Norges egna powerhouse sångare Jorn Lande (Masterplan, Avantasia) släpper nytt album, Bring Heavy Rock To The Land den 1 juni via Frontiers Records.
Jorn kommenterar albumet:
”I think this album follows a similar Jorn tradition like those before, more heavy rock oriented than metal. But, as usual, it’s not one musical expression all the way through the album, but a variety of musical landscapes within the categories of rock and metal.”
Ett vinnande koncept bör inte ändras så därför jobbar Jorn än en gång med Tommy Hansen på Jailhouse Studios i Danmark, som har mixat albumet och därav gett den en fyllig sång samt gitarrljudet som kännetecknar Jorn. Som vanligt bjuder Jorn på covers, den här gången i form av Masterplan’s Time To Be King och Christopher Cross Ride Like The Wind.
Jorn säger, ”When we wrote Time To Be King, I heard a different and more rock-oriented arrangement in my mind, so after the Masterplan album was released, I couldn’t stop thinking about how it would sound if it was recorded with this other arrangement. I don’t know which one’s better, I have ended up liking both versions. As for Christopher Cross, I have always loved ’West Coast’-oriented music and bands like 10CC, Pages, Santana, Little River Band, Eagles and so on. So I thought Ride Like The Wind would be a good song to do Jorn style. Saxon also released a version of this song in the ’80s, and the arrangement we made ended up beeing a mix between the original version and Saxons’s. It’s also a fun song to sing and play.”
