The Beyond Twilight album with Jorn is a masterpiece. I just don't really know what the story is. Can anyone enlighten me?
The second BT record just didn't do it for me. Was a disappointment. A big reason for this was the vocalist. His voice was brutal, not in the awesome way.
Jorn has been in some amazing bands and done some amazing music, my faves being Ark, Masterplan, and the BT album. It sucks that he quits so many bands. As i'v said before, i think he's emulating Dio's career. Just think about it, it's quite obvious.
Apparently he's responsible for Aeronautics have more of a hard rock style. I still consider in power metal, but there is definately a rock approach to some of the songs. I loved it, and actually enjoy it much more then Time To Be King, which i feel has very little variety. The newest Masterplan albums is pretty good, i'm a HUGE Grapow fan, but anytime a band does an album after replacing Jorn Lande, it just never sounds as good.
And Burn The Sun is one of my favorite albums ever. Now THAT'S a masterpiece! I was so disappointed when i heard they split. I remember when Jorn quit, it sucked, but word was they had found a new vocalist and had finished writing a new album; the message they posted on their website made the album sounds fuckin beautiful. But then in never came out. Such a shame. I'll never get over it. I haven't enjoyed anything else the same way I loved Burn the Sun. But apparently Tore Ostby is working on something new with the drummer from i think Kamelot, or Pain of Salvation? one of those, and apparently it's musically continuing where ARK left of. Tore has an amazing guitar style.
