Andrew’s Judgmental Album Reviews: Jorn – Over The Horizon Radar (2022)
The album has been at the top of my personally AOTY list, so now it’s time to review it officially! Jorn – Over the Horizon Radar is in the JAR!

As I said in the IMPACT coverage, last week the weather change got the best of me; and writing wasn’t really on the precipice of my mind. That being said, it also changed what I was going to do this week. It WAS going to be a little unique, but after listening to one of the albums; it disappointed me to the point of not even wanting to tear it apart.
THAT – brings us to now. I’ve hinted at what album has been my number 1 for a good bit of this year, and this one still holds strong. Some people may know the singer as Karthus from the Pentakill album Pentakill III: Lost Chapter. He’s also been in the scene for nearly 30 in some shape or fashion. So we’ve got a veteran epic heavy rock vocalist and an album that needs reviewing!
Jorn is: Tore Moren (guitars), Sid Ringsby (bass), Beata Polak (drums), Alessandro Del Vecchio (keyboards), Jorn Lande (vocals)
- Artist: Jorn
- Album: Over the Horizon Radar (2022)

- Total Track Time: 54:26
Over the Horizon Radar, gotta love when albums start off with the titular song. Immediately this is a great mixture of European Power Style like Edguy and classic metal with vocals that give David Coverdale and Ronnie James Dio vibes. Lyrically its just a very cool song about some fantastical flying adventure and tonally the instrumentation is just great. It keeps a great rhythm, has lighter high points of soaring higher and then a nice clam breakdown which washes images of slowly coasting through a sunset, as the drum starts to slowly push the pace for a more epic finish. The songs soars and glides, and is just a pleasure to listen to. Dead London is personally my favorite song on the album. Starting ominously with church bells, the song seems to paint a picture utilizing some concepts of post-airstrike London during WW2, but lyrically it takes a fantasy turn and focuses on aliens. But the song has such a great deliberate tempo, the rhythm section is driving this along a lot like the concept of trying to slowly plow through the danger and/or rubble. It builds beautifully with a little reminiscent bass line of Dawn Patrol. Also they use the concept of the chorus keeping about 80% accuracy but evolving as the story changes. The final iteration is very cool and can be applied in more ways than after an alien attack; “Dead London, rising after the fall, Dead London, rebuilding houses and halls, In London Town, bringing back the sound of London, We had taken back the crown”.
My Rock and Roll opens immediately with a lamenting ballad approach. Its a little jarring with the immediate start and the different approach, but that keeps me intrigued. After the first verse, the music ramps up and we get a slower and slinky arrangement, almost in a Motley Crue style. An interesting angle this song takes, is its more self reflective lyrics. Discussing different difficulties he’s had, hiccups, obstacles, but he wants to live his ‘Rock and Roll dream’. So it definitely has that 80s classic metal idea of sounded generally good with marginally uplifting lyrics. One Man War okay, this song reminds us all that there is a European base for the band members. It comes off very much like a stereotypical Gothic Power Metal, think like…Beast in Black. Its not a bad song, and still slots into the sound they’ve established well enough, its just very notably a weaker song because it’s the definition of basic. Black Phoenix, we continue with unique ways to open each song. The drumline beat and dueling guitars, into a very Judas Priest crunch also reminds me of something like, Tarot. We get a very cool guitar driven song. As for the pre-chorus, that explains the concept of the song fairly well; “It burned me black as coal, But I’m not melting, ‘Cause my wings are made of soul, And always mending”, so this resilient way of making it through isn’t an unfamiliar topic, but the song is well done, the music has almost a movie chase scene feeling…its just a very cool song.
Special Edition is probably the perfect 80s montage song. Such a great drive on top of lyrics that discuss realizing self worth, ambition and being a special edition. If Cobra Kai doesn’t use this or James Gunn in something DC oriented…I’m gonna be disappointed. Ode to the Black Nightshade starts with a somber almost bardic pluck to the guitar. I will admit, this song is beautifully arranged. While I usually enjoy instrumental triplets, the fact the verses have triplets on the rhyme scheme is awesome. So many little aspects of this song are very cool and not things seen often. Hard to really quantify it simply, just note that I’m realizing I like that song more than I thought I did. Winds of Home well I’ll be honest, this is the shortest song…and there’s really nothing of note about. It just kinda happened, started a little slow and stayed in that power ballad range.
