Jorn Lande is one of my favourite vocalists. I first heard him in Masterplan, and have loved his voice since. I decided to look into all the other bands he's been in, including his solo band Jorn and his collaboration with Symphony X's Russell Allen, The Battle, which is one of my fave albums. Another band which caught my attention was Millenium, who are very unknown

Oh man... Jorn

I loved his work in Masterplan and Beyond Twilight and now I have one of his solo albums: Out to Every Nation. This man is seriously talented, although there seems to be a love/hate mentality among most metallers. After hearing Out to Every Nation, though, my faith in him in confirmed. Not only does he rock in the company of other great musicians but he rocks all by himself!

Jorn is awesome. His best work is with Masterplan and Beyond Twilight. The solo albums are pretty good...from the ones Ive heard.

he is one of my favorites as well. i love the guy
the Masterplan albums are fantastic and the Ark albums are brilliant as well - its a shame there only is two Ark albums
-theres more Masterplan to come, but not with Jørn

i have only heard one of his own solo bands albums 'Out To Every Nation' and i thought it was ok - but it needs more listens for me to appreciate it

Oh My... Jorn has left Masterplan... What a shame man! The guy is a wonderfull singer! What is to become of Masterplan without Jorn? I wonder... Hope Masterplan can find an awsome singer aswell to cover the sad leaving of Jorn Lande. \m/

I think that there is one more of Jorn solo project. The album's called "The Battle" and Jorn is singing there with Russell Allen from Symphony X. For me this album isn't metal, isn't good. It's a little mistake. Sorry but Jorn has disappointed me there, because his work on the Beyond Twilight's "The Devil's Hall Of Fame" was so great to me. I've hope he'll return one day to this dark progressive type of singing.

The battle is a very original work, awesome, but jorn lande is in my way of think, one of many voclaist...so his power is provided by the muscians around him, mr Roland Grapow one of them

i watched an advert on youtube with Jorn in it a couple of days ago. hahaha. its funny
here is the link if anyone want to see

Well... I really haven't listened to much stuff by this man but the few I listened to I didn't specially enjoyed, he's ok, he has good vocals but IMO his music isn't catchy or... just... dunno, I miss something =)

I have that on my computer from the old MetalStorm, hilarious!

Heehee, I remember that video!

Jorn Lande is a great vocalist. I love his Masterplan and Ark works best. However, I was a little let down by the Allen/Lande project. Shame he left Masterplan. I would have loved to have seen him play with them live.

I've never heard any of Ark's work. What album do you recommend I start with?

They've only got 2 albums but I think Burn The Sun is slightly better than the self-titled.

yes - 'Burn The Sun' is definatly more accessible - and i think it is better anyway
i baught both of them from the internet a while ago and i am glad i did!
they are both fantastic albums, but the second album 'Burn The Sun' is definatly better

I love Jorn Lande, his voice is phenomenal, but it's such a shame that he sticks with cheese outfits like Masterplan. If he was in a progressive band, I'd die happy. Still, his voice is enough to make me like just about anything, and him dancing around in pink is enough to make me want to go to Denmark just to shop at Coop Prix.

'cheese outfits'?? are you the sort of person that think all power metal bands are 'cheesy' and stupid then?

Ark is a prog band.

I hate to correct people, but 1. The guy in pink is not Jorn, he is the blonde dude you see checking out the pan in the beginning of the commercial, and 2. The advert is Norwegian, like Jorn

i recommend one very strange work that i didn't knew, is the metal opera: Nostradamus. He takes part on the story as an inquisitor.

The only bad thing I can say about him is that his band Masterplan must have been retarded to let him go.
I know they wanted to go back to their first album, but that was generic power metal album that links up to the Karate Kid as Darkside of the Moon hooks up to Wizard of Oz. They just kept the bad lyrics, but Aeronuatics is an amazing album considering what a mess of cheese and lameness the first one was. Now we'll never see Grapow and Uli in a good band since Helloween did Better Than Raw.

Jorn was the only thing that made this band listenable. Now they'll probably have someone like Michael Kiske. Which is probably the case since they wanted Kiske as their vocalist all along.

haha we'll just have to see who does actually replace him
Michael Kiske 'doesnt do metal' anymore does he... haha
we'll see

Dont blame me, but I have seen Masterplan one month ago and I do not think, that Jorn is such a good vocalist. The true is that Masterplan was playing after David Coverdale's Whitsnake so it was very hard to keep the crowd, but I still think that Jorn is overrated.
I know a lot of better vocalists than Lande. But thats just my opinion

maybe he is one of those that sounds better in the studio then live?

Jorn was still in Masterplan 1 month ago? I remember hearing that he left back in the springtime.

Maybe you saw a replacement and not Jorn. I doubt he'd still be performing with them after he left the band.

Jorn is an awesome vocalist,and I love the sound of his voice. He was very good with Beyond Twilight,ARK,Masterplan,unfortunately he likes to keep the suitcase packed and cant just seem to stay in a band. I really hope he will stay with a band.

Actually it was Jorn. Masterplan played on this fest www.mastersofrock.cz on 14.7.2006. I saw him sitting 2 meters in front of me during autograph session and I am sure it was him not his replacement

@pajo - you're so lucky...

I just get the disc "The Duke" and is amazing!!! very hard rock!!!!

I'm really sorry Jorn left Masterplan, one of my fav bands... Masterplan is not Masterplan without him and Uli...
His voice is wonderful, power metal but still so manly

I recently checked out his whole discography, I must admit, the vocals are quite unique and memorable. He's given me something to definitely look forward to in the future, along with the other projects of his mentioned here.
