The Gothenburg based band Cyphoria was founded in 2003
and has so far only released this demo that was recorded in 2004. The
band plays melodic death metal and since this demo was done the band
has written and rehearsed new material.
After the first song Transcendental Requiem Of Fire that
serves as an intro, Cybernetic Enhancements starts with fast pace death
metal. The track has melodic guitar leads and the music can be described
as a less extreme Cradle Of Filth and as longer the song goes on it
drifts more towards the melodies and the more heavy metal oriented parts
from Children Of Bodom. The sounds of the guitars are crisp and sharp
and this is a very good track of melodic death metal.
Nightwing feels to be more heavy metal oriented with the
structure even if it comes out in the end as melodic death metal. It
has an even more apparent vibe of Children Of Bodom, the leads and melodic
breaks are very similar but the keyboard and guitar do not harmonise
as much as I would have wanted to. Instead the keyboard is ever present
in the background taking up too much space and is taking away some of
the aggressive edge.
Cyphoria further has a touch of the Gothenburg sound and
are well on their way to become a really good band, since they already
sound to be tight in their performance. I can easily recommend Cyphoria
to fans of melodic death metal in the vein of Children Of Bodom. If
there is anything they should work on it is to tone down the keyboard
or to harmonise it more with the guitars, and a bit more complexity
to the songs wouldn't hurt either. Since this demo was released Lena
Hjalmarsson has quit the band and Cyphoria is currently seeking a new
keyboard player.
