Jørn Lande

Jørn Lande is a singer's singer, and I have a soft spot for that kind of artist. Rather than fronting one signature band, he has poured his huge, weathered voice into Masterplan, Ark, and countless guest turns, most famously as the recurring vocalist of the supergroup Avantasia. His Rockprisen win confirms the regard he commands at home in Norway. There is a dark, almost geological heaviness to his tone that suits the metal he sings, and something fitting about a voice this powerful emerging from Rjukan, a valley town known for its scarce winter sun. He is a craftsman who serves the song above his own fame.
