METALMORPHOSIS (BLACK VINYL)

Masterplan stand among the most enduring and influential names in German power metal.
Founded in 2001 by guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch following their exit
from Helloween, the band quickly established a distinctive identity built on strong melodies,
technical precision, and an epic yet modern metal approach. Their self-titled debut album,
released in 2003, was met with widespread critical acclaim and immediate chart success,
setting the standard for a career defined by consistency and evolution.
Over the years, Masterplan have released several highly regarded albums ' including
Aeronautics, MK II, Time to Be King and Novum Initium ' each showcasing refined
songwriting and a powerful balance between classic power metal energy and progressive
elements. Their work earned them international recognition, extensive touring across Europe
and beyond, and industry accolades that confirmed their status as a leading force in the
genre.
After a prolonged hiatus from studio releases, Masterplan have re-emerged with renewed
creative drive. The band recently signed a new worldwide deal with Frontiers Music SRL,
marking a significant milestone and the beginning of a new chapter in their career. This
partnership sets the stage for their long-awaited return with a brand-new studio album,
Metalmorphosis, scheduled for release in May.
True to its title, Metalmorphosis represents both transformation and continuity: a heavier,
more aggressive edge combined with the melodic sophistication that has always defined
Masterplan''''s sound. With renewed focus, sharpened songwriting, and decades of
experience behind them, Masterplan are poised to reaffirm their relevance and deliver one
of the most anticipated power metal releases of the year.
