Lost Horizon

[JayKeeley]

Has anyone heard Awakening the World? It is one of my fave CDs right now, and I have to add, this could be some of the best drumming I've heard in a long time on a power metal album. It's not just the usual humdrum double bass with no tempo changes from beginning to end.

This was my #2 album of the year last year! I STILL love it, fantastic disc! www.oncelosthorizon.com

I don't care what anyone says, this was the BEST album released last year.

Everything about it is perfect. When I got it, I thought it was a decent sounding, cheesy heavy metal record. When I listened to it the first time, I laughed at some of the lyrics: "I will help you remember by kicking your ass!".

After the first few listens, I realized that not only was the music great, the "cheesy" metal lyrics were really saying something.

Now, anytime I am feeling the weight of the world, I throw this disc in, raise my head to the sky, take my next deep breath, and revive my real strength! FUCK YEAH!

Agreed. Well, actually I would say this and Mandrake were the best CDs!

And by the way, the drummer is great, but so is the rest of the band - I think the vocalist is phenomenal. Can't wait to see them live (if they ever tour the US).

Glenn - hint hint.

For any fans of Lost Horizon, check out Elvenking - "Heathenreel". It contains slight more variation in its medleys but equally as powerful.

Lost Horizon kicks major ass!
Awakening the World is an amazing album which blew me away from the first time I heard it. I can't wait for their next release (anybody ahve an idea when it will be released?)
They would definitely make a great addition to ProgPower 4 or 5.
