Contents Introduction Yona Tee and Eric Gr?nwall. Any melodic hard rock fan will know of the numerous achievements these two made as members of H.E.A.T. However, Eric suddenly announced his departure from H.E.A.T in 2020. Eric's departure, after making a significant contribution to the band's growth, came shortly after the release of their masterpiece, "H.E.A.T II," shocking fans. Furthermore, in the spring of 2021, Eric announced that he was undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This situation threatened his artistic career, but he persevered with treatment and announced his full recovery in the fall of the same year, reassuring fans. While it was expected that his artistic activities would be restricted for a while, he suddenly launched a new band, NEW HORIZON, with Yona, and announced the release of their debut album in early 2022. Fans rejoiced at the prospect of hearing music from this golden duo again. Jonah wrote most of the songs and played most of the instruments on their debut album, "Gate Of The Gods." Guest appearances included Dave Daron (G) of H.E.A.T, Love Magnusson (G) of DYNAZTY, and Sam Totman (G) of DRAGONFORCE. Most people expected a style similar to H.E.A.T, but it turned out to be a powerful melodic power metal album that defied expectations, surprising fans, but its undeniable quality was met with great acclaim. However, another surprise awaited the fans: almost simultaneously with the release of their debut album, it was announced that Eric had joined SKID ROW. While it was exciting for him, who had long publicly acknowledged his influence, to join his idolized band, it also meant a stagnation for the newly formed NEW HORIZON. In response to this situation, Jonah decided to search for a new singer. The person ultimately chosen as the second lead singer was Nils Molin, currently of DYNAZTY and AMARANTHE. Choosing him, a fellow Swede with extensive experience in both bands, was a natural progression. The band's initial concept was to feature multiple singers, and Nils was among them. This latest album, featuring Nils, is a pure melodic power metal work that continues the legacy of its predecessor. His vocals are powerful and soaring, as if he had been active in this band for decades, and the album is a culmination of power metal fans' desires.