In the Dirt is a love song with some swing. It has a very cool radio rock drum drive, but enough catchy elements that its not until you read the lyrics you realize its a song about the singer finding his muse and being lost without them. “Can’t take flight without you, Couldn’t see the light that shines the night, Losing magic without you, You give me reason, you make it worth the fight”, lyrically cool and sweet without being sappy and stripped down. Great mixture. Believer now this opens like a Meat Loaf song, a little synth, a little bit of an open club vibe…and very guitar driven. And much like a Meat Loaf or 80s Rock & Roll song, this has a cool beat but some of the lyrics are a little silly. While it paints a few images probably of the music industry, it has cheese elements of lines like “I’m a Roller and I’m a Rocker”, so musically its great classic heavy metal; lyrically however…its like a B rated action movie.
Now some of you may wonder how this is my hands down number 1 so far when there were a few “weaker” songs. Weak, doesn’t necessarily imply bad, just inferior to the rest of the album. When I first heard this album in June, it was just background noise while I was doing other things; and it struck me like a lightning bolt to the tip of my penis. And it has remained firmly at the top of my replays and enjoyment in the last like 4 months. Can’t really say that about any other album yet.
So many songs were just beautifully done, catchy and sung in a way that only prime Dio, Coverdale or Geoff Tate could really pull off. If you’re into classic metal, this is an album you will love.
Final Judgment: 9.5/10

Prepare for the most electrifying even of the HPW calendar!
While the stage is set for Blood & Thunder 4 and the HPW World Trios Championships, HPW must also address the return of KAGE!
Thundra Plateau is ready.
Wrestling is Life, but life has its stormy weather. The rain is going to be hot in June, but will the reign continue through the Summer? The Dark Forces may have failed to take the Undisputed Triforce World Championship from Zelda, but they still have the World Trios Championships. Harlequin, Lupay & Glutko will step inside the double ring, double cage to defend their gold. On one side, Arrow Club’s special combination of Fin Balure, Torbevito & Bad Croc Scaly. On the other, a new combination of its own in Cia, Lana & Midna.
Speaking of Cia, Lana & Midna…
The three of them are together, dressed in workout attire, in what appears to be a dance studio. This is a collaboration stream for Midna and Lana as they’re both big presences on the internet, aka “influencers.” Lana and Midna wave and say hi, and they give introductions, including Cia, who is reluctant to be standing there. Cia doesn’t know why they need to do this. Lana says they have to improve their teamwork. They may have won against Los Taros Locos, but it was really sketchy there for a second. Midna adds that doing a dance routine together is great for their timing and coordination.
Cia says she didn’t mean that, she meant having to stream it! Oh, well obviously, combining Midna’s viewing audience with Lana’s, and HPW’s overall, this makes huge numbers! So? And huge money…! Cia raises her eyebrow and says, “Oh really?” The trio sets up, and Lana says obviously they first have to learn the steps. Midna brings up, “Wait, what song are we dancing to?” Oh, good point. Lana was thinking something from Lulu. Cia asks, “Lulu? From the Indigo-Go’s?” Midna says Lulu’s got a great solo album. Lana agrees! That’s so great that they like the same music. Cia isn’t as familiar with her solo stuff, so she’ll rely on them for this.
Lana suggests they go with Energetic Me. For one, it has the most energy, duh. And it still has a dance vibe, which is the whole point. Midna says she might’ve gone with Royal Discotheque or Ten Outta Ten, but she sees Lana’s point. Lana shows them the dance moves she has in mind. Left arm up, bent at the elbow, and the hand up against the side of the chest. Then they switch so the right arm goes up to mirror that position while the left hand goes back to the hip. Maybe add a little hip pop as that happens. Do that a couple times, and then turn to the right. This puts the left hand on the back of the hip, right hand on the back of the neck for a sexy pose.
Then you turn to flip it the other way, then do a 360 with a big neck whipping, hair flipping move. Then finish with feet apart and double V’s up by the eyes, maybe with a wink. Cia says, “Yeah, okay…” while Midna says, “I like it!” Midna says she’ll set up in the middle. Cia asks why Midna is in the middle, and Midna says it’s symmetry. She’s the tallest, Cia and Lana are about the same, it makes sense. Yeah, but it also means Midna is the center of attention. Well, that’s just coincidental. Lana says it doesn’t matter, the point is them doing it all in synch. Cia sighs and says, “Fine.” Midna is in the middle, Cia is on her right, and the music plays.
