NEW HORIZON DEBUTS NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR 'EVENT HORIZON'

DEBUT ALBUM, "GATE OF THE GODS" DUE MARCH 11, 2022

NEW POWER METAL BAND FROM ERIK GRÖNWALL & JONA TEE

Vocalist Erik Grönwall and songwriter/producer/multi-multi-instrumentalist Jona Tee, former bandmates in H.E.A.T., are continuing their musical partnership by unleashing New Horizon, their new power metal brainchild! Today, the band has premiered their newest single and music video, 'Event Horizon'. Watch HERE:

"When we tracked vocals for 'Event Horizon', that's when we noticed something was seriously wrong with my health. I think it was the day after or something that I went to the emergency and was diagnosed with leukemia. So, I have a lot of emotional connection to this song. I know it's inspired by the movie Interstellar, but, personally, I can’t help referring to that challenge and my life 'Into the void… pulled by massive gravity… leaving the whole world behind…. Losing control…. Drift into darkness…. seeing my life flash before my eyes'" - Erik Grönwall

The duo's debut album, "Gate Of The Gods" will be released on March 11, 2022 via Frontiers Music Srl on CD/LP/Digital. (Please note, due to ongoing worldwide manufacturing delays with vinyl, the LP version will be released on April 15th.) Pre-order "Gate Of The Gods" on CD/LP/Digital HERE: https://orcd.co/newhorizon

After a few months of secretive work in the studio, the reunion of Grönwall and Tee brings us a true metal record which will leave an unexpected imprint on the power metal scene. The epic and powerful music keeps a solid heavy metal foundation while delivering truly infectious melodies. Fans of Grönwall will delight in hearing his vocals in arguably the finest form of his career, wailing like a metal warrior delivering these anthems from the highest mountain top. And Tee, as usual, delivers an incredible production befitting of these power metal hymns.

Robban Bäck (Mustasch), Sam Totman (DragonForce), Love Magnusson (Dynazty), Dave Dalone (H.E.A.T), Niko Vuorela (Temple Balls), and Laucha Figueroa are all guest musicians/contributors to "Gate Of The Gods".

The seeds of NEW HORIZON were planted in Jona’s youth given that he grew up listening to (and still loves) Iron Maiden, Helloween, Hammerfall, Manowar, Edguy, and the like. Heavy metal is in his blood and New Horizon is something that is flowing through his veins and extremely close to his heart. He always dreamed of releasing his own power metal anthems one day. When asked about the sound of New Horizon, Jona Tee describes it as "a mix between classic power and heavy metal, with a touch of 2021.”

The initial idea for New Horizon, at first, was to have several lead vocalists perform on the album; however, that changed when Erik Gronwall came to the studio to record two songs for the album. Despite Erik having recently departed H.E.A.T, both guys felt the need to continue working together. The songs Jona had written for the debut New Horizon album were 'a match made in hell' for Erik’s voice. Since he is an insanely versatile singer who could give the project a more band-like feel, Jona knew he was the man for the job. Sharing Jona's passions for the genre, Erik gladly joined NEW HORIZON and delivered the vocal beast that lay inside him to bring Jona's power metal vision to life. With the recording of those two initial songs, they started brainstorming and visualizing a future together under the banner of New Horizon...and they liked what they heard and saw.

“It felt so natural to continue working together. We have toured together pretty much all over the world and released music together for a decade. Jona is truly like my brother, by blood, and New Horizon will be the catalyst for us to release great metal together and just have fun,” says Grönwall.

If you like power metal, then this is simply going to be one of the contenders for your album of the year!

DAWN OF SOLACE Share New Video Clip for "Event Horizon"! "Flames of Perdition" to be released January 28th on Noble Demon

Recently, Finland's very own DAWN OF SOLACE announced its third full-length record, titled Flames of Perdition, which is set to be released via German powerhouse label Noble Demon. Initially scheduled for a release on November 12th, the album unfortunately had to be pushed back to January 28th due to the worldwide situation and delays in physical production. But what better way to pass the time than with a new single and video? Today, the solo-project by WOLFHEART's Tuomas Saukkonen unveils a brand new music video for the moving track "Event Horizon".

"I am sure we all have been in a situation where you feel like being stuck in a dark hole without the strength to climb up and all you would want to do is to be somewhere else. Far and distant place where you could almost be someone else." Tuomas Saukkonen states.

Watch the video clip for "Event Horizon" (feat. Mikko Heikkilä of Kaunis Kuolematon on vocals) here:

As a true master of his craft, on Flames of Perdition Tuomas Saukkonen once again invites the listener on a dark journey through the spheres of melodic doom. With eight brand new songs (+two bonus tracks), the upcoming full-length record is exactly what you would expect to get from the death and goth metal icon: beautiful melodies and a breathtaking atmosphere of incomparable class.

Flames of Perdition drops January 28th via Noble Demon and is available for pre-order digitally, in different vinyl colors, as digipak CD or in various merch bundles here:

New Album, Premonitions, OUT NOW!

Dark and violent shaded atmospheric black metal rises with Premonitions

Today the maestros of levitating bleakness, SOJOURNER, release their third single “The Event Horizon” and their new album Premonitions via Napalm Records. 

The doom-inspired closing epos epitomizes the somber atmosphere of Premonitions. Radiating both melancholic and contemplative energy, “The Event Horizon” is the heaviest track the band has released – a weighty pinnacle of the initiated stylistic journey, showcasing both growls and stunning melodies that enrich the unmistakable sonic niche the group has established for themselves. 

Singer Emilio Crespo states:

““The Event Horizon“ is a song where some of the worst feelings in someone can come to life. A sense of dread, loss, isolation and the overall sensation of nothingness takes over. I thought it would be fitting to take some inspiration from a black hole in space. To spiral until the point of no return (or in a black hole's case, Singularity). There can be hints of nihilism found in the song as well. When I listen to the song I can still immerse myself in the dark world we painted with the song and it stands as a very powerful track for me."

Guitarist Mike Lamb adds:

"On the first two albums we always had more triumphant closers, but after the year that we've all had we knew this album would end on a much darker note. The song is a very doom-inspired track that constricts at the end to mirror the audio equivalent of the song constricting to a point of no return, like its namesake. As an album closer we wanted it to mark a metaphorical definitive closing of this horrible chapter of our lives so that we can move onto new things as a band and as individuals."
