The Battle is the first studio album by hard rock supergroup Allen-Lande, a collaboration between vocalists Russell Allen and Jørn Lande. Their debut album, Worlds Apart, was released on 6 March 2020. I also noticed that there were several other releases coming out with similar style but with different singers, and so the whole thing started becoming a bit too fabricated to me." Allen went forward with another collaboration, Allen/Olzon, this time with former Nightwish singer Anette Olzon. After The Great Divide which was done together with Timo Tolkki, I felt it was time to call it the day. After this I thought maybe maximum three since it was more of a side project. In 2019, Lande announced that there would be no more Allen/Lande albums, citing his own lack of enthusiasm: "Originally there was never going to be more than one Allen/Lande album from my side, but since it got popular me and Russell agreed to do another one.

In 2013, Timo Tolkki (ex-Stratovarius) and Jami Huovinen replaced Karlsson and Salazar, leading to the album The Great Divide (2014). Together with drummer Jaime Salazar, the quatuor released three albums: The Battle (2005), The Revenge (2007), and The Showdown (2010).

The project started with Swedish guitarist Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear, Starbreaker, Last Tribe) as producer, main instrumentalist and songwriter. It takes its name from its two singers, Symphony X vocalist Russell Allen and former Masterplan vocalist Jørn Lande. Although the band was originally from Italy, none of the band members are Italian. Allen/Lande or Allen-Lande was an international hard rock/heavy metal supergroup formed in 2005 by Italian record company Frontiers.
