MUSCLE METAL IS BACK!!.......2007-01-04

I have been a Thor fan on and off since first purchasing "Unchained" on vinyl way back in 1983 (CD release please!?!). There have been many great songs here and there since, but I would have to say this is the first time since "Only the Strong" that I think the whole CD is truly great. You have to truly appreciate Thor's style and history to fully appreciate a CD like this, but even newcomers to his style should find plenty to enjoy (if you like the classic metal/rock sound). It contains many styles of rock/hard rock/metal, showing talent with a feast of musical delight from the past 30 years all on one great CD. This is a truly smoking CD, and ranks up there with "Only the Strong" (my all-time fave), and one of his heaviest to date, the new 2006 release "Devastation of Musculation."

Sounds great after a 12 pack.......2006-01-29

This album sounds great after drinking a 12 pack. Beer chugging mullet rock all the way. BUURRRP!

Thor - 'Thor Against The World' (Smog Veil) 3 1/2 stars.......2006-01-08

After hearing several other patrons not ONLY slamming this CD,but Thor as an artist altogether,I was amazed at JUST how decent this latest release by the Norse god-like impersonator turned out to be.Good heavy metal to be had here.Looks to be Thor's tenth effort(including compilations)in 35 years.Had no idea he's been around that long.Maybe nothing original,but I thought 'Thor Against...' carried it's own weight fairly well.Tracks I have actually found myself playing repeatedly were the title opener "Thor Against The World",the uptempo "Creature Feature","Glimmer","Hard To Cry"(good harmonica playing),their love song(sort to speak),the beautifully played "Turn To Blue" and "The Coming Of Thor".I'll probably keep this CD in my current rotation stack for awhile.Line-up:Thor-vocals,Frank Meyer-guitar&keyboards,Bruce Duff-bass,Vince Meghrouni-sax&harmonica and Chris Markwoo-drums.Just might appeal to fans of Twisted Sister,Raven,Manowar,Quiet Riot,early Van Halen and possibly Judas Priest.Worth checking out for yourself.

New THOR CD is awesome..........2005-09-24

Like most great performers, THOR returns with a new CD that sounds contemporary while not losing any of the flavor of what made him great in the first place over 25 years ago... with production help by Los Angeles rock personalities Frank Meyer and Bruce Duff, the songs on this CD rock harder than the top ten "punk" acts of today while also showing a tender side of the Rock Warrior... the best tracks like "Thor Against the World", "Megaton Man" and "Glimmer" carry the THOR trademark of keeping it catchy and uncomplicated... if you are a fan from the 80's you will continue to worship, if you are uninitiated, but a fan of hard driving, booty shaking HARD ROCK then you will pledge your allegiance to THOR...

Raise Your Hammer For The Mighty Thor.......2005-08-15

The first time I ever saw Thor had to be on the U68 "Power Hour" some 20 years ago. This was a New York City UHF channel show that featured Heavy Metal videos for an hour a couple of times a week. It was also considered the poor man's MTV as at the time cable television and MTV were not as commonplace. Despite this title there was still a certain amount of appeal to it because on a regular basis you could count on seeing videos from Stryper, Dio, Yngwie Malmsteen and of course The Mighty Thor. This was long before MTV would ever feature any of these performers and sadder still some never made the transition to the network. So most of us were left to absorb the Metal by turning the dial on the television and aiming those rabbit ears just right to get the best reception. Memories, we all have them, but I digress.

Jon Mikl Thor has released his new CD on Smog Veil Records and it is exactly what you expect someone with 20 plus years in the business to deliver. His usual brand of heroism and bravery placed to Metal music. Thor sings about topics like good versus evil and the power of believing in oneself to achieve victory. Image wise there are a lot of similarities to him and Manowar. Each of them is a true defender of Metal and Hard Rock. With this new release Thor has actually given us a couple of solid Rock tunes and I found a large number of them very interesting. While there is no "Knock Them Down" or "Anger" on the record we do have the "Coming Of Thor" and "Megaton Man". These tracks are among my favorites on the piece and are pretty good rockers. "Thor Against The World" opens the release and has a catchy chorus as well. For those that enjoy ballads there is a good one on the record as well, "Turn To Blue" is really is such a heartfelt piece and it has been stuck in my mind since I first heard it.

The CD is worth checking out if you like Rock and Roll and also wish to support someone who's dedication to his music along with his strength has never faltered. Raise your hammers high for the Mighty Thor!!!!!
