THUNDERMOTHER To Release New Album, 'Mothers Of Thunder', In February 2027; First Single 'Bimbo Boost' To Arrive In September

In an interview with The Adventures Of Pipeman conducted at this month's Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany, guitarist Filippa Nässil and vocalist Linnéa Vikström Egg of Swedish rock and rollers THUNDERMOTHER revealed that their new album will be titled "Mothers Of Thunder" and will be released in February 2027. The LP's first single, "Bimbo Boost", will be made available in September 2026.

"We're so looking forward to having this album out, because it's gonna be fucking killer," Linnéa said.

Regarding the lyrical inspiration for "Bimbo Boost", Linnéa said: "It's got multiple layers to it. [Laughs] I'm blonde and I bought my hair for very much money, so [laughs] I'm a bit of a bimbo myself. I'm a blonde Swedish girl. Obviously, I'm a bimbo."

Filippa added: "A guitar player has a boost button on stage to make the solo louder. We wanna have a little pedal to just, [when you step on it], we have makeup on."

THUNDERMOTHER released its first live album, "Live'N'Alive", digitally in April 2026 via Napalm Records.

Founded in 2009 by guitarist Nässil, THUNDERMOTHER is known for its electrifying rock anthems and relentless touring. Live highlights include supporting the legendary SCORPIONS both in North America and Europe, playing the KISS Kruise and performing regularly at major festivals such as Wacken Open Air.

In 2025, THUNDERMOTHER unleashed its acclaimed sixth album "Dirty & Divine", which hit the Top 2 on the official German rock/metal chart. Following that first release with the new lineup consisting of Nässil, Vikström Egg, returning bass player Majsan Lindberg, and drummer Joan Massing, was a European headline tour, during which "Live'N'Alive" was recorded.

The new THUNDERMOTHER lineup made its live debut on April 20, 2023 by playing a "secret" show at Pub Anchor in Stockholm, Sweden. The latest THUNDERMOTHER incarnation played its first "official" concert on April 22, 2023 at Ski & Rock in Sälen, Sweden. They then kicked off a series of European shows as the support act for the SCORPIONS.

In February 2023, it was announced that singer Guernica Mancini, drummer Emlee Johansson and bassist Mona Lindgren were exiting THUNDERMOTHER and were forming a new band together, which later became THE GEMS. At the same time, Nässil revealed that she would continue with a new THUNDERMOTHER lineup.
