Masterplan is a Power Metal band formed by Uli Kusch and Roland Grapow in 2001 after the pair were fired from Helloween for trying to go in a Darker and Edgier direction. They recruited Jorn Lande of the then recently broken up ARK to sing for them and released their self-titled debut in 2003. At that point, while Children Of Bodom keyboardist Janne "Warman" Wirman contributed during a few recording sessions, Kusch, Grapow and Lande were the only full members. When it came time to tour, they recruited keyboardist Alex Mackenrott and then-former and current Iron Savior bassist Jan-Soren Eckert, both of whom remain as permanent members to this day. With their now full line-up, they released Aeronautics in 2005.However, the band had some problems in the backgroud, not long after the release of Aeronautics, the band had a falling out with Lande, who cited Creative Differences for his departure, and, not too long after that, the rest of the band had another falling out with Uli Kusch, who quit for undisclosed reasons. Still, the band soldiered on and recruited vocalist Mike DiMeo and drummer Mike Terrana to release MK II in 2007. They also announced that they were working on a fourth album around this time.Despite Fan Dumb complaints of DiMeo, things seemed steady for a while, but there were soon rumors that DiMeo was going to leave. These rumors were confirmed in January of 2009. They went on without a known vocalist until July of 2009, when it was announced that Jorn Lande had rejoined. Their fourth album, Time to be King, was released on May 21st, 2010.Current Members:
