BW&BK; has received the following press release:

Will you accept the challenge?! Steve Price, lead guitarist for THOR and star of the new Into The Noise album throws down the gauntlet and issues a challenge!

The challenge is for any guitar hero out there that can play the instrumental song 'Berserker' which is featured on the new album. If they can play it note for note and then submit their mp3 version to Fathom Records, they will be in the running for an all expenses paid trip to Orlando, Florida or Hollywood, CA to perform one song with Thor on their upcoming World Tour 2008.

Video file submissions via .MPG, .MOV and .AVI should be sent to Berserker@rockfan.com.

The best 'Berserker' replication that comes in will be uploaded to the www.myspace.com/thorrockwarrior site for consideration and all to hear. The winner will be judged by the fans and announced in March 2008.

(Complete rules and regulations are in the Blog sections of www.myspace.com/fathomrecordsonline and www.myspace.com/stevepriceguitar).

"I don't know" said Joe Keithly, president of Sudden Death Records, “if anyone out there can come close to Steve Price's wailing solo. Steve's Amazing!”

"I consider Steve Price one of the greatest guitarists in the World" adds Thor.

The very halls of Valhalla will shake with celebration as the legendary Rock Warrior Thor takes listeners on a thunderous, epic musical quest with his new album, Into The Noise. Although some songs are already available digitally to whet the appetites of ravenous fans, the album will be officially be released on January 9 by Sudden Death Records in association with Fathom Records (a team that’s a force to be reckoned with indeed). The actual release features three bonus tracks that were not available digitally.

Pre-orders are already being taken at www.myspace.com/fathomrecordsonline and at http://www.suddendeath.com/.

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.”

Thor just performed at Safari Sam’s in Hollywood on December 9th to a packed house of raving fans who are anticipating the release of Into The Noise.
