Vocalist JORN LANDE To Play Last Four Shows With MASTERPLAN

July 3, 2006

Vocalist Jorn Lande will play his final four shows with MASTERPLAN in July and August. The dates are as follows:

Jul. 14 - Masters of Rock - Vizovice, CZR
Aug. 06 - Monsters of Rock – Varna, BUL
Aug. 08 – Lokersefeesten - BEL
Aug. 17 - RagnaRock Festival - Oslo, NOR

Lande announced his departure from MASTERPLAN in early May due to "musical differences." During the songwriting process for the band's third album, it became increasingly apparent that the members of the group had different visions and plans for the band's musical direction. While Jorn wanted MASTERPLAN to follow a more melodic path, the rest of the band wanted to return to the metallic roots of their debut album.

MASTERPLAN guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch (both ex-HELLOWEEN) recently completed the first songwriting session for the band's upcoming CD. Thirteen songs are in progress, according to a posting on Kusch's web site.

MASTERPLAN are currently searching for a replacement singer.

Jorn recently released fourth solo album, "The Duke". The CD — which entered the Norwegian national album at position No. 54 — was produced by Lande and PAGAN'S MIND guitarist Jörn Viggo Lofstad, and was mixed at Jailhouse Studios in Denmark by Tommy Hansen.

Jorn will lead a very special "all-star" performance during his headline set at this year's ProgPower USA festival, set to take place in September.
