Архив новостей | Русская версия
Swedish melodic metal supergroup CYHRA — featuring AMARANTHE co-founder Jake E and current KAMELOT, THE CROWN and SUBURBAN TRIBE members — has unveiled the new music video for "Venom In Me" filmed by Lasse Arkela while on tour as guests of DEAD BY APRIL.
"Venom In Me" is taken from CYHRA's fourth studio album, "Requiem For A Pipe Dream", released on June 5, 2026, via Reigning Phoenix Music.
Alongside the release of the video, CYHRA has introduced the band's new bass player Ben Varon (AMORAL, OCEANHOARSE).
Jake says: "We are absolutely thrilled to officially welcome Ben Varon as the new bass player for CYHRA.
"Ben is a phenomenally talented musician whom many in the scene already know and respect from his fantastic work with AMORAL and OCEANHOARSE.
"Interestingly enough, Ben has been diving deep into his passion for the bass lately, and when the stars aligned for us to work together, everything just fell perfectly into place.
"Our fans in Finland, Estonia, and Latvia already got a blistering first taste of what he brings to the table live during our recent run with DEAD BY APRIL. The energy he brings to the stage and how naturally he locked into our groove during those shows proved he's the perfect fit. It marks the start of an amazing new chapter for CYHRA, and we can't wait for the rest of the world to experience this new energy!"
Ben adds: "How cool is this?! After being friends with Euge for about 25 years, having supported CYHRA with my old band OCEANHOARSE at multiple shows, and being a fan of the band since the first album... now I'm actually in the band!
"I'm stoked and proud to be part of the group, and can't wait to get back onstage with the guys again soon, as well as writing new CYHRA music together."
A formidable musical pedigree can open doors. What happens beyond them is what ultimately defines a band. Since their formation in 2016, Swedish melodic metal powerhouse CYHRA have transformed an extraordinary collection of individual musical histories into something with an identity, ambition and creative force entirely its own.
Founded by AMARANTHE co-founder and vocalist Jake E alongside former IN FLAMES guitarist Jesper Strömblad, CYHRA emerged with the kind of credentials that immediately commanded attention. Yet the musicians involved had little interest in simply revisiting their respective pasts. Their vision was rooted in the possibilities of what could come next: a sound where the muscular aggression of Scandinavian metal collided with towering melodies, cinematic atmosphere, electronic textures and an unmistakable sense of emotional urgency.
Today, CYHRA comprises Jake E on vocals, Euge Valovirta and Marcus Sunesson on guitars, Alex Landenburg on drums and Ben Varon on bass. Between them lies a remarkable history spanning some of melodic and extreme metal's most recognizable names, including AMARANTHE, KAMELOT, THE CROWN and SUBURBAN TRIBE. Those individual histories remain part of the band's foundation, but a decade of shared musical exploration has given CYHRA a legacy that belongs to them alone.
