Spirit Black is the sixth studio album by Jørn Lande's solo project Jorn.

Lande describes the album as "a crossover between The Duke and Lonely Are the Brave". He says that "The musical style and direction is now more defined and less experimental". He also says that the fans "can expect a solid and defined record".

Dimitris Kontogeorgakos of Metal Temple Magazine rated the album a 7 out of 10, writing: "Jorn has raised my expectations so high that it is kind of difficult to meet them with this one."
