Anno 2013, MASTERPLAN are back with an energy like in their early days! - Joining founding member Roland Grapow (Ex-Helloween) and keyboard player Axel Mackenrott are drummer Martin "Marthus" Skaroupka (Cradle Of Filth), vocalist Rick Altzi (At Vance, Thunderstone) and bassist Jari Kainulainen (Ex-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!
