THOR on Friday
| Message Board > General Chitchat > THOR on Friday |
| SoundGarden User Info... | SoundGarden - THOR IS COMING THIS FRIDAY!!! THOR - TRIUMPHANT - THORTOEN/PHD Thor the Rock Warrior has been kicking around the heavy metal scene since the late �70s and by the amount of albums he�s been unsheathing in recent years shows no signs of letting up anytime soon. From the glam rock sounds of 1977�s Keep The Dogs Away to the classic heavy metal thunder of 1984�s Only The Strong to last year�s cyber metal comeback album Dogz II, Vancouver, Canada�s own resident bodybuilder/B-movie star/comic hero/rock frontman has delivered the goods to his adorning fans time and time again. Canada's master of metal-physique Thor is back and, as a matter of fact, quite active. Central to his activities is the new album Triumphant which clocks in at 65 minutes. The album kicks off with Call Of The Triumphant and for those who are not familiar with Thor, it sounds akin to Manowar's fountainhead. It is quite catchy really. Intercessor follows, a track culled from the film The Intercessor: Rock N' Roll Nightmare 2, which sounds thematic. Thor sounds uncannily close to Axl Rose on this one. Viking's Funeral is a tale of Valhalla and slower in pace to allow for the narration. Back For Blood is a little heavy rock dittie with female backing vocals towards the end. This is followed by Fubar Is A Super Rocker which is another song culled from a movie. This one comes from Fubar: The Movie (I have to see these!) and sounds more like a army training cassette than anything else. Everybody Needs A Hero follows next and sounds quite close to a certain Marilyn Manson hit single. It is catchy and abetted by multiple vocal tracks. Is that Neil Young on guitar? It sure sounds like him. Anger is a popish song with more catchy guitar rhythms ('Anger is my middle name') and Stormbringer is even more pop in its intentions. Imagine a 1979 chart-topper. Thunderhawk is a return to hard rock and picks up the pace. This one will probably fuel Manowar's inspirations for another ten years. Fight For You and Hail Steeve Reeves (a bodybuilder) lead to the last song on the album entitled The Guadian's (sic) Flame. The hidden tracks here are classic Thor material in the form of We Accept The Challenge, Lightning Strikes (new version?) and Search & Destroy Drink specials all weekend...Get into the scene - Support Live and Local Music...BE THERE Friday Nov 8. 9pm @ the SoundGarden. - Tue, 5 Nov 3:47am - Tue, 5 Nov 2002 5:48am | ||

| matt t User Info... | he came on before gwar. i felt sorry for the old guy with the burden of having that spot before them. i cant really say anything nice other than he does have a lot of energy for those first 10 minutes. - Wed, 6 Nov 2002 11:39pm | ||

| Goddess User Info... | Hey Mr. Hell, I guess you wrote that before you knew I'd be on with him (the part about it sucking) ;) - Sun, 10 Nov 2002 6:48pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | I stand by my assessment of his music. It has nothing to do with your presence on the stage, Goddess. See show reviews for details. hehe. - Sun, 10 Nov 2002 7:15pm | ||