Left arm, right arm, left arm, right arm, pose to the right, pose to the left, 360 spin and neck whip, then double V. Midna nailed it, but Cia was lagging. Cia defends she was not, but Lana says it’s alright, they’ll just keep trying. They run through it a couple more times, they do tighten it up, and all three feel really good about how that went.
The Dark Forces are watching.
They aren’t impressed by the “little dance party.” Harlequin says the Faces of Evil are way better anyway. Especially with the classics like the Thriller dance and Macarena. Zant says, “The Macarena? Pfft, and people think I’m a dork…” Harlequin says, “Don’t you dare mock the Macarena!” Harlequin changes tabs on the computer and starts playing the song! After the introduction, he lifts his right arm up flat, then his left. Then he turns the right hand up, the left hand up, puts his right hand on his left shoulder, left hand on right shoulder, then moves right hand up behind his head, and then his left.
Now his arms crisscross, right hand on left hip and left hand on right hip, to then switch so right hand on right hip and left hand on left hip. And of course, he swivels his hips in one big circle to go with “HEY~ Macarena! AIGHT!” Zant rolls his eyes while Harlequin keeps going, jumping 90 degrees to his left. Ganon walks in, Ghirahim following behind, and he tells Harlequin to “turn that crap off.” Harlequin pouts but he does as told. Ganon seethes as he takes a seat in his big arm chair. “Needless to say… Wrestling is Life didn’t go how I’d hoped. What was Kage even doing there?! Did either of you have any idea he was going to betray us?!”
Zant and Ghirahim are a bit flustered. Zant isn’t even sure Kage was part of The Dark Forces at the time Ganon took ownership. He’d kinda gone rogue at some point, didn’t he? Ghirahim agrees, it didn’t seem like he was even aligned with Cia and the others. All the more reason for Kage to keep his nose out of Ganon’s business! If Kage cared about the Dark Forces, then he would’ve helped them fight back at HyruleMania, or any time since. Kage clearly just wants the title, same as Ganon, so he’s a dead man walking. Speaking of that… Where’s Kevin? He came back in April, why isn’t he here?
Somewhere dark and spooky…
Heavy footsteps can be heard echoing as Kevin Gibdo moves down the hallway. He speaks with a low, airy voice, “Majora… Your madness… spread like wildfire… You thought by setting me ablaze… I would crumble into ash… You were wrong! Instead, I have been purified…! Purged of flaws and weaknesses… I now come forth… as gold!” There’s a light at the end of the hall, and Kevin enters a grand hall, with treasure gleaming in the light. At the center is the sarcophagus. Kevin walks up to it, opens it, and then his burnt and tattered bandages fall away before he steps inside. The sarcophagus closes, then the eyes on it begin to glow… Then the entire thing glows!
The glowing becomes a shining light, and that shining becomes so bright that nothing can be seen. It is clear things between Kevin and Majora are not over. Will the Masked Monster even stand a chance once the Gibdo of All Gibdos is restored to full strength?
Back to the Dark Forces…
Shabonne says, “I’m sure Kevin is just fine doing whatever Gibdos do on their time off.” Tali says, “What matters is what I’m about to do to that tiny little weasel with the Goddess Championship. If The Dark Forces is gonna have all the gold, then I need to squash her like a bug and take that title off of whatever’s left!” Ganon nods and says he likes the initiative. Tali will start on her own Triple Crown as the Dark Forces will make Hyrule Pro-Wrestling their kingdom! The group cheers while raising a toast! And then Harlequin gets Glutko and Lupay to join in on the Macarena, to which Ganon groans and facepalms.
And so, the ThunderStruck card is set!
The double ring, double cage will rattle with Blood & Thunder as the HPW World Trios Championships are on the line! The Gerudo Ace looks to settle a grudge with the Hero’s Shadow! And now, the Million Rupee Championship and HPW Goddess Championships will also be on the line! Will the Dark Forces absolutely dominate the Summer? Be ready to endure the heat on Friday, June 20th!
