Next week Jorn will be in Roland's Studio to record the last 2 songs, some guitar lead work and the new Masterplan Album is finished ! Then it will be time to do the mixing, mastering etc.. The Official available date is still not decided, but stay connected it will come soon !

After months of rumours and speculations it is now official:

JORN LANDE will once again join forces with his old bandmates, and work on what is expected to be yet another MASTERPLAN Masterpiece.

The new album is already in the works and JORN is right now in Roland Grapow Studios in Slovakia recording his vocals.

The release date is not yet decided, but the album is scheduled to hit the market sometime in early 2010.

About the singer situation?

Sorry for the silence on this page, but we really don't try to create any hype out of it. We would love to tell you the new line-up already some month ago, but we promised not to say anything so far.
It has reasons, which doesn't have anything to do with Masterplan or the current line up.  It is more a contract or a business kind of thing !  So don’t blame me or the Band for it!

The new line-up had already a meeting 9 weeks ago and finally again last week for checking and working on the new song material. We had also many nice talks and ideas for the future.

Recording start is finally this weekend in my studio in SK! Album mix is planned for the beginning of August. We're expecting the album release in late Autumn, or let’s say...when it’s finished   :O)

Concerning the Forum, we know it has problems we had some issues concerning the servers. A new one will be available.

Hope this helps for the moment and we’ll promise to get the main news out A.S.A.P.

Hello dear fans,

In the coming days some official news regarding the new singer will be posted here. The Band is very sorry for the long waiting but things could not be done differently... thanks for your patience!

Concerning the message from Aardshock magazine, it doesn't come from the Band and we have to mention that it is not true that Jorn left the band because of Uli.

Hi Masterclaner,
Here are some news about the Masterplan situation... after a year of producing other bands in my studio in Slovakia, i am finally back to the Masterplan track,  we started some days ago the recordings for the new album. 
The release date is supposed to be May/June 09 now, also some Festivals are planned for next year, but nothing is confirmed right now.

Axel and Jan are working on more new song material  in Hamburg in Axel's new Studio. Meanwhile i'm writing/recording Guitars and arranging Songs in my Studio in SK.  We have 10 songs written so far and we'll still write more material parallel to the recordings.

We are very happy with the new song material so far and we are sure it will be a killer album!!!

More updates are coming soon. hopefully with a big surprise 
Cheers, Roland
