Originally meant as a tribute to Ronnie James Dio when initially recorded in 2009, the album became an epitaph upon its release in the wake of Dio's death in 2010.
Jorn Lande is a very interesting singer whom I first came across by accident when I found some Whitesnake songs that turned out not to be Whitesnake. To put it eloquently I'm gonna quote what Mickey Moody or Bernie Marsden (I can't remember exactly which) said to the other one: "you should check out this kid I found in Norway, sounds like a young David Coverdale". It's true, David Coverdale is the closest voice I can place Jorn Lande to, but his bag of tricks doesn't end here. I don't know how he does it, but he can also mimic very well Ian Gillan's style of singing as well as Ronnie James Dio and even Phill Lynott (check out his 2008 album of covers Unlocking The Past it is absolutely remarkable). I can understand a guitarist doing it, like Joe Bonamassa mimicking the styles of BB King, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck and even Jimmy Page, but, for the life of me, I don't know how a vocalist can do it.
The fact that Jorn was a big fan of Dio is evident, not only in this song, but also due to the fact that on his 2013 album there are at least two more songs dedicated to "the father of the sign". This particular song, filled with themes from the lyrical universe of Dio is, in a way, a lament to the life and art of a man that enriched the universe with his presence and left it poorer for his passing.
