  • The audio quality on this video is very poor... it sounds fuzzy, but its not like that on the CD.

    To bad the band never released a second album.. they were amazing and i sing all their songs by heart ;o

  • Poor Daniel. For the rest of his career he will have Lost Horizon fans pestering him constantly everywhere he goes. For most people he will be "that dude from lost horizon with the epic "aaaaaaaahhh!" screams. Heh.

    This is a good song, by the way. Maybe Heed will start ripping off Lost Horizon and we will get Highlander part 2.

  • This song is cool

  • do not compare heed and lost horizon. different bands but both have qualities. \m/

  • Why the hell did he leave Lost Horizon!?

  • @g0fux0rur53lf I have been new to lost horizon, started listening to em about 2 years ago, but don't know much about em, so he left lost horizone to heed? Hell, lost horizon was fucking epic, don't get me wrong, hes amazing here, just doesnt have the same feel to it at all.

  • @enuvia I'm not entirely sure, but by looking at the release dates of the Lost Horizon albums and then the release date of the Heed album, I'm pretty sure he left them for Heed. You're right he's still good in Heed, but he's so much better in Lost Horizon, hits way higher notes, way more epic high pitched power metal screams! Lost Horizon has been trying to put out a new album for like, 2 years now but haven't been able to find a singer yet :( I wish he'd just go back!

  • Comment removed

  • @Lolliitan 'The Call'

  • dam is the first time i hear u guys and dam u guys rock

  • why daniel?!?!

  • @glacier2win Man you think this is bad... look up Lavett... he sings there now since this band broke up... Long live Lost Horizon.

  • this is so awesome, Love  the singers voice.

  • lol extreme distortion ftw. dont like the lost horizon vocalist though

  • you left lost horizon for these bunch of clowns???!!! come back!!!!!!

  • you left lost horizon for these bunch of clowns???!!! come back!!!!!!

  • "Your power and voice are magnificent, the should be singing in any of the best bands in the world, HEED is small, with all due respect, the may be the future HEAVY METAL singer, WHAT´RE WAITING??"

  • but... Daniel never got along with the other guys in Lost Horizon, that is why he left. Still, I wish he would return and make another LH album with them^^

  • This is not bad, but it's nothing compared to Lost Horizon. Lost Horizon has something special about it that I've never heard anywhere else.

    Daniel, I beg you to go back to LH, 'cuz that's where your amazing talent really comes to it's right!

  • a love heiman...!!! i follow wherever you go!!! this man is god incarnate, long live to daniel....

  • Daniel, i'm begging you to go back to LH.

    I mean, this is not bad, but anyway... far cry from your work in Lost Horizon.

  • Lost Horizon without Daniel, is not Lost Horizon, Daniel out of Lost Horizon (I return to Lost Horizon

  • cool song, but i think it would be way better with less distortion. and i also think that daniel's best work was with LH

  • Hahaha, a good singer cannot be rated only because the high notes he reaches. This is a good performance and a good band. Daniel is great, of course, we don't forget how amazing his work was with Lost Horizon...

    Greetings from Colombia.

  • Daniel heiman is god

  • Ok I think this band is an epic fail. Reason is Daniel Heiman, he was like a hundred times better in Lost Horizon. With this band he can't fully express his vocal quality and hit those bloody extremely high notes. Besides that, his vocal is totally power metal oriented which means it really rocked in Lost Horizon, especially with Wojtek Lisicki on guitar - one of the sicker!! So I can only say this, it's really sad that happend and I can only pray he comes back to LH and rock the hell out again!

  • Ozzy is one of the single most overrated "musicians" of all time. When Ronnie James Dio was with Sabbath, they really had something for a short time - but I really can't respect what Ozzy does, as he reminds me of fast food; He's highly marketable, but he doesn't quite fill you up. I wouldn't compare the vocals of Black Sabbath to those of Cynic in the first place, except to say that they are both less than outstanding.

  • How do you feel about extreme metal like death metal? I wouldn't call those vocals timid by any means.

