Audio samples of all the songs that will appear on "Symphonic", the very special album from Norwegian hard rock singer Jorn Lande, can be streamed at MelodicRock.com. The CD will be released on January 25 in Europe and January 22 in North America via Frontiers Records.

"Symphonic" is not a proper new album, but rather a selection of tracks taken from Jorn's previous studio releases, which have been carefully selected by the Norwegian singer himself and painstakingly remixed in order to add a grandiose classical orchestra arrangement to the existing hard rock structure.

"I didn't want to choose the most obvious Jorn songs, as I didn't want this album to come out as a typical 'best-of' release," explains the former MASTERPLAN frontman. "Some songs that are not too typical in a Jorn context, were chosen simply because some great songs often tend to be forgotten and therefore deserve a second chance."

Tracks like "I Came to Rock", "Burn Your Flame" and "Behind The Clown" are presented in a very intriguing and different new dressing, which enhances the variety and depth of Jorn's classic songwriting and performance style. In Jorn's words: "'I Came To Rock' might now even remind the listener of a Broadway musical, not coming from a heavy rock band like Jorn. The new version of 'Behind The Clown' shows how much as a young boy I have been fascinated by Kate Bush. 'Burn Your Flame' instead came out really fresh and different, compared to the original version on 'Spirit Black' from 2009." "Symphonic" also includes a previously unreleased track: a cover version of DIO's "Rock And Roll Children".

"I hope you will enjoy the album and maybe you will even rediscover some songs you had forgotten…" concludes Jorn.
