Fanisk - Noontide
Epheles - Le Dernier Pardon

A Flame to the Ground Beneath by Lost Horizon
There is a beauty that I long for...

"This music has utmost sincerity about what it is and what it wants to do. Like most power metal, its sound is positive and triumphant. But unlike most of the genre's luminaries, who make what is ultimately escapist music, Lost Horizon leverage their formidable skills towards uplifting and inspiring the audience. And they truly do. There is no deception - this is the most sincerely positive music I have ever heard, with no hint of irony in it. It positively glories in existence. I don't know how it's possible to listen to this band and not be joyful." - RNG on RYM
