JORN LANDE Interviewed In Rome (Video)

January 23, 2013

HeavyWorlds.com conducted an interview with Norwegian powerhouse vocalist Jorn Lande (MASTERPLAN, AVANTASIA) before his December 6, 2012 concert at Jailbreak Live Club in Rome. Italy. You can now watch the chat below.

Lande's new album, "Bring Heavy Rock To The Land", entered the official Swedish chart at position No. 34. The CD was released on June 1, 2012 in Europe and June 5, 2012 in North America via Frontiers Records.

"I think this album follows a similar Jorn tradition like those before, more heavy rock oriented than metal," said Jorn. "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."

A winning formula should not change, so Jorn again worked with Tommy Hansen at Denmark's Jailhouse Studios, who mixed the album, ensuring the right edge to the rich guitar and vocal sound that is now trademark to all JORN releases. The lineup sees the return of Jimmy Iversen on guitar who also appeared on "Spirit Black".

Jorn Lande's strong and diverse voice and solid songwriting skills have now become legendary in the hard rock world. In a career spanning over close to 40 album releases, as frontman for ARK and MASTERPLAN, in addition to featuring on spectacular projects such as NOSTRADAMUS "The Rock Opera", BEYOND TWILIGHT "The Devil's Hall of Fame", Tobias Sammet's AVANTASIA and AYREON.

"If you buy a Jorn album today, you know what you will get," states Jorn Lande. You are guaranteed to get your adrenaline going with the riveting sound that has solid roots in classic hard rock/heavy metal music, such as DIO, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW and WHITESNAKE.

The title track, "Bring Heavy Rock To The Land", was released as a single worldwide on May 14, 2012. Jorn said, "The title track has really a strong Jorn trademark. It was a natural choice for a title track, I felt the same about 'Lonely Are The Brave' back in 2008. Sometimes one song's got the magic and you just know it. 'Bring Heavy Rock To The Land' is such a song and regardless of how the whole album is evaluated by critics, I feel that this song will live on and become an essential Jorn classic!"
