German 'super group' formed with Roland and Uli from Helloween, Jan from Iron Savior and Jørn from Ark.
Since then they have made two albums and Jørn Lande has unfortunatly left the band.

We havent heard a lot from Masterplan since Jørn left, but recently they have announced they are going to tour with Saxon!
The dates are here:

I will definatly see if I can get to one of them shows, I would be more hyped up about seeing Masterplan then Saxon.

It does make me wonder though, who their new singer will be, and if they will be able to fill the rather large boots of Jørn Lande. I really hope the new singer is a success and doesnt sound like some guy trying too hard to be Jørn.
It always gives me confidence thinking about things like Iron Maiden made two albums before Bruce was introduced to the band, maybe some guy will come along and be perfect for the job.

Both of their albums are brilliant, and always worth a listen. I dont know which I prefer.
'Masterplan' is probably more of a solid album in my opinion, but 'Aeronautics' has probably my favorite two Masterplan songs on it: 'Crimson Rider' and 'Black In The Burn'

I sure hope it will have been worth keeping them in my favorites slot all this time.
I look forward to hearing from everyone. Favorite album thoughts or thoughts on the replacement for Jørn - all Masterplan related comments are welcome.
