THOR To Release New Album In July

May 10, 2005

Smog Veil Records has set a July 12 release date for the all-new THOR album, entitled "Thor Against the World".

"Thor Against the World" was recorded in April and May of 2004 at two Los Angeles recording facilities: TON Studios (Dirty Walt/FISHBONE, Dee Dee Ramone, Johnette Napolitano/CONCRETE BLONDE) and ToneDuff Studios. The album was produced and co-written by the production team Messiaz (Bruce Duff, Frank Meyer). Duff and Meyer have worked with acts like Cheetah Chrome (ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS, DEAD BOYS),Wayne Kramer (MC5),Sylvain Sylvain (NEW YORK DOLLS),Eddie Spaghetti (SUPERSUCKERS) and more. Jon Mikl Thor talks about the making of what he calls "one of the records I am most proud of." "Frank [Meyer] and I started talking about doing an album 5 years ago. We started writing the tunes across the miles sending tapes and CDRs back and forth from California to the Great Northwest. I put my full trust in the Messiaz production when I journeyed to Los Angeles to record.

"Frank Mauceri, the boss of Smog Veil Records is a great visionary," Thor explains about his choice of record label for the release. "I really like his fast growing multi-media company. The industry is rapidly changing and Smog Veil is getting involved with downloading, ringtones, DVDs and movies. They truly see where the future of technology is headed and have their finger on the pulse. I'm honored to be part of the Smog Veil family."

The current THOR album line-up features Jon Mikl Thor on vocals and SWEET JUSTICE as backing band (Frank Meyer on vocals and lead guitar; Bruce Duff on bass, guitar and keyboards; Chris Markwood on drums and percussion) and Brian Kehew (AIR, MOTHER SUPERIOR, MOOG COOKBOOK) on keyboards. Thor tour line-up will vary according to region. The western U.S. dates will feature SWEET JUSTICE as Thor's band.
