Cyhra release new music video for ‘If I’

CYHRA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track If I, is taken from the Swedish heavy metal supergroup’s upcoming new album, The Vertigo Trigger, which is scheduled to be released in August this year.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, vocalist Jake E says, “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 nine-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 says, “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!”

Guitarist Marcus Sunesson says, “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!” And guitarist/bassist Jesper Strömblad comments, “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!”