  • Oh absolutely not. Though I would then say that there is a line between music and audible garbage that must be drawn at some point. Death Metal and Black Metal vocals have their place, and there are many excellent vocalists who choose styles fitting and defined as belonging to these types of music. However, depending on HOW extreme you are talking, a lot of bands, through distasteful choice and sometimes through lack of skill, misuse these vocal styles in ways that just plain sound like shit.

  • I agree, I find genres like grindcore and deathcore take extreme vocals too far sometimes and the songs come off as too chaotic. I sit there struggling to find a rhythm really.

  • Agreed, completely.

  • But music lacking melody and harmony is entirely subjective. I've met people who don't really have the feel for any metal at all because it's simply too complex for them. Multiple tempos amongst different instruments and the speed at which they change notes is too much for them. They aren't bright people though. They like simple music like mainstream rap. Which consists of a few hand claps, a drum machine with a super basic beat and the lyrics that would put a hick to shame.

  • But, to answer your question - No, I do not believe that vocals must be of a perfectly clean pitch to exhibit talent and prove tasteful and even excellent. But as I said, if there is no sense of melody or harmony, and it comes off as completely incoherent drivel, to the point where it hardly sounds like a human being, we call that beatboxing ;)

  • Damn do I miss Daniel's vocals!!!! he f'n RULES...

  • that is alot of noise

  • Yes... alot of music...

  • good, but nowere near as good as lost horizon

  • @Joeofthejungle24 true true!!!!!

  • Seriously though, how can someone compare this to emo? The instrumentals alone separate it lol. Emo music is shit like Panic at the Disco and 30 Seconds to Mars.

  • The fact that there is actually a guitar solo puts it beyond elementary. I'd like to see Heiman utilize his vocals more too, but this song doesn't really call for it and it would sound out of place. I'm not really a fan of nu-metal either, but there's much worse out there to say the least haha. This is much more than just power chords and just about every band in the world has at least a few songs with emotional lyrics... more often than not it makes them better.

  • Some substantial points, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's out of the nu-metal neighborhood - the mic distortion adds all the emo undertone you need in a Fallout Boy song, and while there may indeed be much further from true metal than Heed, I wouldn't say that it's better to be poser in the metal genre than to suck outside of it. In fact, that kind of crap infuriates me worse, because it's akin to being attacked on your home soil. At least other crap doesn't dress up and call itself metal

  • So what you're saying is that since other metal bands that you like don't use a distortion effect on the vocals, this band shouldn't either?

  • Cynic distorts their vocals and if you think they're spineless, then you need help.

  • Cynic might not be QUITE spineless, but I'd hardly call them metal, and yes - it's largely due to their lack of believability as per their equal lack of edge. Metal is powerful and thereby empowering music, and when you distort your vocals which come off as timid and weak beforehand, it falls into a sort of Linkin Park venue where it adds to a sense of "Where the hell is this going, and why should I feel connected to it". Also Zodiac, I don't care what this band *did*/why, because they sucked.

  • Is Black Sabbath Metal then?

  • lolwut? Just because something has distored vocals means it isn't metal?

  • No. But Heed sounded (the band has since failed) like some sort of poppy, shallow radio-borne garbage that I would expect from a number of mainstream crap bands pretending to be metal, or at the very least pretending to be less shallow and timid than they are. In the end, I find this deeply offensive because I am very opposed to pretending, because it is the definition of a poser to do so.

  • Heiman was a vocalist of great potential who squandered his ability and in effect failed to reach and sustain his potential because he was inhibited by himself. Is it okay to wish to be successful? Absolutely. Is it okay to wish to become successful doing what you love, and using your inherent talents and abilities to achieve said success? Of course. But to pretend to be something you are not and to deny yourself of true self-expression but to still call yourself an artist, is a charade.

  • Um... Isn't leaving Lost Horizon because to express yourself better technically expressing yourself? He'd be pretending to be something he isn't by staying in Lost Horizon.

