There are multiple artists by the name of Myra.

1) German metal band

Since their first release in 2006 MYRA has become a constantly growing institution in european metal scene. Founded in 2004 MYRA went thorugh some line up changes including Gert Rhymen (Deadlock). With this constant line up of highly motivated and ambitious musicians the band was able to record their first official output as mentioned above. It sold over 500 copies and gained first outstanding reactions by fans and press, without support by any label or distribution. 2007 brought the first tour and a new bass player completing today’s line up.

MYRA’s debut album The Venom It Drips, released in 2008, transformes the band into one of Germany’s most successful newcomers. The record was released via European Label Group having the tongues of press wagging a lot. Next to numerous headlining club shows across the whole country, MYRA brought their energetic live performance to enormous festivals like With Full Force, Mach1 or Sucks’n’Summer. Gaining a large following, the band is hard working towards the next step.

Now on the eve of their second full length named Godspeed – vocalist Sebastian Spillner, guitarists Rony Henkel and Henrik Zeltner, drummer Sebastian Schneider and bassist Felix Thyrolf – have merged their creativity and experience to produce a new monster of modern heavyness and melody by breaking traditional boundaries of metal, thrash and hardcore.

Again MYRA entered the Kick The Flame studios to work with Disillusion mastermind Andy Schmidt creating a diverse and thrilling sound. Overall, the band has become more complex and mature without losing energy and strength. Along with heavy guitar and bass riffs, raging drums and aggressive vocals comes a bunch of euphoric melodies enclosed in elaborate songwriting.

Packed with a set of ripping new songs and the ambition to burn every stage MYRA is ready to reach new heights.
