Roland Grapow is one of my guitar heroes.
He played with Helloween from Pink Bubbles Go Ape to The Dark Ride after which he and Uli Kusch got fired. The rest of Helloween didn't like their musical direction.
So Uli and Roland got serious on Masterplan, which was a project already being worked on.
The original singer should have been R. Allen but he refused leaving SX (and Roland told him "Well fine, but we'll be making more money than you! *laughs*")and so they picked Jorn Lande (ARK, solo albums). Just as much of an amazing singer, BTW.
Their music is Prog/Power metal leaning more towards Power (where SX lean more towards prog).
Now go to kazaa.
"Into The Light", "Enlighten Me" and "Kind Hearted Light" are good ones to listen to.
Then you go to the store coz' you no longer have an excuse for not owning their album!!!
