The god of heavy metal thunder, THOR, wields his mighty hammer once again, unleashing a storm of killer metal riffs and thundering rhythms on his epic new album, Hammer of Justice<\/em>! The amazing fan reception of 2017\u2019s Beyond The Pain Barrier<\/em> as well as the surprisingly delightful holiday themed album Christmas In Valhalla<\/em> caused THOR to team up with the young group of stellar musicians who brought those albums to life including guitarist John Leibel, rhythm guitarist Matt McNallie and bassist Ted Jedlicki along with drummer Tom Croxton. In addition, the metal giant also called upon past associates Frank Meyer (The Streetwalkin\u2019 Cheetahs) and Kevin Stuart Swain (Idle Eyes) to round out the album\u2019s sound. The result is a devastating blast of traditional, old school metal punched up with modern flourishes to appeal to THOR fans young and old! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CD version will be accompanied by a very special DVD with a full-length documentary film called \u201cThe Return Of The Thunderhawk,\u201d which picks up where the award-winning documentary \u201cI Am Thor\u201d left off. The film follows THOR on an epic US and European tour in 2016 following the band\u2019s ups and downs but always anchored by the group\u2019s riveting live performances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


But since there is no substitute for the real thing, THOR will once again be launching a massive tour across North America starting in March. This tour will feature a very special 2 day event in Toronto, dubbed \u201cTWO DAYS OF THOR,\u201d which will include a screening at the Royal Cinema of \u201cThe Return Of The Thunderhawk\u201d immediately followed by a Q&A. Then Day 2 features a live concert at The Rockpile at which THOR will be presented with the key to the city for his contribution to the Toronto music scene and the city itself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
