Frontiers Music Srl released of the fourth album from Allen / Lande, the vocal alliance between Norway's Jorn Lande and powerhouse Symphony X / Adrenaline Mob vocalist Russell Allen, entitled The Great Divide, on October 17th in Europe. The album will be available tomorrow, October 21st, in North America. Watch a new lyric video for "Down From The Mountain" below.

Following three successful albums written, played and produced by Magnus Karlsson (of Primal Fear/Starbreaker), the new album The Great Divide offers a substantial change in that former Stratovarius guitarist and main composer, Timo Tolkki took on the challenge to write and produce the new recording. Tolkki also performs all instrumentation on the album except for drums, which are handled by Jami Huovinen.

Work on the album started in late 2013 when the first songs were demoed and sent to the two singers, who loved the direction of the new music. Also, for the first time, Jorn Lande has contributed vocal melodies and lyrics to the album. The final result is certainly outstanding and the crisp mixes from Dennis Ward (PC 69, Place Vendome, Unisonic) have delivered an amazing sounding album. Stunning cover art created by French artist Stan Decker completes the package. A 3-song trailer is also available below.
