Unlocking the Past is a cover album by Jørn Lande.

The album features covers of what Jorn states as his biggest musical influences, and as such, is composed mostly of classic hard rock and heavy metal acts such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Whitesnake and Kiss.

All covers were recorded especially for the record, except for "The Day the Earth Caught Fire" and "Burn" which were already released on Jorn's debut album Starfire.

The album features guest appearances from guitarists Ronni Le Tekrø and Ralph Santolla, Deep Purple keyboardist Don Airey, former TNT drummer John Macaluso and more.

The album was released on January 29, 2007, the same day Jorn's greatest hits compilation The Gathering was released.
