With word getting out about the new studio album Ride Of The Iron Horse from muscle-bound heavy metal icon THOR as well as a string of special live performances already underway, THOR-mania 2024 is in full swing! This year marks a historic milestone for the prodigious purveyor of punishing power metal, an incredible 5 decades since embarking on a solo music career that took him from the competitive bodybuilding tournaments of his youth to leading the charge of metal gods in the '80s and keeping the holy metal flame lit through the 21st century.
Fortuitously, some of the tracks on Ride Of The Iron Horse have their origin in the halcyon days of the '80s. "Flight Of The Striker," for instance, was originally written and demoed in 1987, just a couple of years after THOR's mammoth 1985 album Only The Strong. The song is suffused with classic '80s metal energy and imagery and includes performances by two members of the classic THOR line-up - guitarist Steve Price and drummer Mike Favata, along with bassist Mike Kischnick. "Flight Of The Striker" only serves to highlight just how far THOR has come as both an artist and metal music pioneer! Listen to the song at the link below and check out the awesome lyric video for the track as well! (continue)
