JORN's new studio album, Bring Heavy Rock To The Land, which was released in early June has entered the Swedish national charts at #34.

"I think this album follows a similar Jorn-tradition like those before, more heavy rock oriented than metal" says Jorn about the album. "But as usual it's not one musical expression all the way through the album, but a variety of musical landscapes within the categories of rock and metal."

As usual, in addition to the original material, Jorn offers some interesting covers. This time MASTERPLAN’s Time to Be King and CHRISTOPHER CROSS’ 'Ride Like The Wind' are the ones to get the Jorn treatment. "When we wrote 'Time To Be King' I heard a different and more rock oriented arrangement in my mind" tells Jorn, "so after the Masterplan album was released I couldn't stop thinking about how it would sound if it was recorded with this other arrangement. I don't know which one's better, I have ended up liking both versions. As to Christopher Cross, I have always loved West Coast oriented music and bands like 10CC, PAGES, SANTANA, LITTLE RIVER BAND, EAGLES and so on. So I thought 'Ride Like The Wind' would be a good song to do Jorn style. SAXON also released a version of this song in the '80's, and the arrangement we made ended up being a mix between the original version and Saxon's. It's also a fun song to sing and play."

"If you buy a Jorn album today, you know what you will get" states Jorn Lande. You are guaranteed to get your adrenaline going with the riveting sound that has solid roots in classic hard rock/heavy metal music, such as DIO, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW and WHITESNAKE.
