[edit] Band Bio

Thunderlip sounds like a little bit of Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe, southern rock, ‘80s glam spandex, with a shirtless long haired singer.[citation needed] Many members of the Valient Thorr fan club, Thorriors support Thunderlip, because of their similar sound and style.[citation needed]

[edit] About Thunderlip

[edit] Self-Titled Album

  • FUEL TV’s Best of Metal 2005 (top 4) - for their video “Fire in the Hole” from their debut!

[edit] The Prophecy

On the album - The Prophecy - the vocal treatment is a little more in-line with an earlier day of metal and southern rock; the bass holds the back beat with a steady, pulsing, very tasteful blues-style old-school-southern-rock feel; the drums are steady and driving and remain true to their sound and their southern roots; and the guitars kick your ass with well-placed, intentionally-killer riffs, runs, taps, and solos. This album also features a bonus track - Thunderlip covers Deep Purple’s “Highway Star”
