So Sinister Angels Realm followers, Baz has asked me to do an album review, Go easy on me guys as this is the first time ive done anything like this. What album are we looking at you may wonder. Well its the new cd from in my opinion a very underated singer Jorn Lande. The album Heavy Rock Radio is twelve tracks long and they are all covers, I know a lot of people dont like cover albums but you need to give this a listen. Jorn has picked songs that he likes and he does a stunning job with them all. His backing group do a stellar job of heavying up Jorns chosen tracks.
 All are sung with feeling and passion, the highlights being Running up that Hill and Killer Queen, Jorn brings his own twist to each track and the cover of Final Frontier by Iron Maiden is in my mind better than the original. Is this cd worth spending your hard earned cash on, I can only say yes.
