Hi,
I was recently contacted by a new melodic power metal outfit from Slovakia named Nona. The group will soon be releasing its full length debut "Steps Of Truth". Nona nails the European power metal sounds perfectly while production is very clean. They remind me somewhat of HB but much heavier and without all the ballads.
Here is the link to the bands YouTube channel where you can listen to samples: https://www.youtube.com/user/nonaband
