Two years on from the release of their last offering Black & Gold, the Swedish rock quartet Thundermother is currently gearing up for their much-awaited, forthcoming studio album, Dirty & Divine, due out on February 7, 2025 via AFM Records! The album pre-sale is available at this location: https://thundermother.bfan.link/dirty-divine
Following a series of previously-released tracks, heavy rockers “Speaking of the Devil”, “I Left My License in the Future” as well as the catchy album opening track “So Close”, today, Thundermother are premiering a spine-chilling music video for their latest single, the anthemic rock juggernaut “Dead or Alive”!
The band comments:
“With Dead or Alive we’re exploring the feeling of emptiness that sometimes come after a warm summer and into the fall. We’re asking the question of “what do I do with my life, now that the darkness is upon me for eight months?”. We’re don’t have any answers, but we hope that our fans can connect with that feeling and that Dead or Alive can be a song for those who is asking that same Question.”
Thundermother have always been committed to the electrifying euphoria of real, organic rock ‘n’ roll. Over the course of 15 years and five widely acclaimed studio albums, they have firmly established themselves as one of the most vivacious and vital hard rock bands around, with a never-say-die spirit and collective charisma that underpin everything they do.
A blistering onslaught of loud, proud and groovy hard rock, their upcoming studio offering Dirty & Divine marks the start of a new era for Thundermother and the recorded debut of two new members: frontwoman Linnea Vikström Egg and drummer Joan Massing. Dirty & Divine also welcomes back bassist Majsan Lindberg to the fold. Bigger, bolder and more dynamic than ever before, the Swedes return as an upgraded and remotivated force! These women are rock ‘n’ roll diehards, and Dirty & Divine takes that ethos through to its logical conclusion. The sixth Thundermother album crackles and fizzles with gritty authenticity and unstoppable passion.
Dirty & Divine is the perfect, pugnacious showcase for a new, improved Thundermother. As the first single releases prove, every one of the album’s ten, sweat-soaked gems will turn out to become an instant anthem. Meanwhile, the decision to record the new material live in the studio has reaped its own rewards. Dirty & Divine is the sound of a kickass rock ‘n’ roll band doing it for real, and loving every raucous second.
“You’ve still got the same Thundermother feeling, with my guitar playing and all of that,” Filippa recently said. “It’s still got a ‘70s vibe, but the melodies are catchier and the vocals are obviously different. We never stand still. I think this is the best album we’ve made so far, and I’m very picky! [Laughs] We recorded it in Copenhagen, with Soren Andersen producing again, and we recorded eight songs in four days. So this was the quickest recording we’ve ever done, and the best outcome!“
Not just a triumphant return but a complete rock ‘n’ roll reset, Dirty & Divine is the exhilarating masterpiece that Thundermother have long threatened to make. It is an adrenalin-soaked salute to the magic of big riffs and razor-sharp melodies, performed by an electrifying, four-woman force with joy in their hearts and world domination still firmly on the agenda. In support of Dirty & Divine, Thundermother will also embark on an extensive European tour, kicking off in Hamburg, Germany in early 2025 (find all dates listed below!). Ready to rock? You fucking bet!
