Cyhra have confirmed Ben Varon as their bass player and announced it with a film cut together from the shows he has already played.
Varon came up as the guitarist in Amoral, the Finnish band who spent a decade moving from technical death metal towards something far more melodic before stopping in 2016. He played the recent Cyhra tour with Dead By April through Finland, Estonia and Latvia, and the Venom In Me footage comes from those nights.
Jake E says the audiences in those three countries had already heard what Varon brings and that he locked into the band on stage rather than in a rehearsal room, which is how he decided it was permanent.
Venom In Me is the ninth track on Requiem For A Pipe Dream, the album Cyhra released on 5 June. The line up around it is Jake E singing, Jesper Strömblad and Euge Valovirta and Marcus Sunesson on guitars and Adde Larsson on drums.
The bass seat had been open since Peter Iwers left in 2018.
