Cyhra - Jesper and Peter's new band
- Thread starter Traxan

Letters to Myself is really different to Karma, less melodic guitar-wise. More focus on the vocals. Solo is a bit weak imo. Not exactly what I was expecting. It's alright but sounds like modern power metal, which a lot of people on here especially are going to hate.
Eh, well... Song is not bad, but vocals are so one-dimensional (although not utterly dreadful (see: Anders Frieden)). Kind-of-catchy-but-not-really vocal melodies and mediocre lyrics.
I guess I was hoping for something like mid-phase Mercenary. Convincing power metal vocals with powerful rhythms and melodeath melodies.
Instead we get very average melodic lines, high and thin vocals, skillful drummer who never does anything remotely interesting, solid melodic riffing and honestly, weak soloing.

#1 Mercenary are a great band, or were until Architect of Lies, haven't really followed them since that album. 11 Dreams, Loneliness and Bloodsong are three of my most played tracks across all my music.
#2 Karma is a much better track than Letters to Myself, I just hope they didn't blow their entire load with that song. Letters to Myself seems a bad choice for a second single. Chorus is kind of catchy but the rest of the song really kind of sucks. I was listening to Karma on repeat for days after it was released, I listened to this new song once and am happy for that to be the only time I ever hear it.

Yeah, 11 dreams is a great song. A bit of Nevermore influence in verses. Simple but effective solo.
In Letters to myself I was waiting for something to happen during the solo, but it never did. Jesper should really find good technical guitarist to complement his playing style.
