tts42572 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Interesting concept for an album but big blow losing Erik. I was lukewarm on the first album as I'm just not a big power metal guy but there were a couple songs I liked on it. I'll probably check this out but highly doubt it'll be of much interest to me.

lettard Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 (edited) Wasn't a fan of the debut (apart from maybe Stronger Than Steel) it was ok and unlike tts42572 I like a bit of power metal from time to time...but if I want to hear Nils Molin sing i'll quite happily listen to those first few Dynazty albums instead.

Captain Howdy Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Weird situation as I thought this "band" was essentially an Erik project and Jonah was just along for the ride as he is mates with Erik and still works with him on stuff like his covers. Maybe it's just a case that Erik is mostly tied up with Skid Row these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tts42572 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Music sounds cool but song/vocals overall not doing much for me. Having a hard time getting into a song called Daimyo...what the heck even is that? Some 16th century warrior or something? Meh. Overall, I've soured on projects like this in general so they need to really blow me away to make an impact and this isn't doing that.

Stefan Posted March 14 Author Report Share Posted March 14 (edited) From Frontiers: Jona Tee and Nils Molin is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of their album, ”Conquerors,” an epitome of power metal finesse, slated to hit the shelves on June 14th, 2024, via Frontiers Music. Fans can get a taste of the album’s epic melodies with the lead single and video ”Daimyo” out today. ”Conquerors” presents itself as a thematic anthology, delving into pivotal moments in history and the remarkable individuals who have shaped them. The track ”Daimyo” transports listeners to 16th century feudal Japan, narrating the saga of the renowned unifier Oda Nobunaga. Following a remarkable journey that saw vocalist Erik Grönwall joining Skid Row, New Horizon’s founder Jona Tee embarked on a mission to find a singer who could embody the essence of the band’s next chapter. His quest led him to longtime friend Nils Molin, renowned vocalist of Dynazty and Amaranthe. Upon encountering the band’s fresh material, Molin was immediately drawn in, igniting a powerful collaboration. Reflecting on their partnership, Jona Tee shared: ”At our first sit down in the studio he said ‘If I’m going to do this, I need to be 100% involved.’ Nils and I have been exploring the possibility of collaborating on a project for some time now. At first, I deemed it unlikely seeing as he’s got plenty on his plate already. However, I had to ask and was happily surprised that he considered it. And when we started bouncing ideas for lyrical themes the path forward appeared crystal clear. The die has been cast”. ”Conquerors” marks New Horizon’s sophomore album, showcasing their resilience and unwavering commitment to musical excellence. Nils’s commanding vocals seamlessly intertwine with Tee’s intricate melodies, resulting in a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly innovative. Expressing his excitement for the project, Nils remarked: ”My initial reaction to getting a text from Jona, asking me to sing on the new album was: Damn, I don’t have the time. But upon hearing some of the early material he was working on and after our first couple of sessions tracking vocals, effortlessly collaborating and mapping out a plan for the album, I decided that this simply needs to be done. CONQUERORS became a tale that grew in the making and ultimately expanding into an album way beyond my expectations, brim-packed with stellar songwriting, performances and surprise elements. If you like melodic metal – you’re in for a treat.” With ”Conquerors” poised for release, New Horizon is poised to ascend further in the power metal realm. Their dedication to musical craftsmanship and adaptability solidifies their position as a rising force in the genre. As they embark on this new chapter, New Horizon is prepared to conquer new frontiers and make an enduring impact on the music scene. ”Conquerors” Tracklist: Against The Odds King Of Kings Daimyo Shadow Warrior Apollo Fallout War Messenger Of The Stars Before The Dawn Edge Of Insanity Alexander The Great (356-323 B.C) Edited 8 hours ago by Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
