Heavy metal legend Thor has just returned from his Triumphant North American tour to promote the new album \u201cRide of the Iron Horse\u201d on Cleopatra Records. Every city was one big party celebrating the 50th anniversary of Thor with packed houses and the fans expressing their love of each song by singing along loud and proud!

One of the most exciting shows was at the legendary Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood, California where Thor aka Jon Mikl Thor was able to have his full stage setup with giant dogs and large Viking horns at each side of the stage.\u00a0

Says Thor about the new video \u201c5-0 Let\u2019s Go,\u201d \u201cThe song is my ultimate 50th anniversary celebration anthem for surviving through five decades of Rock n Roll mayhem.\u201d

The new video will be released on May 10th and shows highlights of various Thor concerts from his comeback in the 1990\u2019s to the recent \u201cRide of the Iron Horse\u201d tour. The new video will also introduce Thor’s appearances at the BC Sports Hall of Fame Induction Week to be held at BC Place Stadium. The song was recorded in Vancouver and Calgary. Produced by Kevin Stuart Swain who also played guitar and bass. Lisa Freakrock played drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon Mikl Thor who owned the trademark rights to the 1915 Stanley Cup Champions Vancouver Millionaires, and sold them to the Vancouver Canucks and NHL, now controls the rights to the Vancouver Amazons 1922 Women\u2019s World Hockey Champions. On May 15th, he will be appearing at the VIP Induction into the Hall of Fame of the Vancouver Amazons 1922 Women\u2019s World Hockey Champions. On that same date Jon will be launching his new line of Vancouver Amazons apparel. On May 16 Thor will be dining at the Banquet of Champions to be held at the Vancouver Fairmont Hotel. He and his wife designer Katherine Elo will be sitting at the same table as descendants of the 1922 Vancouver Amazons team.\u00a0
Currently Jon has three more video productions in the works for the current album and soon to be announced upcoming appearances.

\u201cRide Of The Iron Horse\u201d was released on March 22 on both CD and vinyl. In a nod to the vibrant visuals that have always accompanied Thor\u2019s music, the album features original art design by internationally renowned comic book artist Timo Wuerz. With his dynamic illustrations, Wuerz captures the essence of Thor\u2019s larger-than-life persona, bringing a visual dimension to the sonic onslaught.
