Wojtek Lisiki is leaving Lost Horizon for "personal reasons." Given that he is the chief songwriter, this is a startling development to perhaps what is Power Metal's most adept band.
Lost Horizon shakeup

That's a shame - what was his stage name? Something to do with Transmogrification right? 
Two good albums though are better than none.
Still waiting for sophomore albums from Elvenking and Ensiferum...

yup those names are definitely something to leave behind!
one advantage: he's not the singer. if the others can find a replacement guitarist and begin their own composing, we may see a development. the only thing I didn't like about the 2nd album is that other than the expanded band, they didn't advance musically.

I severely need to buy these albums. I saw the first album in HMV last year and as soon as I saw the photos I thought "these guys will be good!" ^_^

Trying to find threads on Lost Horizon...our good lizard (RIP) was the only person to have created one. So I resurrect....has anyone here NOT heard the Lost Horizon debut, "Awakening the World"?
Seriously, it's 10/10 buy or die, provided you're ok with traditional heavy metal. J can ignore this thread.
1001 riff salad, speed, precision, melody, hooks, catchy choruses, real 'singing' vocals (not thrash shouty shouty)....could have ended up in the other melodic speed metal thread.
np: "Heart of Storm"

yeah, so it turns out that the whole cheesy image thing is just part of an entire "anti-metal" message they put together
If you read the band lyrics and liner notes, they're actually making fun of the stereotype of what metal has become -- the clothes, the cheese factor, the make up, and even the stage names...all supposed to represent the "irony" of it all....
...and then of course you put the music on and it pretty much blows you away. The lyrics have nothing to do with swords, dragons, vikings, conan, etc, it's all about self-preservation and less about "feel good" fantasy.
Basically, they totally flipped it on its head.

yeah, the first album is a must to everyone. The second is a bit "meh", but still good. I wonder if they found a replacement for their singer?

Both albums are very good melodic euro- power metal, the way it should be, so energetic, powerfull, inspired and with a perfect voice for the genre.
