Blackmore's Night

Blackmore's Night is an English Renaissance-inspired medieval folk rock band led by UK guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (electric and acoustic guitars) and Candice Night (lyricist and lead vocals). The origins of the band lie in 1990 when Candice was working at a local New York rock music radio station, and as part of her work first encountered Ritchie (now ex-Deep Purple/Rainbow guitarist), then with Deep Purple, at a soccer game he was playing in. The two became romantically entwined and discovered that they shared a passionate interest in the Renaissance.

Spiral Tower

The band was formed in 1997. Their name comes from the Psychotic Waltz song off their first album (1990 - A Social Grace). The founding members come from Tragedy Divine, a progressive/power metal band which split up due to musical differences (other former members play in Sacred Steel, a more traditional power/heavy metal band).
Spiral Tower plays Germanic power/speed metal with progressive influences (which are normal as they are influenced by Psychotic Waltz, though they are far less progressive).

Masterplan

Masterplan, a German Power Metal band, was founded by Uli Kusch and Roland Grapow after leaving Helloween. Jorn Lande (ex- Ark and Beyond Twilight) was the vocalist until May 2006, due to a dispute between him and Roland and Uli, as he wanted to make the third album more melodic, whereas Roland and Uli wanted to make it more heavy like the self-titled debut. On 5th October 2006, Uli Kusch announced his departure from the band, and was replaced by Mike Terrana. Mike DiMeo (ex- Riot) was Masterplan's vocalist for their album, MKII.
