THOR BIO
Updated January 2005Jon Mikl THOR is an enduring icon of glam rock/metal, and one of the true originators of rock theatre. THOR's enviable career got off the ground with his appearance on the Merv Griffin Show in 1973 and he has maintained a steady pace ever since, selling hundreds of thousands of records. Over the last three decades, THOR has explored the tongue-in-cheek Sweet/Mott the Hoople/Bowie stylings, hard hitting metal moves of the 80's, and flirting briefly with Nu-Rock/Metal in the late 90's.Starting out in Vancouver, THOR first made waves in the bodybuilding world, becoming Mr. Canada and Mr. USA, always using heavy music as an intensive training tool. He blended his powerful physique with powerful rock, and thus began this amazing cult legend's long reign in the hazy area between superstardom and the dark underground.
Along the way he has become a movie actor and producer, turning out collectible classics like Rock & Roll Nightmare, Zombie Nightmare, Graveyard, and others. Most recently, THOR is appearing in the upcoming USA Network movie Murder At The Presidio, and starring in the soon-to-be-released The Intercessor. And even more movie news will be released soon.
(Keep checking www.thorcentral.com for updates).THOR is still an immensely powerful man in incredible shape and a dedicated performer. Blowing up hot water bottles, bending steel, and having cinder blocks broken over his chest are all in a night's work. THOR has successfully managed to re-invent himself once again. The legions of fans are still there and new generations are finding out for themselves that THOR is just as cool now as he ever was in 1978, 1985, or 1999.THOR was voted one of the Greatest 100 Frontmen of All Time in the July, 2004 edition of the UK's Classic Rock Magazine - a list compiled by polling professional Rock journalists.
THOR'S Steve Price was featured in Metal Mania and Enfeer Rock Scene and more. The 1980's Line up said to be the most famous featured Steve Price Guitar Keith Zazzi Bass
and Mike Favata Drums. They went on from 1981- 1986 with there albums Only the Strong,
Live In Detroit and Recruits Wild in the Streets and the Thor dvd Anthorlogy and Thor Live in London also the video Breakin Metal.
The concept album Beastwomen was released in 2004, and for this phenomenal Metal Opera, THOR hooked up with American fantasy artist extraordinaire Mike "Mick" Hoffman, one of the best fantasy artists currently working in comics today. Hoffman's work summons up the spirit of adventure in Classical Art for a modern audience.Jon and Mick joined forces in 2001, and have produced several THOR comic books including Thor: The Rock Warrior ..1 and Thor vs. Beastwomen From the Center of the Earth. The hot-lava finale of Beastwomen leaves ample room for a sequel, and the highly-prolific artist Hoffman guarantees that the third stanza of a Thor Trilogy is indeed on its way. Not your typical Rock album, Beastwomen is a total-experience multimedia product as a concept album, an illustrated comic book, and with a movie and videogame in the works.A new album, THOR Against The World has already been recorded, and should be unleashed very soon. This is Metal the way Metal SHOULD be - tapping into and channeling the very heart & soul of the genre! It's extremely catchy and addictive, with a timeless quality that will make it just as fresh decades from now as it will be on its release
BACK TOGETHER AGAIN THOR AND GUITARIST STEVE PRICE .
