New Horizon is a new Swedish power/heavy metal band centered around the duo of core members Erik Grönwall and Jona Tee, both formerly or currently of the band H.E.A.T.

Jona started New Horizon in order to quench his thirst for playing power/heavy metal. He grew up listening to and loving bands like Iron Maiden, HammerFall, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Judas Priest, and Symphony X, among others, and always dreamed of releasing his own power metal anthems one day. The initial idea for New Horizon at first was to have several lead vocalists perform on the album; however, that quickly changed when Erik came to the studio to record two songs for the album.

Despite Erik having recently departed H.E.A.T., both guys felt the need to continue working together. The songs Jona had written for the debut New Horizon album were 'a match made in hell' for Erik’s voice. With the recording of those two initial songs, they started brainstorming and visualizing a future together under the banner of New Horizon - and they liked what they heard and saw. When asked about the sound of New Horizon, Jona Tee describes it as "a mix between classic power and heavy metal, with a touch of 2021.”

“It felt so natural to continue working together. We have toured together pretty much all over the world and released music together for a decade. Jona is truly like my brother, by blood, and New Horizon will be the catalyst for us to release great hard rock/metal together and just have fun,” says Grönwall.

Robban Bäck (Mustasch), Sam Totman (DragonForce), Love Magnusson (Dynazty), Dave Dalone (H.E.A.T.), Niko Vuorela (Temple Balls), and Laucha Figueroa are all guest musicians/contributors to the debut album from New Horizon which will be released via Frontiers Music Srl.
