ARK was a progressive metal band founded by guitarist Tore Østby (Conception) and drummer John Macaluso (TNT , Riot, Yngwie Malmsteen), who later joined up with singer Jorn Lande (Vagabond, Masterplan) to record two albums. Lande, Østby, and Macaluso were joined by Randy Coven (Steve Vai, Steve Morse) on bass and Mats Olausson (Yngwie Malmsteen) on keyboards for their second effort Burn the Sun. The project brought together distinctive musical voices. Tore Østby fuse cinematic textures with metal, flamenco, and impressionist harmony. Jørn Lande deliver one of the most iconic voices in melodic and heavy rock. John Macaluso contribute dynamic, high-powered drumming drawn from a wide rock and prog legacy.
