Metalmorphosis - Yellow 2-LP

Limited yellow 2-LP in gatefold cover.

Masterplan is one of the most enduring and influential names in German power metal. Formed in 2001 by guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch after leaving Helloween, the band quickly developed a unique style characterised by strong melodies, technical precision and a modern yet epic approach to metal. Their eponymous 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 of which showcases their refined songwriting skills and their ability to strike a powerful balance between classic power metal energy and progressive elements. This work has earned them international recognition, extensive touring across Europe and beyond, and industry accolades that confirm their status as a leading force in the genre.

Following a long break from releasing studio albums, Masterplan have returned with a renewed creative drive. The band has recently signed a new worldwide deal with Frontiers Music Srl, marking a significant milestone and the start of a new chapter in their career. This partnership paves the way for their long-awaited comeback album, Metalmorphosis, which is set to be released in May.

True to its title, Metalmorphosis represents both transformation and continuity, combining a heavier, more aggressive edge with the melodic sophistication that has always defined Masterplan’s sound. With a fresh focus, honed songwriting skills and decades of experience behind them, Masterplan are ready to prove their continued relevance and deliver one of the most hotly anticipated power metal releases of the year.
