Brazen Abbot – Guilty As Sin (Release Year -2003)

Brazen Abbot Guilty as SinDay 6 of the 10 Days of JORN brings us to the project of guitarist Nikolo Kotzev, Brazen Abbot.

Guilty as Sin features a triumvirate of singers including, Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow), Goran Edman (Street Talk, Yngwie Malmsteen) and Jorn Lande. Brazen Abbot also features current Europe bandmates Mic Michaeli on keyboards,John Leven on bass and Ian Haughland on drums.

Guilty as Sin blasts out of the gate with an awesome Rainbow like track sung by Joe Lynn Turner.

Eyes on the Horizon is the first Brazen Abbot track Jorn Lande has ever sung on, and it is a great one. This song has a sound similar to that of Deep Purple.

I’ll Be Free almost seems out of place after the first two power tracks. This is a slow ballad sung by Goran Edman. It is a descent song, but its placement here seems odd to me.

Slip Away is another great rocker sung by Joe Lynn Turner. Jorn Lande astonishes all with his powerful voice on Mr. Earthman. Goran Edman shows that he can rock hard too on the very cool Like Jonah.

Jorn Lande sounds just like David Coverdale on Bring the Colors Home. This low tempo track would not have sounded out of place on any of the last few Whitesnake albums. This song has hit written all over it!

Goran Edman takes over the microphone on Fool’s Confession. This is another cool track, that could have easily been a hit.

Its no surprise that Joe Lynn Turner sounds great on Supernatural. This is another track in the vein of Rainbow.

Eve is another slow paced number by Goran Edman. I didn’t care for this track too much. It is too light as compared to the rest of the tracks on this disc, and seems out of place.

After that last clunker Eve, Jorn sounds like he is shot out of a cannon on A Whole Lotta Woman. This is another excellent rocker in the vein of Whitesnake!

Guilty As Sin closes out this disc with another low to mid tempo rocker by Joe Lynn Turner. This is another superb track, and a great way to close out this disc.

Joe Lynn Turner and Jorn Landesound like they are in competition on this disc. They both sing their hearts out, and sound fantastic. The Goran Edman led tracks are not in the same ballpark as the JLT and JL tracks, and are the only weak point on Guity As Sin. Guitarist Nikolo Kotzev is obviously a very talented guitarist as his amazing fretwork can be heard all throughout this disc. The Europetrio of Michaeli, Leven and Haugland do an excellent job as well. This disc is essential for Turner and Lande fans. This may appeal to fans of Rainbow, Europe and Whitesnake as well.

You can check out three of the Jorn Lande tracks below! Enjoy!

    Ive been a Brazen Abbot fan for about a year less than a Jorn Fan. And it has taken me a while to get all the CDs. But when I first heard that Jorn was on one I knew that was one that Id pay anything for. LOL Well I didnt end up paying an arm and a leg for it. Ive been a JLT fan since his his Rainbow days and I loved Goran Edman with Malmsteen. So I knew this was gonna be a kick ass CD. But as with the other Brazen Abbot CDs I also felt that some of the tunes just didnt mix well with the others. Not that Goran vocals were bad, Jorn & Joe just freakin Rocked! And like you guys Im always wondering about duet’s with Jorn. And I agree JLT would be great!

    “Eyes on the Horizion” is the best tune on this album. I wonder if Jorn knows Joe Lynn Turner personally? If he does he should hit him up to do a album like allen/lande with him.
