Born of Thunder

About Me

With a common love for the Cro Mags, Motorhead, Judas Priest, beer, and driving for hours in a van, Born of Thunder was formed from the wreck of The Humanoids (Boston power metal heroes) and the crushing guitar of Only Living Witness. With a focus on brutality and the destruction of all mankind Born of Thunder has been touring the northeast and is recording their debut full length to be released on vinyl by Imperial Phonographic recordings.
