Thor

"Jon Mikl THOR" is an enduring icon of rock and metal, and one of the true originators of rock theatre. Jon Mikl THOR is likened to THOR, the Nordic God Of Thunder,Son Of Odin and Frigge, Brother of Balder and benefactor of mankind. Scholars have argued the significannce of THOR's Hammer and likened it to the magical sword exalibur from ancient saxon legend King Authur. Legend has it that THOR, The Hurler, The Thunderer could wield his mighty hammer and cause heavy storms. He generated fiery lightning and furiously loud thunder that could shake the earth and make Cyclones look calm. The real life THOR who plays a thunderous brand of music draws similarities to where historians could report findings of parallel roles of mythology and music. He who walks the earth....Jon Mikl THOR.It was 30 years ago that THOR's enviable career got off the ground when he released the most unique album in Rock History with "Keep The Dogs Away".
