JORN LIVE IN AMERICA

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of JORN’s “Live In America” 2cd set on September 21st 2007 !

Frontiers Records is very pleased to announce the release of two separate JORN records entitled "Unlocking The Past" and "The Gathering" on January 27th 2007.

The concept behind this dual release is to encounter the fans' request for more material and to make some of Jorn's earlier work more available.

"With "The Gathering"", Jorn says, "I'm removing dust from some of my earlier recordings because I believe some of these songs deserve a second chance in history". "Some tracks have been rerecorded from scratch, simply because I felt they would sound better with new arrangements and approach" continues the Norwegian singer, adding "Others have been remixed and have this way been given a "face lift" due to the fact that the original recordings didn't sound that great productionwise. All songs have been digitally mastered by my good friend Tommy Hansen and I hope that this album will please my old as well as my newer fans".

"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 release. 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 Millennium covers album a few years back), complete the tracklisting of the album.

"I'm very excited about releasing these songs from the treasure chest" Jorn says and surely this is nothing less than a nice present for the numerous fans of one of the greatest Rock singers today.

VERY GOOD REVIEWS FOR THE BATTLE
The album "The Battle" recieves excellent rewievs! Melodic Rock gives 98% of 100% and calls it the album of the year (2005). Quote: Jorn vs Jorn for album of the year? It might just be. Jorn Lande kicked our asses with the second Masterplan album, which was released officially in January. For me that's been one of the major highlights of the year to date and now, with the last quarter of 2005 closing in, Jorn is back to plant another large boot into my nether-regions.

JORNS VOICE PRAISED BY MELODIC ROCK
Masterplan gets 95% of 100% in Melodic Rock for their new album. It's nice to read how they praise Jorn's voice. Quote: it's Jorn Lande that makes this essential in my mind. His vocals are to hard rock what Steve Perry's are to AOR. Seemingly effortlessly powerful, yet melodic in every sense, adding a more accessible melodic touch to a record that is otherwise all metal.
With any other vocalist and this would be a very good record - add Lande's power, melodic edge and range and it instantly becomes great.
