Warrior's Cry 3. Lost And Gone 4. Keeps me Burning 5. Take Me Over 6. I'm Gonna Win 7. Watching The World 8. Call The Gypsy 9. Trust In You Masterplan Enemy And as I have shared my first experience of becoming one of the million pilgrims in the prog and metal world, I am writing my first review on the first album that gave me one of my life's revelations: The Masterplan debut album.

Looking back to the first days when I listened to Masterplan, I never thought that power metal could grab me with with its catchy, accessible melodies but also with the complexity that allows the songs to keep growing on me.

So, the founding members, Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch, have really used their potential to their fullest since they were fired by the remaining band members of Helloween. I've personally never been a fan of the latter, so I guess it justifies the duo's commitment to what was originally their side-project.

And so That's right, Jorn frigging Lande! By now, he's been famous for his voice, which and here we go again possesses the versatility of David Coverdale and the power of Ronnie James Dio. Not only am I in love of his unique voice and his melodic songwriting, I also admire him for his imaginative, introspective and thought-provoking lyrics that he helps providing the band with. Masterplan, I do tell you my good friend, is not a band with just another high-pitched vocalist, this is practically a one-of-a-kind vocalist.

Sadly, it's a pity that he left the band 3 years later due to musical differences Jorn leans more to the melodic, hard-rock direction while the duo leans more to the heavier sound , much to their fans' disappointment.

Oh well Those were quite sweet times while they lasted, and I am certain they haven't seen the last of each other yet Janne only lasted temporarily as a session member due to his commitment to CoB, but he left some decent marks in Masterplan's sound with some pianic pieces Soulburn and atmospheric layers especially in Into The Light , Crawling From Hell and Bleeding Eyes. The member position he left was soon filled in by Axel Mackenrott, who is also a decent keyboard player despite that his musical career just began to gain momentum.

Jan S. Eckert is Nevertheless, the sound is well audible and I thought it helped kick up the heat of the songs, especially in Crystal Night and Crawling From Hell. In short, Masterplan is one of the few bands that you'll find some difficulty not to like, if you're at least something of a metal fan. Their debut album stands well out thanks to its accessible and hooky melodies and at the same time leaves you wanting for more And the following albums won't disappoint either, the band members have proved their consistency in their well-inspired songwriting.

And if you're just like me, you'll probably begin to learn the significance of how progressive elements, if only a few, helps the band to stick out from other bands of the same genre. Though not a prog-metal band, Masterplan is commonly known as a power metal band, with some prog-related inspirations Personal album highlights: Almost every song are worthy highlights, but honorable mentions go to Spirit Never Die , Soulburn , Into The Light and Bleeding Eyes.
