Russell Allen & Jorn Lande

Two of the best singers I have heard in a long time; Russell Allen and Jorn Lande. They have made music both as solo artists, in  separate bands (Lande's Masterplan / Allen's Symphony X) or together in a band (Allen/Lande) and in supergroups (like Avantasia). 
The kind of vocals found here makes me a proud hater of all the modern shows like Idol, X Factor, Talent etc. etc. This is some real music and singing, such power and feeling is not something you hear on commercial radio these days. Awesome.

Allen/Lande - Where Have The Angels Gone (The Battle, 2005)

Allen/Lande - Master of Sorrow (The Revenge, 2007)

Russell Allen's Atomic Soul - Loosin' You (Atomic Soul, 2005)

Jorn - I Walk Alone (Spirit Black, 2009)

Allen/Lande - The Showdown (The Showdown, 2010)

Masterplan - Sail On (Masterplan, 2003)

Symphony X - When All Is Lost (Iconoclast, 2011)