  • If indeed his self-expression sounds that average and mundane with the amount of natural talent he undeniably has, then it is a waste of said talent. How someone could find this technically unremarkable clip or others like it as any sort of fantastic is absolutely beyond me, but perhaps that is because I have a greater scope of metal music than a certain individual who might find it to be great simply because they have nothing to compare it to.

  • Rofl. It's still metal, even if he sells his soul. Just like Metallica is still metal with their newest album, even if it's mainstream garbage. Just like how this is still metal too.

  • Yeah, it's paint metal. Which is a bunch of posers using full distortion and thinking that's all it takes to be metal. This is about as metal as hair metal.

    Whitesnake 2.0 updated :P

  • When you value success over the road that leads you to it, and betray who and what you have shown yourself to be on a crusade for something as temporary and artificial as money, you aren't an artist practicing an art with the hope that people will see your own form of self-expression and that it will in turn make you successful. You are weak for betraying who and what you are in order to make what you think the largest number of people will deem profitable. Heed sounded like the epitome of that.

  • Hopely I don't carry a heavy burden of being a Lost Horizon fan, because I like Heed.

  • Holy shit, Lost Horizon fanboys really are some of the most annoying dickheads imaginable. Let Daniel do whatever he wants to and stop cutting your wrists over his choice of bands, seriously.

  • Fanboys? It was an alright band. But it was a fuck of a lot better than Heed. It sucks to see a talented vocalist go from power metal to nu metal, which can't even really be called metal given that it's so watered down and craptastic. The word fanboy doesn't apply at all, as the equation for selling out and being a poser is universal, and he fits the fuckin' bill. Be angry at someone else for it, asshat.

  • This isn't even nu metal dude. Nu metal is shit like Korn lol.

  • Exactly. And so it is.

  • .....really?

  • Lost Horizon was so much better than this emo crap. Way to bury the voice under distortion and synths to make it sound as garbage as the instrumentation.

    Failboat 0/10.

  • Emo? Wow, wtf...

  • Yeah, Emo. You know, like mainstream kiddy crypants crap. Like Heed. Good thing they broke up, I'm sure Danny boy is out looking to make it big some other way. When your focus is fortune and fame over the fuckin' music, you can't really call yourself a musician; You're a businessman, and your music will suffer for it. It's a fact; Look at what history tells you about bands like Metallica and In Flames (which wasn't that great to begin with but still).

  • Yeah, because most artists would turn down fame and fortune..

  • Whoosh, over your head.

  • and  I suppose that you are very clever boy or girl, i dont know what you are, because you know what is emo and power metal, so just stop selling us your shit because you r POSER L

  • Looooool. When you can form coherent sentences you may speak to me. Until then, a-fuckin'-dieu.

  • He's from Serbia, his native tongue isn't English most likely. Ignorant prick.

  • first of all, Im a girl, second, jebi si mater strebercino jedna iskompleksirana nenormalna i iscedi bubuljice, now you translate that clever boy, or jdi do hajzlu nafoukany debile. I feel sorry for you because you are a POSER, thats obvious, second,you dont even know what word coherent means and when you find that out, you could address to me, dummy

  • Well, I agree with you. Lost Horizon was a better utilization of Heiman's voice than Heed, or that new project of his - Lavett, which goes even farther into mainstream.

    I also agree with thehollow89. Can't believe that someone, actually, prizes himself for speaking his own native language better than the foreigner. Like that girl above, I'm from Serbia too and English is not my native language. Discriminating people because of that just shows how ignorant and intolerant person you are.

  • Incoherent sentence structure is incoherent sentence structure. That person didn't offer a single piece of opposing evidence to contradict what I was saying, and throwing words like dummy around is indicative of prepubescent intellect at best. I don't care what language you speak, if I don't speak it, it is useless to me. That is a fact, and has little to do with ignorance, so much as it does intelligence. Whisper amongst yourselves in as many languages as you like, I stand uncorrected.

  • Ahahah auu jbte!

