Masterplan - Novum Initium [CD]

2013 release from the German Power Metal band. The last years have not been easy for Masterplan. Because of several factors, the band has been unable to play festivals and tours even though there were plenty of offers. But that lies in the past and is now about to change. Joining founding member Roland Grapow (ex-Helloween) and keyboarder Axel Mackenrott are drummer Martin Marthus Skaroupka (Cradle of Filth), vocalist Rick Altzi (At Vance, Thunderstone) and bassist Jari Kainulainen (Stratovarius, Symfonia, Devil's Train). Besides their undoubted musical qualities, all three fit perfectly into the band. So there is a huge motivation to get things going now and have a fresh start!
