NHORIZON - SKYDANCERS - 2009

Bart: Highly unoriginal. Yeah that could apply to this disc. But also: highly energetic. A lot of spirit put into. And a keyboardist who, even with cowboy hat on his head and eyeliner on, knows how to carry the songs and play blistering leads.

Nhorizon is a band from Italy that simply loves to play heavy metal but didn't get stuck in sounds of the past. There is a modern touch to the sound that makes this band stand apart from other traditional heavy/power bands. The light Italian accent in the lyrics somehow make the lyrics sound more heartfelt and emotive. The band shows in the ballad 'Remember You' to be able to create a very own idea of what a ballad can be: progressive and sensational yet very emotional. By now you may delete my first two words. They don't matter anymore. This is a band doing what they do best, and it sounds very convincing. And what's more important: it's a lot of fun to listen to!
