I am overwhelmed by all the positive response regarding "Song for Ronnie James", and all the warm comments I have recieved from all around the world.
It means a lot to me that you have embraced this song as something coming from the heart, and I'm truly grateful.
In just a few days more than 100.000 people have viewed the video on the internet, and the number is still rising...
 
Many people are too busy trying to reinvent the wheel, forgetting the talent, quality and originality of the people that paved the way, like Ronnie James Dio.
My intentions for writing ”Song for Ronnie James” was to bow down and pay respect to one of the greatest, most influential and unique artists the world has ever known.
When Ronnie passed away so sudden, I wasn¨'t sure whether or not the release of the song should be postponed for a while, but we decided to proceed with the release of the song as planned.
"Song for Ronnie James" was written before Ronnie got sick last year, and it makes me sad to know that he never got to hear it.
Without Ronnie's presence, I would not have become the artist I am today.
 
It’s hard holding back the tears when reading all your wonderful comments, and once again I thank all of you for your support and recognition.

Dear all

Ronnie James Dio has passed away and my sorrow runs deeper than words can describe. When the world became a colder place, Ronnie was a symbol of fire and honesty.

His magic will forever stay with me, and inspire me to go on. My thoughts go to his wife Wendy, his family and friends, in their devastating loss.

I will honor Ronnies memory, and he will always live in my heart and music.

With love,

Jorn

The Norse God of Metal. The leader of the renaissance of classic hard rock on its highest level. One of the most prolific and sought-after singers of today, whose immense vocal talent has reserved him a status of a living legend to be counted amongst the greatest giants in the history of rock.

www.revelationz.net states: Jorn's voice is one of the finest you will find in the heavy metal genre. There is none like it, and once heard, it completely consumes your thoughts and worms into your emotions. Guitars are dazzling as is the norm for these albums, his six string musicians being masters of the axe, giving electric fury to match his hurricane force voice.

The new JORN album, 'Spirit Black' is like a crossover between 'The Duke' and 'Lonely Are The Brave', and contains songs that have already become essential hard rock classics. You want JORN and he gives it to you, nothing compromised or modernized or fiddled with.
