MASTERPLAN is the joining in a new band by a number of people who made their marks in rock. Originally it was formed by two ex-Helloween mates guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch. After extensive search they found a singer in Jorn Lande (ex-The Snakes, Millenium) who left all bands in order to give full force to this band..
"Masterplan" is an album with highly melodic prog metal, a bit more metal than prog. This combined with a series of strong compositions, only momentarily taking a detour towards somewhat to hardrocky stuff (Heroes), results in quite something. This has resulted in an album that approaches the quality of an Ark album, yet is more accessible. Highly recommended for Power Prog heads, and fans of Lande in general.
