Thor Movie Starring Jon Mikl Thor Triumphantly Storms Across The World

Vancouver, BC…The Thunder Chariot of legend is set to take to the stormy skies to bring THOR onto a world tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the triumphant “Only The Strong” album. The tour – which is being done in stages – continues through Fall, 2010 and coincides with the re-mastered re-release of this legendary album.

On this leg of the tour, the Thunder Chariot touches down in Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City, Canada. Then the mystical goats Tanngrisni and Tanngnost will also be transporting their mighty master in 2011 to the UK, Germany, USA, Sweden, Japan, and Brazil during the course of the tour.

There are special surprises in store for the upcoming Canadian dates, including a showing of the trailer of the exciting new movie: “Rock & Roll Nightmare – Son of THOR!” Directed by John Fasano, Screenplay by John Cody Fasano, Starring Jon Mikl Thor, Dan Roenuck, Leslie Easterbrook, and Mark McCaulay. You can check out the trailer here: http://vimeo.com/16062894

The UK appearances will also be very special indeed since it’s also the first time THOR has appeared there in 25 years!!! The UK is a stronghold of THOR fans, where he was voted one of the Top Frontmen Ever by Classic Rock Magazine. The Bible of Metal – Kerrang Magazine – was one of the first to ever herald THOR’s praises in the early days of his career.

As befitting a Thunder God, “Only The Strong” shot like lightning up the UK charts when it was originally released in 1985 on the strength of such anthems as the title track, “Thunder In The Tundra”, “Let The Blood Run Red,” still audience favorites to this very day! The original release was on vinyl, however, and ravenous fans have hungered for the album to be released in CD form. Not only have their prayers reached Asgard itself, they’re treated to these favorite songs remastered with the strength and polish of a well-honed sword.

“We totally re-mastered and enhanced everything, remixed it,” said Thor. “ I give all the credit to Steve Price and his studio Stepco Sound in Boca Raton, Florida, for doing that. Steve really worked hard in the re-mastering.”

According to THOR: “We’ll probably do ‘Only The Strong’ in its entirety. But we will have a couple others, like “We Live To Rock” – everybody always wants to hear that one from “Rock ‘n’ Roll Nightmare”, which of course was recently voted The Greatest Rock & Roll Movie of All Time by Exclaim Magazine, which we’re very proud of! That’s over ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ and all the biggest Rock movies of all time! Even ‘Spinal Tap’! We were very proud to get that award! That song ‘We Live To Rock’ is from that movie, and everybody wants to hear it all the time. So we’ll play that. Of course we’ll play some of the favorites, but we’re mainly concentrating on ‘Only The Strong’.”

Die-hard collectors, take note: there will be 3 versions unleashed of “Only The Strong” – the North American version (Vulcan Sky Records), the European version (Ektro Records), and an I-Tunes version. What’s the difference between them?

“They sound exactly the same,” Thor explains. “Just the cover is different. The I-Tunes one that is coming out, the cover is also different, and there will be a different bonus track. But the album is exactly the same. There are bonus tracks on there, like there’s a live version from the Swedish Rock Festival of ‘Warriors of the Universe!’ We’re really excited about that. It’s got really good crowd response singing along with the song.”

THOR has plenty of other irons in the fire now as well: a documentary on THOR’s career has been in the works for awhile and is soon to be released; he’s starring in a new movie, “Rock n Roll Nightmare-Son Of THOR”, and has handed his Vancouver Millionaires sportswear line – which is doing extremely well – over to Canuck Sports & Entertainment.

Tour dates include:
Toronto - Oct. 28 Rue Morgue Presents THOR A NIGHT OF RAGNAROCK
Montreal - Oct 29 SPASM FILM FESTIVAL
Quebec City - Nov 13 IMPERIAL THEATRE
