Album "Swing of Death" will be released on January 23rd 2015 in Europe and January 27th in North America.

"Walking on Water" is a powerful track with nice and strong performances, heavier melodic guitars, atmospheric keys, clear drums, and lovely guitar work! I love so much the instrumental track "True Love Through Blood" with lower & massive guitars. Amazing guitar work in style of Michael Schenker. I love these amazing melodic sounds! Wonderful instrumentalist - perfectly clear rhythmic section and terrific guitar solos! Gentle opener with Jorn's vocal in "Queen of the Dead" building a nice climate of higher registers style with heavier riffs. Memorable chorus and perfect guitars sounds very catchy! Amazing guitar work is a pure thrill; excellent connection from slower to faster sounds. Title track "Swing of Death" has melodic refrain with choir singing and swing elements and even folkish echoes!

I also love "River of Tears" with lower and melodic riffs! Fantastic melodic choir chorus singing in duet by Jørn and Lena Fløitmoen Børresen. This track is so lovely and memorable in JORN climate. Another time we can listen perfect guitar solo inside this song. Next song where it is possible to listen to this fantastic duet singing is "Under the Gun" with massive guitars in DIO style, amazing keys and incredible atmosphere. Lena is singing together with Jørn also in the melodic "Into the Dark" with heavier guitars in ALICE COOPER style and fine keyboards and in "Save Me" where great stronger riffs connecting with a strong and melodic female voice; together with Jørn it sounds awesome! I love these catchy choruses! Calmer piano with stronger vocals of Jørn sounds totally amazing in "Masquerade Ball" and then this track is building into massive crescendo with big doses of melody.

JORN LANDE & TROND HOLTER PRESENT DRACULA is a perfect project of 2 amazing Rock stars -  singer Jørn Lande and guitarist Trond Holter.
