Norwegian heavy metal band Jorn, fronted by vocalist J\u00f8rn Lande, issued 13th full-length studio album Life On Death Road<\/em> on June 2nd, 2017 through Frontiers Music Srl.<\/p>\n

J\u00f8rn Lande commented: \u201cIt\u2019s easily one of the best albums I\u2019ve ever recorded. This was all about putting the right people together for the right result, and about taking the necessary time to work more thoroughly and in depth with the material we chose for the album. The older I get, the more I feel it is necessary to listen to my heart and look for that genuine and honest feeling that made me take interest in music in the first place. Back in the 70s and early 80s when I grew up, people and music were more free and so the presence of feeling and soul came more naturally and was expected from an artist or a band. This is the energy and craftmanship we\u2019ve been looking for, but still keeping a pulse on the modern times we live in.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife On Death Road<\/em> is an original album that is pretty much summing up the last 40-50 years of rock and metal and has become a hybrid modern heavy rock album without losing those tasty elements of a good aged wine. Regardless, we\u2019re all products of our time, and the feeling, soul and symbioses we\u2019ve achieved for this album is a rarity in today\u2019s music world, so in that sense this album is a true old school sailors\u2019 \u2018tall ship adventure\u2019. From start to finish it took us nearly three years to finalize and I\u2019m really proud to say that this album is the proof that classic albums can still be made.\u201d<\/p>\n

An official Electronic Press Kit (EPK) for the outing can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Life On Death Road<\/em> was produced by Alessandro Del Vecchio and J\u00f8rn Lande.<\/p>\n
