(written by Islander) “WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF LIES!” That’s part of what Nuclear Tomb vocalist/guitarist Michael Brown yells at the top of his lungs in the song we’re about to premiere, and no one with a thimbleful of brain could argue with him. To underline the point, the song’s accompanying video flashes images […]

If you care at all about hardcore music and the people who make it, yesterday was a terrible fucking day. Bo Lueders died. Brady Ebert (allegedly) tried to kill Brendan Yates’ father. Shit is fucked up. I was wandering around in a fog all day. I needed a pick-me-up, and Division Of Mind’s new album…

Swedish melodic metal outfit Cyhra are marking their tenth anniversary with the announcement of their fourth studio album, Requiem For A Pipe Dream, due 06/05 via Reigning Phoenix Music. The news comes alongside the release of the new single “Bleed With Pride.”
Vocalist Jake E, who co-founded Amaranthe before launching Cyhra in 2016 alongside guitarist Jesper Strömblad (formerly of In Flames, now of The Halo Effect), says the track is rooted in a personal reckoning with the past.
“‘Bleed With Pride’ is about learning to trust your scars instead of hiding them. For a long time, I carried the weight of the past like something that needed to be buried. But the truth is, those wounds kept me honest. They became my compass. This song is about the internal war — the silent thunder you fight inside — and choosing not to let it drown you. If I’m going to bleed, it’s not out of shame anymore. It’s with pride. Because every scar means I survived, I rebuilt, and I kept burning.”
Pre-order the album here.
The single sets the tone for an album built around themes of resilience, identity, and the cost of holding on to something after it slips out of reach. The title frames that tension deliberately — a requiem marks an ending, while a pipe dream is something believed in against the odds. On this record, the two collide.
Requiem For A Pipe Dream was shaped during a period of uncertainty for the band, and the material reflects it. The ten tracks move between vulnerability and force, cycling through doubt, anger, acceptance, and forward momentum, with heavy riffs and driving rhythms underpinning the more expansive melodic elements that the band built their name on.
Cyhra have covered significant ground since their 2017 debut Letters To Myself, which earned strong reviews and landed them on a North American tour alongside Sabaton and Kreator. Their 2019 follow-up, No Halos In Hell, pushed further into melodic territory, with “Out Of My Life” accumulating around 11 million streams on Spotify.
A European run with Battle Beast, UK dates with Delain, festival appearances at Bloodstock Open Air and 70000 Tons Of Metal, and headline shows in Finland and Japan followed. Guitarist Marcus Sunesson joined in 2020, and the band’s third album, The Vertigo Trigger, arrived in 2023, supported by dates across Scandinavia.
The current lineup is Jake E on vocals and keys, Euge Valovirta on guitars and bass, Jesper Strömblad on bass and guitars, Marcus Sunesson on guitars, and Alex Landenburg on drums.

This morning, my entire social media feed is mad about a New York Times article with this viciously stupid headline: “They Pay $34 for Burgers. Should Their Child Care Be Free?” That’s how these fucking guys always want to frame it. Annoying rich people exist, so nobody anywhere should ever get anything for free. Don’t bring that shit up around Comrade Cardi.
