As previously reported, Canuck metal legend, the mighty THOR, performed at the 4th Annual Northwest Metalfest outdoor festival in British Columbia held on August 10th - 12th. A video clip of Thor's performance is available below.

In other news, Thor is scheduled to perform with THE DARKEST OF THE HILLSIDE THICKETS on Saturday, September 1st at The Media Club in Vancouver. Thor will be showcasing a new look with new costumes, and unleashing music from his digital release and limited collectors edition CD Into The Noise, which will also be available at the show.

?Into The Noise is basically a concept album where the band goes on a journey to the center of the mind, of noise,? said Thor. ?They come across all these alternate characters and creatures like The Sound King. It?s a quest. Like in the song ?Back For More?, it?s about coming back to rise up again and do battle again. Sometimes you have to retreat when you get overwhelmed or defeated, but then you regain your strength and go back in. So we?re heading back Into the Noise.?

This album will be an all digital release (although some actual limited edition collectors CDs will be released as well).

Thor has long been a champion of environmental causes, before the industry as a whole jumped on the bandwagon with events such as the Live Earth series of concerts. With the success of recent albums Thor Against The World and Devastation OF Musculation, Thor is very proud to be associated with Smog Veil ?the label is currently converting to an all-Green, environmentally friendly office for its HQ.

Thor will utilize various technologies available to promote Into The Noise such as YouTube and some free downloads from the album on www.myspace.com/thorrockwarrior

Tracklisting for ?Into The Noise includes: 'Warrior's Reprise', 'Into The Noise', 'Evil Twin', 'No Guts, No Glory', 'Escape Or Die', 'Fight For You', 'Sound King', 'If Tomorrow Never Comes', 'Forever & After', 'Back For More',

?The song 'Forever And After' is from a movie that?s been in the works for a long time,? Thor shared. ?I wrote the song back in 2002. It?s an acoustic number ? you hear Thor sing acoustically which I don?t usually do. It?s for a movie coming out called Forever & After. It?s a sci-fi movie."

Videos are being filmed for the title track and the song 'Evil Twin'.

Thor will be featured on an ongoing segment for MTV Canada in August and September, 2007. It features Thor answering letters from fans who need advice on topics such as Love and Sex amongst other things. MTV Canada is also working on a Thor animation called Thor Road Stories.
