Muscle-bound
superheroes THOR are set to fly to heavy metal’s very own Valhalla,
Hollywood CA, on Saturday, May 24th, for an explosive performance at the Loaded club on
Hollywood Blvd. This Vancouver outfit originated in the early ‘70s
with body building champion and former Mr. USA Jon Mikl Thor, and
quickly gained a devout following thanks in part to the band’s
elaborate and supremely entertaining live shows, which frequently
featured Jon performing not just outstanding anthems of metal but
also astounding feats of strength - bending steel bars with his teeth
and exploding water bottles with his lungs!Jon would go on to appear
on the Merv Griffin Show in 1976, which led to a licensing deal with
RCA and the release of THOR's debut album Keep The Dogs Away
the following year.
But it wasn’t until the group’s
1985 album, Only The Strong, that Jon Mikl & Co. really
began to flex their muscles. Recorded in the UK, the album produced
two British chart-topping classics, “Let The Blood Run Red” and
“Thunder On The Tundra,” and earned the band a truly
international following. Now, on the eve of the 30th anniversary of
its release, Deadline Music will offer a special deluxe CD/DVD
edition of this metal masterpiece! Billed as the COMPLETE THOR
experience, this set includes the entire Only The Strong album
along with several rare and unreleased bonus tracks PLUS an
incredible 60 minute concert DVD capturing the band in live
performances during their early ‘80s heyday, performing stunts and
ripping through their best songs - all packaged in a gorgeous 8 panel
digipak with a full color 16-page booklet!
Jon Mikl Thor enthuses, “I am ready
to take the THOR visual and sound experience to the entertainment
capital of the world! What better place to launch the Only The
Strong CD/DVD deluxe edition! As the Superhero Thundergod of Rock
N’ Roll, I promise a night of startling metal and entertainment for
all!”
