Earlier in 2016, singer Tony Harnell
and guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø started writing new TNT material together
for the first time in over 10 years. The music is truly exciting and the new
record promises to be a landmark release for the band!
Ronni says: "We have made our best album
to date, and are excited to work with Frontiers to get it out to our
fans!"
Tony adds: "We are looking forward to
tour worldwide in 2017/18 and to play in as many places as we
can."
The band’s lineup is now completed by
drummer Diesel Dahl, Ove Husemoen on bass and Roger Gilton
on keyboards.

TNT was formed in Norway back in 1982,
releasing their eponymous debut album the following year. After some changes in
the line up, the now classic "Knights Of The New Thunder" was released in the
fall of 1984, with a lineup consisting of extremely talented guitar player Ronni
Le Tekrø, drummer Diesel Dahl, American singer Tony Harnell, and bass player
Morty Black.
Throughout the eighties, the band released
the melodic hard rock gems "Tell No Tales" and "Intuition", while building a fan
base in Europe, America and Japan, where "Intuition" became a massive
hit.
In the early nineties the band broke up, but
TNT returned with a couple more albums later in the decade, before disappearing
again. At the turn of the millennium, TNT slowly began to rise once more, and
came back full force when "My Religion" was released to rave reviews in 2004.
The band then went through several line-up and stylistic changes, but they are
now ready to take the hard rock world by storm with their new
album.
