TORONTO July 7, 2023 - Thunder Glove, Canada’s Premier Barbarian Band™, has released its third EP, “LUST FOR BATTLE.”
Lust for Battle contains five power-packed songs that tell the tale of Thunder Glove’s epic quest to defeat the evil Sorcerer of Merloon and restore peace to the Kingdom of Vulnavia. The EP – available July 7 from Dungeonmaster Records – was engineered and mixed by Simon Head and mastered by Thunder Glove. Tony Smerek designed the EP’s glorious cover art.
Thunder Glove combines instro-sruf with 8-bit melodies, evoking memories of swords-and-sorcery classics and retro video games. The band’s signature sound was best described by John Law of the Niagara Falls Review: “Enter Thunder Glove — four guys dressed as barbarians playing what sounds like the soundtrack to a long-lost Nintendo game from 1987.”
“We are thrilled to release Lust for Battle,” said Greg Dalgetty, Thunder Glove’s founder and synthesist. “Our previous releases, ESCAPE FROM HELL MOUNTAIN and TASTE THE POWER OF THUNDER GLOVE, demonstrated our prowess as Canada’s Premier Barbarian Band™, but Lust for Battle is our crowning achievement.”
The EP’s five songs – “Lust for Battle,” “Golden Axe,” “Revenge of the Cave Spiders,” “Battle Scars” and “Valley of the Damned” – paint a tapestry of heroism, unusual desires and forbidden magic. Thunder Glove will celebrate the release of Lust for Battle with a special performance with Night Chill and the Great Octopus at the Dakota Tavern on July 22.
