Masterplan is a [[Power Metal]] band formed by Uli Kusch and Roland Grapow in 2001 after the pair were fired from [[Helloween (Music)|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 (Music)|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 [[Replacement Scrappy|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.
Line 23:
* ''Time to be King'' (2010)
 
Not to be confused with an [[Evil Plan]] or [[Oasis (Musicband)|Oasis]]' namesake album.
 
== The band shows examples of: ==
Line 33:
* [[Determinator]]: "Spirit Never Die".
* [[Epic Rocking]]: "Black In The Burn", which lasts almost 10 minutes.
* [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]]: "Far From The End Of The World" tells the story of a group of refugees who narrowly escape a [[Earthshattering Kaboom|vague apocalypse]] in search of a new place for humanity.
* [[Heavy Mithril]]: Through their albums, there's the occasional fantasy theme, an album (''Aeronautics'') that is arguably about a pilot in [[World War I]] and a significant amount of songs from ''Time to be King'' with science-fiction themes.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Michael Kiske appears in "Heroes".
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: "[[Iron Savior (Music)|After The War]]" and "After This War" share some similarities, besides the name. This is likely thanks to the fact that bassist Jan-Soren Eckert used to play for ''[[Iron Savior (Music)|Iron Savior]]''.
* [[Large Ham]]: Lande. The man is so hammy, he has a side project called "Allen/Lande", which consists '''solely''' of [[Ham to Ham Combat]] with- who else- [[Symphony X]]'s "Sir" Russell Allen.
* [[Start My Own]]: Masterplan is the result of Grapow and Kusch being fired from Helloween.
