│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Ex-AMARANTHE vocalist Jake E and former IN ║ │
│║ FLAMES guitarist Jesper Stromblad started this ║ │
│║ band in 2016, when they met to mutually discuss ║ │
│║ the direction of their careers and realized they ║ │
│║ were both looking for the same sound. Rounding ║ │
│║ out the line-up is the former bassist for IN ║ │
│║ FLAMES, Peter Iwers, and the current drummer for ║ │
│║ RHAPSODY, Alex Landenburg. ôSupergroupsö have ║ │
│║ always given me pause for concern, as the result ║ │
│║ is often that the whole is nowhere near the sum ║ │
│║ of the parts. However, the band doesnÆt consider ║ │
│║ themselves a supergroup and have just come ║ │
│║ together in the joy of mutually created music. ║ │
│║ ôLetters to Myselfö contains twelve tracks, and ║ │
│║ letÆs get to some of the highlights here. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Right out of the gate, ôKarmaö combines the ║ │
│║ audio elements of the aforementioned bands just ║ │
│║ as you might expect. The twin guitar harmonies ║ │
│║ that Jesper made famous with IN FLAMES combine ║ │
│║ with the super-slick pop sensibilities of ║ │
│║ AMARANTHE in a very pleasing way. On the kit, ║ │
│║ Landenburg knows when to keep things steady and ║ │
│║ heavy and when to add in some fills that ║ │
│║ showcase his intimate knowledge of percussion. ║ │
│║ The tender components in ôHere to Save Youö push ║ │
│║ a fast and furious riff with a big, emotional ║ │
│║ chorus that really melts you from the inside out ║ │
│║ as much as it does invigorate you with some ║ │
│║ aggression. The opening guitar notes in ║ │
│║ ôClosureö are thoughtful and dreamy. The lyrics ║ │
│║ reflect some of the personal journey that Jesper ║ │
│║ went through towards the end of his time in IN ║ │
│║ FLAMES. ItÆs such a memorable song that is ║ │
│║ unabashedly pretty and touching, including a ║ │
│║ heart-felt guitar solo. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôDark Clarityö is a mid-tempo song that offers ║ │
│║ up some fine guitar harmonies to go with the ║ │
│║ passion in Jake EÆs voice. I really like the ║ │
│║ fact that these ardent Metal mavens are letting ║ │
│║ something flow through them that breathes life ║ │
│║ and beauty over a never-ending heavy brutality. ║ │
│║ I have always maintained the former is much ║ │
│║ harder to do. ôBlack Wingsö is another emotive ║ │
│║ song that has ambient piano notes and an ║ │
│║ absolutely yearning vocal performance that ║ │
│║ spirals high into the horizon. JesperÆs lead ║ │
│║ breaks favor a pleasurable melody line over ║ │
│║ shredding speed. ôDead to Meö opens with some ║ │
│║ spoken words about coming to a crossroads and ║ │
│║ making a decision that doesnÆt lead to later ║ │
│║ regrets, and the resolve to overcome your ║ │
│║ greatest enemies and emerge renewed. ItÆs a ║ │
│║ fitting ending to a wonderful album that really ║ │
│║ reflects the band memberÆs journeys up to this ║ │
│║ point.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In sum, itÆs hard not to mention the sounds and ║ │
│║ influences that are present here from the past ║ │
│║ bands that the musicians were members in, but ║ │
│║ donÆt mistake this for a re-hash of those bands ║ │
│║ or albums that you have heard before. Instead, ║ │
│║ it is a great, modern combination of some of the ║ │
│║ best elements from their previous bands in a ║ │
│║ forward thinking sound where the melody is held ║ │
│║ in the highest regard. Looking for a familiar ║ │
│║ shirt to wear heading out for the night with a ║ │
│║ confident agenda, but also something ║ │
│║ contemporary to revitalize your current playlist ║ │
│║ that is getting stale? If so, pick up ôLetters ║ │
│║ to Myselfö from CYHRA and enter the modern age ║ │
│║ of Metal. ║ │
