| Friday, May 21, 2010 - Jorn To Release Dio Tribute Album | Powerhouse Norwegian vocalist Jorn Lande (Masterplan, Yngwie Malmsteen) will honour the musical legacy of Ronnie James Dio with his new album, entitled "Dio", to be released on July 2 in Europe and July 27 in the U.S. via Frontiers Records.
Handpicking some lesser known tunes of the Dio era, along with some of the true classics,, Jorn offers a fine collection of songs that present the music of the man and the artist, with a unique twist.
Commented Lande: "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 '70s, 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."
"Dio" will also include an original song for which a video, shot by Thomas Tjader (Pretty Maids, In Flames), was produced. Jorn says, "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."
The video for "Song For Ronnie James" can be viewed here.