    Yeah,translate that :P

    And btw Lost Horizon > Heed imo :)

  • I like Daniel Heiman as much as every power metal fan out there, but i am gonna be different and say i prefer the heavier stuff of Heed as opposed to the keyboard driven melodic stuff from Lost Horizon, i do like Lost Horizon though :)

  • I can't even hear Daniel's amazing voice. This is complete shit compared to Lost Horizon. Go give Wojtek a hug and get back in a good band.

  • Daniel Heiman is the best singer in the world IMO. He made a stupid decision to leave Lost Horizon for Heed, but i still enjoy to both Heed and Lost Horizon. Heed broke up and now Daniel is working in a new band called Lavette (lame) or something like that. I dont blame Daniel for leaving those bands though...he just wants to be famous. Lost Horizon / Heed didn't attract enough people, unfortunately. Probably because Power Metal isn't popular enough.

  • It is entirely sad that they aren't as big as they should be. Especially him.

  • disturbed's slightly heavier twin brother....such a waste

  • Great song, but this video is pretty dull. But that's the norm with most metal videos.

  • go back to Lost Horizon Daniel for fuck sake!

  • da singing is sick, kinda like his lost horizon and crystal eyes shit, but the guitars sound swaagggg!!!!!

  • this has nothing to do with greatness and splendor of Lost Horizon....sh1t.

  • epic woteva guyz.. Wojtek Lisichki has nothing to do wit Heed... you stupid ass...:P

  • nice.. Heiman kick ars

  • Atrocity. Heed be fucked, get Wojtek back.

  • This band rocks! And the singer is awsome! \m/

  • Saw them at PPUK2 some time ago, stood in for Scar Symmetry, a good substitution if you ask me

  • Simply Brutal and Awesome!!!

  • Vocals OWN.

  • Why are all those LH-groupies posting here?

    Heed is so much better than LH, the songs are way more catchy and are of higher quality. Daniel Heiman is perfect for this band. I'm only a bit worried about the new album, this album was so perfect.

  • because numetal sucks

  • higher quality than Lost Horizon? AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAAHAHAHAHAHA

  • the guitar playing is my mum's kusin

  • So funny to read all this about Daniel. All the kids that cant hear how amazing he sings In Heed should get their ears cleaned out. He shows how wide he is here and the music just blows most ive heard away. Speaking LH, sure an awesome band but there cant be nothing wrong with trying to breaking new grounds and honestly, Daneils singing isnt all about screaming.. neh.. cant even speak how good hes singing is here,, both feeling and attitude.. cant be better.. period..

  • You people need to realize that daniel does what he feels like doing. And Im sure he's pretty fed up with this "go back to lost horizon crap! Yes, lost horizon was, and still is one of the best metal bands I've heard. But Daniel makes any band sound awsome because he's an awsome guy. so just chill..!

  • daniel he is too much for this fucking band :S, he sounded better in lost horizon, his high notes and the band were just great the best power metal band on earth but then he left the band -.- (lost horizon)

  • And I'm thinking of meeting Daniel, it would be kinda fun ^^

  • I really like these guys, this is the only metal I listen too, And since I've talked to the basist in his other group, and my father worked with 'em I've got their album kinda early :P

  • Daniel Heiman GO TO LOST HORIZON PLEEEEASE. Your talent is being wasted.

  • I second that

  • I third that.

  • I fourth that. He was so much better in LH. What I wouldn't give to hear him make another LH album.

  • Agreed. I would want to hear anouther LH Album with Heiman, more than any other album from any band. LH Kicked so much ass and its a shame that they only lasted 2 albums with Daniel.

  • Absolutley true!!

  • I cant belive it.That Daniel left LH,he was so much better in LH.sad.I hope he returns to LH as soon as posible...

  • if a new lost horizon cd came out with daniel heiman singing i can guarantee everyone i would instantly cream myself.

    PLEASE GO BACK DANIEL THERES STILL TIME!!!!

