JORN – Out to Every Nation (Release Year – 2004)
Day 7 of the 10 Days of Jorn, brings us to the third solo disc by Jorn Lande, Out to Every Nation.
This disc features a new lineup of musicians includingJorn Viggo Lofstad (Pagan’s Mind) on Guitar, Magnus Rosen (Hammerfall) on Bass and Stian Kristoffersen (Pagan’s Mind) on Drums.
Out to Every Nation is not my favorite disc in my Jorn Lande collection. After the stellar release Worldchanger, this disc did not live up to my expectations. I kept looking for a track that jumped out at me like Christine or Sunset Station, and it just never materialized.
With that being said, this is still an above average disc, and an above average disc from Jorn is usually ten times better than anything else out there.
There are a few noteworthy moments on Out to Every Nation worth mentioning.
Young Forever is a scorching hot track to start this disc off with. The title track Out to Every Nation is another cool song in the vein of Whitensnake. Something Real features some excellent guitar work by Jorn Viggo.
Living With Wolves reminds me of a cross between DIO and Dream Theater which is very cool. The Jorn Viggo guitar solo on Vision Eyes is superb.
The Whitesnakish Rock Spirit and the awesome guitars on Through Day and Night are growing on me each time I hear them.
The Japanese bonus track Big is awesome! This track sounds like it was a left over from Worldchanger.
This is the type of disc that needs to grown on you with a few listens. It gets progressively better with each spin. Jorn Lande sounds great, as does the band backing him up. This is a disc that may get over looked over time, but there is enough decent material on Out to Every Nation making this a disc worth picking up. I recommend the Japanese version that comes with the bonus track and the video below!

is so incredible you say that is jorn fan,and not to have the song out to every nation as a song of your life,well this is one of the songs more emotion in the life of every jorn fans,thanks!
I remember the first time I listened to Out Of Every Nation. I was expecting another Hourglass or something even stronger. But sadly I just didnt feel it in this one. For me it was like a roller coaster ride. Starting out at a high point with tracks 1-3 then suddenly on tracks 4&5 a little bump with a sharp turn and down again. Peaking up to a high point on #6 and back down the hill on 7&8 then that last little bump with a dip on #9 that ask’s “is there more?” and finally easing down for a slow stop. Just too bumpy for me. Ive tried to ride it many times since but it just isnt as fun as Hourglass and probably never will be.
Gotta disagree with ya on this one. IMO this album IS the best JORN has ever done “to date”. My favorite Jorn song of all-time “Something Real” is on this one.Not a weak track on this in my opinion, almost a perfect album from start to finnish. Some of the tunes do take longer to appreciate but that doesn’t neccesarily make them lesser songs. This has everything on it, heavy fast paced songs to mid tempo melodic rockers to ballads done the way only jorn can do them, to even moments of Pink Floyd on the final track “When Angels Wings Were White”. This album shows just how diverse Jorn Lande is and how much space he owns in his musical landscape!! Gotta give this a 10 out of 10.
