The last years have not been easy for Masterplan. Because of several factors the band has been unable to play festivals and tours, even though there were plenty of offers. But that lies in the past and is now about to change. Joining founding member Roland Grapow (ex-Helloween) and keyboarder Axel Mackenrott are drummer Martin Marthus Skaroupka (Cradle Of Filth), vocalist Rick Altzi (At Vance, Thunderstone) and bassist Jari Kainulainen (Stratovarius, Symfonia, Devil's Train). Besides their undoubted musical qualities, all three fit perfectly into the band. So there is a huge motivation to get things going now and have a fresh start!

With 'Time To Be King', Masterplan stylistically continue where their award-winning, highly acclaimed, classic self titled debut album left off in 2003. Now even more refined and expressive than before, Masterplan deliver another Melodic Power Metal gem and their best piece of work so far. No other band of the last decade manage to combine traditional-rooted Melodic/Power Metal with an up-to-date approach like Masterplan. The kings have returned to ascend the throne!
