JORN's 'Unlocking The Past' To Receive U.S. Release In March

February 8, 2008

Locomotive Records has set a March 4 U.S. release date for "Unlocking the Past" from JORN, the solo project of former MASTERPLAN vocalist Jorn Lande.

"Unlocking the Past" includes some previously unreleased cover songs that were originally considered to be "leftovers" or additional bonus tracks for previous JORN albums. Many of them were never included on any official release. Some brand new covers were also recorded specifically for this CD. Dust has been brushed from these recordings; the remix of "Burn", "The Day the Earth Caught Fire" (which originally appeared on JORN's solo debut album "Starfire"),and the remastered version of "On and On" (which was supposed to appear on a MILLENIUM covers album a few years back),complete the track listing of the album.

Lande recently spent time at Tommy Hansen's Jailhouse Studio in Denmark mixing his new solo album for a March 2008 release (to be made available under the JORN banner). "We are planning to come see many of you guys and gals around Europe next year — and hopefully other parts of the world as well," states Lande.

As previously reported, Jorn Lande appears as one of the guests on "The Scarecrow", the third installment of EDGUY frontman Tobias Sammet's AVANTASIA solo project. The album was produced by Sascha Paeth, who also played the rhythm guitar on the CD. The drums were laid down by KISS/ALICE COOPER drummer Eric Singer and the bass was handled by Tobias himself.
