Jorn Lande & Trond Holter - Dracula, Swing of Death (Frontiers Records)
Jorn Lande is a very well known person in the power metal community, to say the least. He gained prominence as the lead singer of Masterplan and then went on to sing in multiple other bands and guesting in at least twice as many. Thus, when the new album he created with the guitar player for Wig Wam, I did not expect anything of note. Sure, it would be a quality work, but I was expecting nothing really special. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! These guys show some terrific chemistry between them. The album flows effortlessly and all the songs have wonderfull hard rock/power metal melodies that keep getting better every time you hear them. This seems to truly be one of the best and most inspired records of Lande's career. Recommended as probably the best power metal release of the year.
95/100
Below is one of the best tracks from the record "Walking on Water"
