LAST NIGHT
I SAW A LADY
STANDING BY THE FIRE
SHE SMILED AND TOLD ME
I WAS HER DESIRE
Knights of the New Thunder
is the second
studio album
by the
Norwegian
rock band
It was the first
TNT album
recorded with their
new vocalist
Tony Harnell,
who had replaced
their original singer
Dag Ingebrigtsen.
It was their last album
playing
traditional heavy metal,
as their later releases
have a more
commercial/glam metal
style.
Most of the songs
on the album
had been written
and recorded
as demos
while Ingebrigtsen
was still in the band,
but most of the lyrics
were rewritten
by Harnell.
Some of the song titles
were also changed
; "Toys for Boys"
and
"Black Sheep of Valhalla"
became
"Break the Ice"
and
"Knights of the Thunder",
respectively.
Two songs from
TNT's
self-titled first album,
"USA"
and
"Eddie",
were re-recorded
and included on
the album,
though
"Eddie"
was an
exclusive bonus track
on the CD edition
in Europe,
and replaced
"Tor with the Hammer"
on U.S. editions.
"Eddie"
also came on
the single
American Tracks
bundled with
the LP in Europe.

The album's
original cover art
featured an
illustration of
half-naked women
and caused controversy
in Norway.
A new cover
was made
and used for the
national
and
international editions,
except for Japan
where the album
was released with
its original cover
is the
third
studio album
by the
Norwegian
rock band
It was the
best-selling
TNT album
in the U.S.,
according to
their bass
guitarist
Morty Black
.This album diverted
from the power
metal style of
Knights of the New Thunder
into a more
glam metal direction.
