Thunder 'RESURRECTION DAY’ Official Lyric Video - New album WONDER DAYS
The sensational return of UK rock legends Thunder continues to gather unstoppable momentum. Having recently stormed the UK charts with their Top 10 album ‘Wonder Days’ the London five-piece have just completed a headline tour of arenas around the country, with the Daily Express stating:
“[As] the 7,000-strong audience erupts it instantly showcases a band perfectly at home in the cavernous Leeds amphitheatre and proves how a classic rock band can still sound vibrant, fresh and relevant in 2015…. Luke Morley’s guitar playing is simply stunning but what really sets Thunder apart is singer Danny Bowes, he is without doubt in the top echelon of great blues-rock voices… The encore allows Bowes and Morley to tease and tantalise the pleading audience [provoking] cheers and screams that threaten to blow the roof off the newly-built Leeds venue.”
And now Thunder announce the April 20th release of their digital five-track ‘Resurrection Day EP’, which features the following exclusive tracks:
1. Resurrection Day (radio edit)
2. Resurrection Day (album version)
3. Don’t Say That (RAK Studio Acoustic Live)
4. The Rocker (Brooklyn Bowl Live)
5. Black Water (Brooklyn Bowl Live Video)
Thunder have also unveiled the video to the emotionally charged rock anthem, ‘Resurrection Day’, showcasing them in all their live glory.
The song comes from the inspirational story of guitarist Ben Matthews life-and-death struggle with cancer. As the band gathered to record the album they learned that he had the disease in his tonsils requiring an unbelievably gruelling series of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. As a result he didn't get to feature much on the recording, but the news of him getting the all-clear last July inspired lead guitarist Luke Morley to write the song as a celebration of Ben’s ‘resurrection’ and return to health.
‘Resurrection Day’s message, that out of the darkness of cancer hope can shine, has fast become a favourite with fans and critics alike. Combined with Matthew’s recovery, and triumphant performances last week on tour, Thunder have returned to the very highest levels of British rock.
Musically, the track showcases all the classic Thunder traits, exuding a no-holds-barred pop prowess with the unmistakable vocals of Danny Bowes, backed up by a master-class of rock guitar playing and a rhythm section at the top of their game.
The band return to the national airwaves this weekend as very special guests on Terry Wogan’s BBC Radio 2 show on Sunday at 11.00am, playing live and having a chat with the legendary presenter.
They will also be releasing another track from the ‘Wonder Days’ album, ‘When The Music Played’, on limited-edition 10” vinyl for Record Store Day on Saturday April 18th.
Following Thunder’s storming headline UK arena dates, the band will appear as Very Special Guests with ZZ Top at Wembley Arena on June 24th, alongside a much-anticipated appearance at Download Festival and further European dates.
Our UK Rock heroes are back, bigger, better and stronger than ever before.

Cain's Offering "Stormcrow" Trailer (Official / New Album / 2015)
Finnish Power Metal is Stronger than Ever on CAIN’S OFFERING New Studio Album "Stormcrow" - Out on Frontiers in May.
Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of the second CAIN’S OFFERING studio album entitled “Stormcrow” on May 15th in Europe and May 19th in North America.
CAIN’S OFFERING is the brainchild of Finnish guitarist/songwriter Jani Liimatainen (founding member of one of Finland's biggest music exports SONATA ARCTICA).
Drawing its musical influence from both the classic Hard Rock scene, the fast-paced European Power Metal and a very modern Heavy Metal sound, CAIN’S OFFERING is, just as expected, another perfect example of today's living and breathing Finnish music scene.
Joining Jani on the band’s sophomore release, coming after 2009’s acclaimed debut “Gather the Faithful”, are STRATOVARIUS members vocalist Timo Kotipelto and keyboardist Jens Johansson, plus Jonas Kuhlberg on bass and Jani "Hurtsi" Hurula (Paul Di'Anno) on drums. “I was approached about doing this second Cain’s Offering album already a few years ago” explains Jani, “but back then I was way too busy with other projects to even consider taking the time to write an album worth of material, but last year when I was approached about it again I thought that the time might be right and felt like I could really focus all my energy on the album”.
Jani continues “I think musically the new album is a bit more focused and coherent. “Gather The Faithful” was the first album where I wrote all the music and lyrics by myself, and in retrospect maybe I was a bit too ambitious, trying to prove that I can actually write really good, complex songs. It’s been six years since the first one and I think that I have matured as a writer, not trying to prove anything anymore, just trying to write the best possible material. It’s still very much vocal and melody orientated writing, since to me the melody is always the king, but I did try to keep things a bit more simple this time. Although I think Timo would still say some of the vocal melodies are quite complex!”
“Stormcrow” is a tour-de-force of who's-who in the Finnish heavy metal scene, and yes, this does sound like a wet dream come through for all fans of melodic Heavy Metal. And guess what - the final result is going to blow you away as this album melts the best of SONATA ARCTICA and STRATOVARIUS in a new, exciting and powerful sound!
“Stormcrow” tracklisting includes: Stormcrow; The Best Of Times; A Night To Forget; I Will Build You a Rome; Too Tired To Run; Constellation Of Tears; Antemortem; My Heart Beats For No One; I Am Legion; Rising Sun; On The Shore
Musicians:
Timo Kotipelto: Lead Vocals
Jani Liimatainen: Guitars
Jonas Kuhlberg: Bass
Jani Hurula: Drums
Jens Johansson: Keyboards
