Alas the quality of his releases seems to be on the vane, at least with the previous outings that has since 2009 only been one studio album, the others being two live albums, one greatest hits and one DIO tribute. Until now! <\/p>\n<p>Opener \u201cMy Road\u201d is a short half-song, not an intro not a full song \u2013 not   all that entertaining as it never develops. The title track is same old from JORN and the \u201cok-tag\u201d is very frequent during my listening sessions. The finest moments are the CHRISTOPHER CROSS cover \u201cRide Like the Wind\u201d (already used by SAXON way back) and the IRON MAIDEN-esque \u201cRide to the Guns\u201d. A pity that 50% of the merely two really good tracks is a cover\u2026 It seems Jorn Lande needs an outside to write for him, but on the other hand he has enjoyed mighty fine sales figures\u2026 The overall feeling is, again, that of BLACK SABBATH with DIO on 50% glow. Or the odd effort \u201cBlack Morning\u201d, where the band opts for a hair metal power ballad, which feels off the post in this context. Otherwise I dare say that the fans as well as the more seldom listener have all heard this one before.<\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nMy Road<br \/>\nBring Heavy Rock to the Land<br \/>\nA Thousand Cuts<br \/>\nRide Like the Wind<br \/>\nChains Around You<br \/>\nThe World I See<br \/>\nTime to Be King<br \/>\nRide to the Guns<br \/>\nBlack Morning<br \/>\nI Came to Rock<\/p>\n<p>www.frontiers.it www.myspace.com\/realjorn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frontiers\/Bam 14 albums into his solo career, 19 with other bands\/projects and a lot of guest spots under his belts Jorn Lande is a heavy metal phenomenon of his time.
