Zonata was a power metal band originating from Borås, Sweden. They formed in 1998 and recorded 3 albums with label Century Media before calling a split up in 2003. Their lyrics draw heavily on mythology and life struggles. The band never made it big due to receiving very little recognition. They are known by most for their heavy drums and cutting guitar riffs.
