Bio:

TNT is a Norwegian power metal band from Trondheim, formed in 1982. The band has released twelve studio albums, three EPs and two live albums while going through numerous line-up changes since its formation. Guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø is the only consistent member of TNT. In 2013 singer Tony Harnell returned to the band after a seven year absence reuniting 3/4 of the band's classic 80s lineup.TNT was formed in the Norwegian city Trondheim in 1982, by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dag Ingebrigtsen, guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø, bassist Steinar Eikum and drummer Diesel Dahl.Securing a national record contract with PolyGram subsidiary Vertigo Norway, they released their self-titled debut album the same year — their only album that features Norwegian lyrics — and got a hit with the single "Harley-Davidson". In August 1983 Morty Black replaced Steinar Eikum on bass, and the following year American vocalist Tony Harnell became TNT's new frontman, making his debut on their album Knights of the New Thunder. His unique and powerful 4 octave range was the final element the band needed to break out of Norway and into the world market. The album was a huge success in Scandinavia and the band then was offered a worldwide deal with Mercury/Polygram worldwide out of New York. Knights was then released in the U.S. in 1984 and the video for "Seven Seas" got heavy rotation on MTV and the album entered the billboard charts.That line-up recorded one more album, Tell No Tales in 1987, before Diesel Dahl parted company from TNT the following year after some turbulent times within the band. Tell No Tales produced TNT's biggest hit, the single "10,000 Lovers (In One)". Tell No Tales marked a slight change in sound from melodic Euro-metal to a more palatable hard rock style, with Le Tekrø and Harnell gaining a reputation as a talented duo. The album was the best selling release in Norway and Sweden that year (outselling hugely popular artists like Michael Jackson and Def Leppard). Tell No Tales also saw the band establishing a mainstream following in Japan and the U.S. Promotional Videos for "Everyone's a Star" and "10,000 Lovers (In One)" were featured on both European and American MTV. They were also featured on Headbangers Ball. The band supported Stryper on a sold out arena tour in the U.S. followed by a tour with Twisted Sister and Great White as well as headlining shows in large clubs in the U.S.Kenneth Odiin became TNT's new drummer and played on TNT's fourth studio album, Intuition, in 1989. This release marked a more AOR-oriented sound, still maintaining a little of the hard rock edge of the previous album. Intuition was another huge success in Scandinavia and Japan. It was also the band's best received American release and saw the band embarking on their first headlining tour of the U.S. which broke attendance records across the country in small theaters and large clubs, thanks to the prominent display of the video for the title track on MTV.

Album:

A Farewell to Arms is the twelfth studio album by the Norwegian hard rock band TNT, released on 15 December 2010 in Japan. The album is in stark contrast to the previous two TNT albums, being a very 1980s-melodic rock-oriented album.The album is titled Engine in the US and Scandinavia.Reception for the album has been generally well received. Hardrock Haven's Derrick Miller gave the album 8.9/10. Scream magazine gave a similar score.The third TNT to feature the other “Tony”… as in the one and only Tony Mills, is upon us. After critical and fan claims that the first two albums with Mills failed to hold up to the TNT legacy this album almost seemed a make or break deal for the band. Well I’m happy to say the third time is the charm for Le Tekro, Mills, Dahl and Borge!After several spins of “A Farewell To Arms”, I can honestly say there isn’t a bad song in the bunch and there are several truly spectacular ones on offer. The record starts off with the heavy and driving “Engine”. The tune has a bit of a modern element to it but in a good way. Tony Mills sounds in fine fashion and the familiar tone of Le Tekro is backing him up. The production on “Farewell” is also huge and beefy!One of my early favorites is track two, “Refugee”. The song has that classic TNT feel with huge, wall-of-sound vocals, piercing guitars and a driving bottom end. I get a similar feeling with the following track “Ship In The Night”. The opening trio of tunes certainly put a big smile on my face when I first played the disc… TNT is back!Even when the band isn’t at their best on the new record, like on “Take It Like A Man – Woman!”, it isn’t all that bad. Mills still sounds great and you have to check out the signature guitar solo that only Ronnie Le Tekro could deliver. Amazing!“Barracuda”, which clocks in at just 2:41 is a song that drives the point home quickly but still does it with conviction. And wait until you hear “Don’t Misunderstand Me”, the song is something of a “breather” for the album as it is has more of a poppy, commercial vibe but it actually sounds like it could have come straight off the “Intuition” album! It’s another great tune!The title track “A Farewell To Arms” brings back the urgency and has a “Tell No Tales” vintage vibe to its sound. The band sounds somewhat “reborn” on this new record. They bring back sounds and vibes of past records but are finally feeling as though they found their stride with Mills.“Someone Else” is a bit more on the commercial side of things but again harkens back to the “Intuition” or “Realized Fantasies” days. The album closes with the only “soft” tune on the record, “God Natte, Marie”. It’s not really a ballad in the true sense but the vocals from Mills are soft and delicate and the song has a cool feel overall.For the European version of the record you get a re-make of the song “Harley Davidson” which the band recorded for their very first record back in 1982. It’s a pretty cool way to show the band has come full circle and is back and on top of its game.Welcome back boys!
