Released to critical acclaim throughout Europe earlier this year, Aeronautics is a true gem. A timeless record that will appeal to fans of traditional heavy metal (Dio, Whitesnake), progressive rock/metal (Dream Theater, Symphony X) as well the more adventurous fans of Opeth, Iced Earth and others, it rocks with the best of them, mastering emotion with a keen musicianship that is second to none.

Germany's Metal Heart calls Aeronautics, "a masterpiece of maximum perfection and harmony." Rock Hard says, "absolutely essential!" Formed in 2002, Masterplan immediately hit Europe by storm. Their self-titled debut received the prestigious European Border Breakers Award. It received "Album of the Month" honors in Rock Hard, Heavy Oder Was, Sweden Rock, Aardschock and countless others.

The album hit chart positions in Sweden, Spain, Germany, Japan while impressing fans at numerous festivals and their extensive tour with Hammerfall. Masterplan is Jorn Lande (Ark), Roland Grapow (Helloween), Uli Kusch (Helloween), Jan S. Eckert (Iron Savior) with Axel Mackenrott.
