Biografia : Cyphoria

It all began a brief time before the summer holiday 2003 when (Singer/Guitarist) Ali Horuz together with (guitarist) Andreas Backlund decided to start up a serious band, Ali had been playing with serveral bands that were'nt so fledged when it came to playing skills and Andreas had benn occupied with a carrer in table tennis but now decided to quit in order to focus on the band. Now they decided to actually find a few mates who really were able to perform in an adequate respect. We matched up with drummer Alexander Weding who was an old friend and played a few tunes together. It worked out good and he was very positive on joining the band. At the same time Fredrik Carlsson(Bass) who Ali had been playing with in a former band and Lena Hjalmarsson(Synthesizers) who was an old friend joined the band.


Ali and Andreas who writes the songs had a couple of tunes ready which helped to try out everbodys abilities together and everything matched really well. We all listen to similar genres in the Metal scene so the music written represents everybodys taste and the line up is truly steady. One could say that the sound is pretty personal an mixes elemements from the original gothenburg sound and a symphonic but still heavy mix of orchestral elements and thrashy riffs.

In ferbruary 2004 we recorded a demo in a local studio to send our material to several record companies in order to obtain a record deal. Unfortunately our individual economy didn't allow us to record for more than 2 days and we couldn't record more than 3 songs but we found it adequate to display our songwriting and playing abilities. A lot of strong songs have been written. We have material for over a full record with great songs. Over 16 songs have now been written and rehearsed and more is yet to come.

We are very confident in our playing abilities and have recieved great response from a great range of audiences Metal as non metal. Several radio stations have commented us very positive and played up our music. We are now used to play live and perform everytime we get the oppurtounity.

Unforunately Andreas Backlund quit the band because of his lack of interest in metal.

An adequate replacement has been found. The guy is named Christian and is 26 years old. Quite i virtuoso actually and plays extremely clean tones.
