Meet the Man
12 April 2008
Format:Audio CD
For those of you not familiar with Jorn Lande, he is one of the most powerful and impressive vocalist in the melodic rock and metal genres. His voice is extremely similar to David Coverdale's, though he draws obvious inspiration from Phil Lynott and Ronnie James Dio as well. Jorn's had quite the storied career, working with several bands and projects in addition to his solo career.
The Gathering is the ideal way to become more familiar with Jorn Lande's work. It features remixed and in some cases totally rerecorded versions of songs from his early solo albums as well as some side projects. I'm not usually a fan of artists reworking their previous material, but I think Jorn does it well here.
Here's what you get:
From Jorn's 3rd album Out to Every Nation are Something Real, Young Forever, and One Day We Will Put Out the Sun. The somewhat silly bonus track Big from the Japanese import of Out to Every Nation is also included, which makes this of particular interest to those of us who weren't willing to pay the import price for that one song.
From Jorn's 2nd album Worldchanger are Bridges Will Burn, Tungur Knivur, Sunset Station, House of Cards, Worldchanger, and Christine.
From Jorn's debut album Starfire are Gate of Tears and Abyss of Evil.
The song Hourglass comes from the Millenium album of the same name that featured Jorn on vocals.
My Own Way comes from Jorn's collaboration with Russell Allen (of Symphony X) called The Battle.
Where the Winds Blow is from Ark's debut album. I'd have preferred something from Burn the Sun, but that's a minor complaint.
I believe the song Gonna Find the Sun is exclusive to this compilation. It's certainly not on any of the Jorn albums I own.
The only notable absences are material from the Mundanus Imperium album Spectral Spheres Coronation and Jorn's early work in Vagabond. Other than that, The Gathering provides a great overview of Jorn's career that is perfect for new fans and dedicated followers alike.

Jorn redone!!!!!
20 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
This is by no means a greatest hits. There are 11 re-recordings of older material and 5 new/unreleased tracks. The new tracks are 2, 8, 11, 14 & 16. All are awesome, and if you are a Jorn fan you know they will be. The re-recordings are also worth checking out because they have a somewhat (in most cases) slower heavier sound. The most standout re-recordings are the one's from the first 2 Jorn releases "Starfire" & "Worldchanger". The song off "Worldchanger" titled Christine is in my opinion one of my least favorite Jorn tracks, but they managed to make it less poppy and has a heavier groove now. The one's that are the most standout of the re-recordings are the one's off Jorn's weakest album "Starfire" : Gate of Tears & Abyss Of Evil, which totally freakin' ROCK now. He already did the track Starfire over on "The Duke" and now these 2. Now he just needs to re-do the other 7 tracks from that album and make them all better.
All in all, this release is awesome, especially for the re-recordings of the tracks from Worldchanger & Starfire which kinda needed the help, and what awesome help it was. Any and all Jorn fans should own these and fans of excellent quality Melodic Metal/Hard Rock would not be dissapointed as well. And for the uninitiated, Jorns vocal's are some of the best, if not the best, for this type of music out there today. So smooth!

Jorn is the David Coverdale of the 2000's. Such a great album to notice their deep Whitesnake influence. One of my favorite Jorn records due to a great production. The sound has great quality to it, and you really get a good example of Jorn's power and range in his vocals. While there are many Jorn albums to choose from, chock this one up as a great, lengthy Metal record to jam out to.
