The Great Divide (Allen/Lande album)

The Great Divide is the fourth collaboration album between singers Russell Allen (known as the vocalist of progressive metal band Symphony X) and Jørn Lande, (mostly known as the original vocalist of power metal band Masterplan).

This album marks a change in the musicianship team, being the first with Finnish guitarist Timo Tolkki (mostly known for his work with power metal band Stratovarius) producing, arranging and songwriting. This time, singer Jørn Lande has also contributed with vocal melodies and lyrics to the songs. Drums were recorded by Jami Huovinen and mixing was done by Dennis Ward.^[2]
