│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Canadian born bodybuilder Jon Mikl Thor has been ║ │
│║ acting and singing since the mid 70s, fronting ║ │
│║ his eponymously named band and, on stage, ║ │
│║ combining his strength with steel bars and ║ │
│║ blowing up hot-water-bottles to give a great ║ │
│║ show. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A winner of several bodybuilding competitions, ║ │
│║ Thor has released some wonderful and classic ║ │
│║ albums, my introduction to ThorÆs hard rock ║ │
│║ being Keep The Dogs Away (an expanded edition ║ │
│║ also released by Cleopatra), and the more metal ║ │
│║ Only The Strong from the mid 80s. This new album ║ │
│║ a real blistering set. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Released to coincide with his appearance at the ║ │
│║ Porispere, and with a forthcoming North American ║ │
│║ tour, we have 12 new songs that rock in the most ║ │
│║ blistering manner. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Thor has worked with a number of young musicians ║ │
│║ here, including members of Cloven Hoof, ║ │
│║ Thundermaker and Iron Kingdom, and some of the ║ │
│║ guitar work is amazing. As for ThorÆs vocals, he ║ │
│║ still has it, strong, perfectly metal forged. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Opener Tyrant features some great guitar, ║ │
│║ although the drums are solid, and the vocals ║ │
│║ stand out. The Calling features some fantastic ║ │
│║ guitar shred and nice vocal harmonies û it nods ║ │
│║ back to early 80s proto thrash. The title track ║ │
│║ nods in a more power metal direction. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A change of pace for When A Hero Dies, more ║ │
│║ balladic, still heavy, some deep vocals that ║ │
│║ suit. ThereÆs a great modern sound and ║ │
│║ production on On Golden Sea û a well written and ║ │
│║ cohesive track that really rocks û and lots of ║ │
│║ melody too. Twilight Of The Gods is classic ║ │
│║ power metal at the thrashier end. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Closing track Quest For Valor, running to over ║ │
│║ seven minutes, is a classic epic. Or an epic ║ │
│║ classic. Either way I really enjoyed it. ║ │
