Media type: CD

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 of the history of rock.

His vocal capability is world-class, distinctive, rich and spanning a large range. Jorn has been busy throughout the years with close to 30 releases to his credit, having worked with some of the best musicians around. He has made himself visible in various bands and projects, not only through his unique vocal abilities, but also as a song-writer and lyricist. Be it solo or in a band / project, he has never failed to deliver powerful recordings highly rated by both fans and critics.

Since going solo, Jorn Lande has worked with some, if not the most, of the greatest artists of the hard rock genre - including Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple), Don Airey (Cozy Powell's "Hammer", Rainbow and Ozzy Osbourne's band) and Uli Jon Roth (The Scorpions). He has also shown himself as an irreplaceable frontman of German power-metal act MASTERPLAN (teaming up with ex-Helloween Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch) achieving world-wide renown around the world with albums "Masterplan" and "Aeronautics" in 2002 - 2006.

Already his first two solo releases "Starfire" and "Worldchanger" gained great respect; powerful albums such as "Out To Every Nation", "The Duke" or the latest "Lonely Are The Brave" are all big rock sounding records unleashed upon the world under the solo moniker of JORN... but just a few of Lande's releases during his almost 30-year-span of carreer.

Jorn owns a very special charm that shines through in his every performance and makes something unique out of every song written and sung by him - a mixture of big melodies, technical ability and execution, a high artistic level and overwhelming emotions in his soul-stirring vocals make every Jorn album special - easily explained is the reason for which he is considered one of the all-time best rock/metal vocalists in history.

Always surrounding himself with experienced musicians, the year 2009 finds Jorn in top form singing against a wall of powerful hard rock n'roll courtesy of Tore Moren, Jgor Gianola (U.D.O, Gotthard), Nic Angileri (Gotthard,) and Willy "Wild" Bendiksen (The Snakes). He continues to keep his audience happy by consistently crafting high quality original recordings and re-workings of classic material

With “Dukebox” AFM now releases an album filled with 16 JORN gems from all episodes of his solo career. All killers - no fillers!
