper Strömblad left IN FLAMES, followed by Peter Iwers in 2016. Sometime after, it was announced that these two would be joining forces, accompanied by Jake E., who left AMARANTHE earlier this year. With Alex Landenburg [ex-ANNIHILATOR], they formed CYHRA, and were later joined by session guitarist Euge Valovirta [ex-SHINING] to make a full five members. CYHRA‘s debut album, “Letters to Myself,” was released on October 20th, 2017, with their live debut to follow at Nosturi in Helsinki on October 27th. Naturally, with Musicalypse favorite EMBER FALLS opening, alongside the unknown EYES WIDE OPEN, this was a night to brave the early autumn snow and head into town. Check out our interview with Peter Iwers here, and have a look at the full gallery here.
