Swedish heavy metal newcomers Zonata have been truly undergoing a constant evolution ever since they originally formed in 1998: Quickly recording their debut demo MCD The Copenhagen Tapes, the band received plenty of positive feedback (including impressive direct sales to Japan), soon after appearing on the "Unerhört" unsigned-bands compilation from Germany's leading Metal magazine Rock Hard with the track "Gate Of Fear", prompting plenty of record labels to approach them with interest in future co-operation. Century Media Records got the deal done and Zonata travelled to Germany to record their first album at Stage One Studios with producer Andy Classen. Tunes Of Steel received unanimous praise from the global Heavy Metal circuit (including a domestic release in Japan through JVC) and was often heralded as a front-running successor to the legacy established by the likes of Gamma Ray, Iron Maiden and early Helloween. Time didn't stand still in the realm of these young Borås-based musicians: Following the debut album's release, Zonata directly attacked further songwriting, reduced their line-up to a four-piece when second guitarist Henke Carlsson quit for the well-travelled "musical differences" and with a renewed focus some astounding new demo-tracks were recorded. Zonata felt ready to record again and after checking around for possible studios, they decided to enter Studio Underground in Västerås (Steel Attack, Carnal Forge, No Fun At All, etc.) to lay down eleven new songs and some bonus-track material for their second full-length disc, Reality.

Featuring an impressive step forward in terms of catchy songwriting, major melodies, ever-present bombastic keyboard lines and simply majestic vocal work, Zonata managed to create a very individual and outstanding Heavy Metal saga, influenced by the aforementioned traditional '80s Heavy Metal bands but nevertheless sounding as up-to-date in performance as uprising bands like Edguy and Kamelot. Reality accomplishes Zonata's goals in full: to fully represent their undisputed talent as both musicians and songwriters with an extremely well-suited and powerful production, a stylistic range between the melancholic and monumental ballad type of song ("Life?"), the unforgettable hook-based, midpaced pieces ("Reality", "Divided We Stand" or "Hollow Rain") as well as thundering Speed Metal songs ("Illusion Of Madness", "Forever" and the re-recorded demo track "Gate Of Fear") and is adorned with beautiful packaging courtesy of famed English artist Derek Riggs (Iron Maiden, Stratovarius, etc.). A full-on enchanting and addictive journey through spheres of pure melodic Heavy Metal reality!

#777In their short career, Sweden's Zonata only released three records (all of them different), and with their 1999 debut Tunes Of Steel, the band laid the groundwork for the two wonderful albums that followed, those being Reality and Buried Alive. Most people let Zonata slip by them, despite their immense talents, and it always saddened me considering they were on a pretty big label at the time. Not a band that's easy to describe, they certainly had their own unique take on melodic Power Metal, one heavily influenced by classical composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. Their sound is quirky, with an overabundance of odd twists and turns, making everything seem weird and carnival-esque. Reference points undoubtedly lie with mid-period Gamma Ray, and this is down to vocalist/keyboardist Johannes Nyberg (who you'll find showing up on various albums these days, performing backing vocals), because unlike most singers in the genre, he takes his cues from Kai Hansen, only his dwarven-metal wail is much stronger and more versatile than Kai's ever was. Another thing about his guy is his use of keyboards is limited to pianos and strings, which gives his playing a sophisticated sheen.

Despite the dizzy heights they would reach with their next two records, Tunes Of Steel is their most traditional sounding album, an honest attempt at neo-classical Power Metal greatness that supplies this in spades. Production-wise it is rather raw, but it does the job. The performances and songs more than make up for this. From the melodic first bars of "Dream Child" you know you're onto a winner, and the band never take you down a wrong path, with "Geronimo", "Thor (The Thundergod)", "Bring You Down To Hell", and "Criticized" all being wonderful Power Metal cuts, showing how much life can be squeezed out this genre with just a few subtle tweaks here and there.

If you're a fan of Gamma Ray, Iron Maiden, or even Dragonland you'll find much to love in Zonata. In fact, any fan of Power Metal should give this band a chance, because with so little effort they managed to astound with their originality, and blow away their competitors at every turn. The band would produce better albums than this, but this is just as worthy as its successors. Go out and get it.
