Norwegian heavy metal band Jorn, fronted by vocalist J\u00f8rn Lande, issued covers album Heavy Rock Radio<\/em> on June 3rd, 2016 through Frontiers Music Srl.<\/p>\n

J\u00f8rn Lande commented: \u201cThe most important thing was to treat these songs with respect towards the original versions, my goal was always to think that the original artist would be honoured and find my version relevant. At the same time my intention was never to try to compete with the original song and artist, but make it a strong alternative version to enjoy. At the same time it is a well deserved homage to these artists and bands, who influenced me strongly, and I have wanted to record these songs for quite some time but was always too busy writing and recording my own songs to make it happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally I had a list of 40-50 songs I wanted to do, but I had to strip it down to about 15 songs before deciding on the final tracklist. This means that there are some unfinished business musically, and I will most likely record more of these songs in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The track listing is as follows;<\/p>\n
