After just hearing the latest ARK news

[Soul of Ice]

Kinda taken from the Conception thread...

On the Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles website it says that Jorn is now back working with ARK. How much of that I believe, not much, but lets just suppose.

Would I be the only one who does not like this news? I mean, Jorn basically screwed them to begin with and now he is back. I was looking forward to a breath of fresh air in the band, but it does not seem like that is going to happen. Yes Jorn is a good singer, but he is too all over the place, it makes his voice less special. Lets not forget how horrible Masterplan was...ugh... Plus he has a way of making music sound sooo 80ish by they "yeah" and "baby" etc.

Personally I was hoping that Goran Edman (sp*) (who sang on the Karmakanic cd) would join, maybe even Andy Engberg.

Discuss, flame me, whatever. I just cant believe he would be taken back.

I consider this a very good news! Jorn finally realized the immense sh*t he made, joining that horrible Masterplan thing.

Let's now expect for a new ARK album, then!

 

[R*O*C*K*S*]

I recently bought Burn The Sun
what an amazing album !

this is good news to me !

 

[Velocity]

I have the Burn the Sun album that is absolutely amazing piece of work! And i sure looking forward to hear som new Ark in the future!

 

[korruption]

Glad I'm not the only one who disliked Masterplan.

 

[SilentRealm]

ive still hardly heard anything from ark.. that one song i mentioned before i LOVED, but then i heard a couple of others i thought were ranged from ehh to argh!.. so i dont know.. i like jorns voice when he is just singing normally..when he goes into what i call the 'yodel' though, god i hate that..

 

[Wyldeyng]

Burn the Sun is one of my all-time favs. A very special album for me.

 

[Demonspell]

I agree that he does have a weakness for cock-rock vocalizing, but I still consider Jorn to be a highly dynamic vocalist and I can't imagine anyone else taking his spot in Ark...

 

[Zax666]

FORK* YOU GUYS, MASTERPLAN RULES!!!

The best dark powermetal band ever, period.

As for the 'yeah' thing, I agree.

*You know what I mean.

 

[Grom Hellscream]

Don't understand, why you don't like Masterplan...They are good, I think

Though ARK is VERY VERY VERY much better )))))

Jorn rules.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Maybe Jorn screwed ARK... I don't know... I'm not privy to the inner workings of the band. But I'm glad Jorn is back. He is a GREAT vocalist (even if it is annoying that he seems to be everywhere... including a lot of substandard material), and I couldn't imagine anyone else singing for ARK. He is an integral ingrediant to the band that makes the music special.



I also like Masterplan, though not nearly as much as Ark.

 

[MetalAges]

Jorn hasn't rejoined ARK to my knowledge (unfortunately). The news originated on BWBK but it was news from a year ago (old/outdated).

 

[Demonspell]

Damn, and nobody checked the date...but were Conception planning to reform at this time last year? We need an answer from either Tore or Jorn...

 

[ScottG]

Maybe it's time someone told Jorn to quit playing games and start making the third Ark album then.

I wouldn't think from reading his lyrics the man would be more interested in only performing where the so-called money is. (How long will masterplan last anyway?)

And oh yeah, I'd trade Kamelot for Conception any day of the week too..

 

[ProgMetalFan]

I like Kamelot as well... but I too would trade them for Conception

 

[Zax666]

(How long will masterplan last anyway?)

Why should it NOT last, dude? It's not a superband or something, Roland and Uli are going along ever since 1994, the only thing I'd change in the band is the lame-ass keyboard player!

 

[mrpigonkow]

Although in my onpinion, Ark's a better band, I really liked Masterplan.

 

[Demonspell]

According to Ken Golden of The Laser's Edge, Jorn is definitely not back in Ark, instead they are currently auditioning vocalists.

 

[Soul of Ice]

yeah, saw that earlier.

They are looking at a singer from NY and hopefully get Tore to move down there.
