'INTO THE NOISE is basically a concept album where the band goes on a journey to the center of the mind, of noise,' said THOR. They come across all these alternate characters and creatures like The Sound King. It's a quest. Like in the song 'Back For More', it's about coming back to rise up again and do battle again. Sometimes you have to retreat when you get overwhelmed or defeated, but then you regain your strength and go back in. So we're heading back Into the Noise.

THOR will utilize various technologies available to promote 'INTO THE NOISE' such as YouTube and free downloads from the album on www.myspace.com/thorrockwarrior - videos are being filmed for the title track and the song 'Evil Twin'. THOR will be featured on an ongoing MTV Canada segment in August and September, where he'll answer fan letters and give advice on topics such as love and sex. JON MIKL THOR's burgeoning acting career recently saw him starring in the Lifetime Network feature movie 'A Family Lost' to rave reviews, and MTV Canada is also working on an animated special called THOR Road Stories.
