LEATHERWOLF streamen ihr neues Video zur Neueinspielung des Klassiktracks `Thunder`, vom 1989 erschienenen Album “Street Ready“. Bisher war er den Besitzern der japanischen Version von “Kill The Hunted“ vorbehalten. Ab heute, ist der Track, bei dem auch Joel Hoekstra mit einem Gastsolo zu hören ist, auf den digitalen Plattformen erhältlich. Auf Vinyl erscheint der Track als Bonus der “Kill The Hunted“ LP, die am 18. August herauskommt.
Dean Roberts, Gründungsmitglied und Drummer von LEATHERWOLF erklärt:
„‚Thunder‘ has always been a strong fan favorite and a song that’s been a mainstay in our setlist over the years. Once we started putting together the ‚Kill The Hunted‘ album, we knew we’d likely need an extra track or two for different editions. That’s when the idea arose to re-record a few of the old songs, including ‚Thunder‘, with the new band. You know, as much as I like the original versions, I was always curious what they would sound like with today’s sonic possibilities. And I think the result speaks for itself – the new ‚Thunder‘ is sounding so much more metal! Keith (Adamiak) is killing it on vocals and giving it that extra edge, Rob (Math) is on fire, and Joel (Hoekstra) put down an amazing guest solo which Luke (Man) will be playing live. So far, ‚Thunder (MMXXII)‘ has only been available as a bonus track on the Japanese ‚Kill The Hunted‘ CD so we’re excited to be able to present the track to a wider audience through vinyl and digital.“

Lyrics:
The wind is still
And the night is long
The morning brings on the sun
Rain now forever
When this I found
My coming would bring on the sound
(I am the thunder)
That starts the rain
(I see the heavens)
Open the gates
(I am the lightning)
That lights up the sky
(I have the answer)
The secret is mine
Whoa-woah
The secret is mine
From heaven in Neptune
The raging seas
Moonlight in nations and kings
For ages and ages
My messengers bring
Songs for the angels to sing
Sing it
(I am the thunder)
That starts the rain
(I see the heavens)
Open the gates
(I am the lightning)
That lights up the sky
(I have the answer)
The secret is mine
I am fire at night
I am the cold of the night
The valley’s echo is mine
My legend lives on through time
Bang!
Giants and saucers
They cannot withstand
The power I hold in my hands
Meekness is weakness
And I’ll surpass
My strength to my own vengeant last
(I am the thunder)
That starts the rain
(I see the heavens)
Open the gates
(I am the lightning)
That lights up the sky
(I have the answer)
The secret is mine
Whoa!
The secret is mine
Yeah!
I am the thunder
