Lost Horizon - Start Recording New Material


Almost five years have passed since the release of "A Flame To The Ground Beneath" and after the turbulence the band experienced. The remaining members now realize this period was necessary to regain the energy, strength, motivation and inspiration needed to continue with the unearthly creations.

While continuing the search for the voice, which will be embraced by our music, the recording of the new material will be carried through independently of that and immediately, starting in January 2008. All instruments will be successively fully recorded and maybe even mixed without vocals on. All skeptical or frightened by this procedure should know/be-reminded it was more or less the same case with "Awakening The World" album when Daniel's vocals was post-mixed after the instrumental mix in Studio Fredman.

Martin, Wojtek and Christian, the founders of the band, together with Attila, who all shared the same vision and goals, are once again the core of Lost Horizon and so it will remain in the future to avoid the destructible situations of too many wills and visions coming in conflict with each other.

"With this in mind we also have decided not to approach any offers of a record deal with record labels only to be cosmically ripped off, limited or controlled. We will take care of all studio and graphical matters by ourselves. Moreover, the material is not going to be recorded all at the same time, but song by song. If the singer problem is solved relatively shortly, then the songs will be available to buy directly after each one is totally processed and ready for the world. All songs will be distributed through the website.

According to our philosophy we want to establish a direct channel between us and our fans where our music and artwork will be distributed directly from our website, supervised by Valgorth, The Apocalyptic Blaster Of Rats In Cosmic Fury, to avoid any annoying, irrelevant interference by any greedy companies making it impossible to make a living as an artist/musician unless you sell a million copies.

This will be also Your chance to join us on the path to bring back the music to the listeners and musicians, promote the music You love and make musicianship once again the beautiful art form it once was!"

- In faith, Lost Horizon

this is really great news, these guys made two fantastic albums back in 2001 and 2003

but one song at a time from their website? I would rather they save all their material for a new album and just release it all in one go..

still.. it is good to hear from them again!

The only power metal vocalist that could try to sing in Lost Horizon is the one of Dragonland in my opinion.

Excellent news, they make a valid point about profit too, although I would like to own whatever they might release on CD, as an official release, curse them!

someone mentioned that the dude of Dragonland will be a good replacement.....oh please not. He has a seriously annoying voice, and sounds so forced and almost obonoxious. LH needs someone who can sing while making it sound natural and mature. I think Daniel should come back thats the only solution....noone else is good enough.

Holy crap, I had to read the title of the news article three times to make sure I was reading it properly.

I was just about ready to lose hope in new material. That 30 second "preview" thing they had up on their site a year or two ago didn't really count. I'm officially excited.