  • I'm a faithful Lost Horizon buff since 2003, their two albums are outstanding!!! Unique style ,sound, lyrics, message !! Hadn't listened to such a great albums(in fact 2) since helloween's "Keepers"... After leaving LH ,heiman recorded 1 album with Crystal Eyes, no wonder this band also rockz.. Whichever band Heiman is in, it's worth my support& respect!! Great job guys!!

  • heiman has the most brutal forceful voice that a human ear ever heard.HE can make you cum and bleed at the same time... heed is awesome but still LH is just...well LH is real metal...the definiton of metal. Everybody was great there and no body can replace heiman... I want them back togheter! Want with me! remember there is no faith only the power of will!

  • I really like lost horizon!

    My fav Power metal band!

    Then I bought the Heed Album, and i think this is pretty fuckin good work they did.

    Well written songs, nice lyrics, and the voice is just immense!

    Anf if someone says that Lost horizon had weak lyrics, then I wanna know what lyrics were betteR?

    Lost horizon has BEST LYRICS I've ever seen in this genre, and in nearly all others too!

    Infernal hail

  • If you think forever, things will never change.

    So, to solve your problems, stop using your brain...

  • guess u didnt get the point....

  • Oh I understand the point, religious enlightenment bullshit.

  • wawwk waaawk waaawk waaaaaaaw

  • The song "Think Not Forever" alone owns Heed.

  • Wow, Daniel left Lost Horizon (true power metal) for Heed? Seriously, what a waste of an amazing vocalist...I don't understand why he left Lost Horizon. The lyrics are nowhere near the level Lost Horizon had when Daniel was with them. Sad

  • They kicked him out I was led to believe.

    Also the lyrics for Lost Horizon were mostly bullshit.

  • Lost Horizon lyrics were bullshit? Guess you did not understand then.

  • Oh yeah, they're shite because I'm not "enlightened" ROLLS EYES!

    "If you think forever, things will never change".

    Right...

  • this is pretty funny. redcoat seems to assume things pretty fast. give me a hug buddy i think you need a hug

  • Well right now I do, my girlfriend of 2 years broke off.

    So yeah, damn straight I'll take that hug.

  • Daniel did not get kicked, he left the band because they were assholes.

  • IS MY DAD :D:D:D:D my dad= he play BAS :D

  • What a haters here

    Heed is so much better than Lost Horizon

    this stuff is amazingly well written

  • i have difficulty coping with heidmans voice, i think he changes the tones to much, which makes it hard to listen to. but that's only my opinion

  • Heiman is absolutely nothing without Wojtek and Lost Horizon .

  • And unfortunatley Lost Horizon have been nothing after he left.. I love Lost Horizon and can't wait to hear the replacement for Daniel.

  • Agreed. He needs to go BACK.

  • Lost Horizon was much better, What a waste of such a fine vocalist...

  • Couldn't agree more...

  • Lost Horizon was much better, What a waste of such a fine vocalist...

  • How dare you all question the WILL of Lord Heiman's will?

    He will do what he wishes!

    I loved Lost Horizon, and while Heed has a quite different style, I shall follow Heiman where he goes, no matter what dark realm of music may it be.

  • its about the good vocalist mr heiman is.. the music its not that bad, but it increases the main thing.. the great vocals

  • Daniel has got one heck of a voice. Dude is amazing. I must admit that i liked Lost Horizon better though

  • Hes our Metal Hero/God/Maker xD

  • lost horizon is much better

  • Go back to lost horizon.... we miss you. This band isnt 1/4 as good as Lost Horizon

  • the new songs,check the demos in myspace,are far better

  • At least there's a guitar solo, I had almost lost all hope... But seriously, waste of a good vocalist.

  • This is fucking gay, it sounds like Linkin faggot park or something like that. Why the fuck would he leave lost horizon for this?

  • The bald bloke was fantastic in Lost Horizon, Why did he leave?

  • I'm guessing that he didn't like singing about the same stuff all the time and that he also didn't like having no input into the band.

  • Listen to whole album The Call.Its perfect,one of the best i've ever heard.This song is not good as others.

