Description
Recalling acts like Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Iron Maiden, Valient Thorr is a spastic riff-a-thon machine with barely decipherable vocals and harmonized hammer-ons. The band claims a kindred spirit in the MC5, which epitomized the rock-and-roll-can-save-the-world mentality that every hard-working band aspires to. Figure in a viking-sheik fashion sense and you're beginning to understand what Valient Thorr is all about.
