TORONTO April 30, 2023 - After obliterating audiences at Handlebar, the Garrison and the Revue Cinema earlier this year, Thunder Glove, Canada’s Premier Barbarian Band™, has announced plans for its Summer of Sorcery.
On May 22, Thunder Glove opens for Dog Party at Lee’s Palace. In June, Thunder Glove unleashes its first-ever music video — “Golden Axe” — a single from the band’s upcoming third album, Lust for Battle. Thunder Glove will then host an album release party for Lust for Battle at the Dakota Tavern on July 22 with special guests Night Chill and the Great Octopus.
“We have traded blows with many worthy opponents this year,” said Greg Dalgetty, Thunder Glove’s founder and synthesist. “But nothing will match the feats of bravery and heroism we will unleash upon the world with Thunder Glove’s Summer of Sorcery.”
Thunder Glove started as a solo project during lockdown when Dalgetty combined two of his passions – swords-and-sorcery films from the ’80s and retro video games – to create the band’s first album, Escape from Hell Mountain, in 2021. The following year, Thunder Glove released its second album, Taste the Power of Thunder Glove, combining instro-surf and 8-bit melodies to delight listeners the world over with the band’s signature barbarian sound.
And how to describe that signature sound? John Law of the Niagara Falls Review may have said it best:
“Enter Thunder Glove — four guys dressed as barbarians playing what sounds like the soundtrack to a long-lost Nintendo game from 1987.”
“Everyone in Thunder Glove embraces the concept of dressing up as barbarians and playing songs that sound like they come from lost levels of Golden Axe,” Dalgetty said. “It is our great honour to deliver audiences an authentic 8-bit barbarian experience.”
ABOUT THUNDER GLOVE. Thunder Glove is Canada’s Premier Barbarian Band™, combining swords and sorcery with the glory years of retro video games, evoking memories of Golden Axe, Conan the Barbarian and Masters of the Universe.
