SONG FOR RONNIE JAMES

Μία από τις καλύτερες φωνές που κυκλοφορούν εκεί έξω, ο Jorn Lande, θα βγάλει τον καινούριο του δίσκο στις 2 Ιουλίου (για Ευρώπη, Αμερική στις 27) από την Frontiers Records. Ο τίτλος είναι "DIO" και είναι (προφανώς) φόρος τιμής στον αποθανόντα τραγουδιστή:

“Throughout the years I have had the privilege of both meeting and working with many of the musicians that have inspired me on my musical journey. Ronnie James Dio has inspired me through decades, and this man's influence continues to add colour to my creative spirit. Ever since the first time I heard his royal roar back in the 70's, I have been fascinated by this extremely talented man's creative force and dedication to music. His career has been going on for so long and includes so many great songs, that it was a challenge to decide which songs and what era to focus on. I ended up focusing on the DIO era”.

Τα τραγούδια που θα περιλαμβάνονται είναι: Song For Ronnie James, Invisible, Shame on the Night, Push; Stand Up And Shout, Don't Talk to Strangers, Lord Of The Last Day, Night People, Sacred Heart, Sunset Superman, Lonely Is The Word / Letters From Earth (2010 version), Kill The King, Straight Through The Heart (live), Song for Ronnie James (video clip).

Το πρώτο (Song For Ronnie James) είναι καινούριο και φυσικά γραμμένο για τον Dio. Ο Jorn εξηγεί: “I wrote 'Song for Ronnie James' as a tribute and a personal thanks to the man who has been my mentor for more than 35 years. This great man has affected my life and career in such a way that without his presence, I would not have become the artist I am today”.

Η μίξη έγινε από τον Tommy Hansen στα Jailhouse Studios ενώ το βίντεο κλιπ επιμελήθηκε ο Thomas Tjader (Pretty Maids, In Flames).