  • well thats album is not that good, but i like some song there. My fav is nr 9, Hypnosis.

  • my mama likes it, so it cant be good!

  • This is a really good album, great stuff. Different style than Lost Horizon but some really cool music still.

  • this fuckin sucks!

    he sounds like any generic pop artist now

    especially with the pooey effects on his voice in the intro.

    lh sounded so unique imo, so did he.

    this just sounds like generic nu metal.

    :(

  • Sorry, but compared to Lost Horizon this is crap.

  • Your opinion is wrong...sorry :)

  • Just like tastes, opinions can't be wrong or right, they are what they are. I like Lost Horizon way better.

    Thumbs up for the poster of this video for not deleting less positive comments.

  • I understand...I was just messing with ya. LH is good, but I just feel that he taps into a different style with Heed. With Heed he can show off some more of his great vocals but with an edgier twist

  • yeah VoxBox2000 you idiot.

    lh FTW

  • its not crap at all, but lost horizon will always  be better

  • Good stuff right here man....Singer belongs in this genre of music. Stick with this...it taps into your full potential

  • Harsher vocals are cool, I guess. But please be careful, Daniel. Your voice is a Stradivarius, dig?

  • Daniel Heiman you were amazing in lost horizon, please go back we miss you there.

  • He's amazing here as well....Lost Horizon was cool....but this is much cooler

  • He was amazing in Lost Horizon. This music isn't so bad though, but he should definitely go back.

  • why did he leave? did he feel that he didn't have much of a say in Lost Horizon? I've been looking through Lost Horizon's lyrics and see that Lisicki wrote most of them and Heiman wrote one, maybe two songs.

  • i think it was the image and the messages of the songs. not that he doesnt agree with thewm he was probably just tired of singing about those subjects.

  • it was more about the fact that wotjek didnt really want him in the creation processes of LH. LH was way better than this contemporary crap.

  • yes he should go back to Lost Horizon. I have this CD and it's not as good as Horizon.

    I guess he have lost his horizon ;P

  • no no no no no no no i want my LOST HORIZON back! u can thumbdown me as much as u want but that was a band whos awesomeness couldnt not be measured - so original, beautiful vocal...concept of pure power so much better .

  • heed is ok but i love lost horizon so bad...

  • He did good! Heed much better then lost horizont! Just Keep it up!

  • I don't give a shit what direction he wants to go in, GO BACK TO LOST HORIZON YOU BOLLOX!

  • i really miss daniel heiman in lost horizon and the whole band lost horizon for that matter but if he wants to sing in a band like this you can't really get mad at him he's just doing his thang baby

  • Daniel Heiman is an excullent singer. I don't mind the backing music of Heed as it gives them more of independance. My main complaint is Daniel adding harsh vocals. That HAS to go!!! I don't mind the believe of as he said "making heavier music with still melodic vocals", that is fine but please do us all a favor Daniel and take out any harsh vocals and sing like the great singer you are!

  • I agre, the growling thing he has going on is shit, it does not fit him and In feel so sad that he left Lost Horizon :(, but I guess he needs to his own way and that needs to be respected, but still I feel sad :( maby I should sing in lost horizon instead xD

  • Daniel needs to go back to Lost Horizon, hard! They were one the most promising power metal bands. There is a definite void in power metal community since Lost Horizon is looking for a new signer. I can't believe he left one of the best power metal bands to pursue this mallcore garbage. Daniel, Lost Horizon needs you and power metal needs you! GO BACK TO LOST HORIZON

  • The song. That is a GREAT song.

  • This is actually one of their better songs. He actually SINGS here. When I went on their myspace and listened to a handful of songs... most were shit. Mostly screaming... not badass Lost Horizon wailing, but like... screamo screaming.

  • I can't say I'm with you on that... which ones were you listening to?

  • GO BACK TO LOST HORIZON!!!!

  • man this shit sounds like nocturnal rites

  • daniel, if u come back to lost horizon, i'll give u 1 gazillion dollars!
