Skyward is a new band from the U.K. that plays symphonic power metal in the Italian style with lots of big keyboard flourishes, high-pitched vocals and cinematic melodies. Seeking the Heavens is their debut EP and it's a lot like Rhapsody, Freedom Call and the like as the band hasn't come up with a distinctive sound at this point. It is an independent release so it is no surprise the sound is thin and a bit sterile, but there is definitely some talent that can be heard. A solid but unspectacular first foray.
