THOR To Release 'Devastation Of Musculation' In July

May 24, 2006

Smog Veil Records will release the new THOR full-length album, entitled "Devastation of Musculation", on July 25, 2006.

"Devastation of Musculation" was recorded and produced by Jon Mikl Thor, whose production credits include the soundtrack for the film "Zombie Nightmare" which features performances by MOTÖRHEAD and GIRLSCHOOL. Sharing production credits for the album is Mike Kischnick (EMPYRIA, SEVERED SERENITY). All of the work on the album was done at Iron Works Studios in Kelowna, B.C. Recording began in November 2005 and was completed in March 2006. Mastering was handled by Craig Waddel at Gotham City Studios (VAN HALEN, AEROSMITH, SUM 41) in Vancouver, BC.

"I recently saw a program about 'The Man Whose Arm Exploded'," Thor recounts. "It was about a guy who wanted have the biggest biceps in the world. He pumped himself up with so many steroids and oil injections that his arms reached 50 inches and actually exploded! That is 'Devastation Of Musculation'!" Thor continues 'Trying to make sense out of these desperate measures is what this new album is about. It is easily the darkest and most powerful album I have ever written."

In addition to completing the new album, Thor filmed three videos to help promote it. The "Release The Beast" video is featured on the CD and was directed by Benn McGuire and produced by Knock 'Em Down Productions and Jon Mikl Thor for Chompa-VMS Ltd. The videos completed for "Devastation Of Musculation" and "Lords of Steel" will debut during an upcoming Smog Veil podcast.
