THUNDERMOTHER Unleash “Dirty & Divine” Album Details, Pre-Order and Music Video for New Single “So Close”

Two years on from the release of their last studio album Black & Gold, the Swedish quartet Thundermother has finally revealed the first details about their forthcoming new studio album, entitled Dirty & Divine, that is slated for a release on February 7, 2025 via AFM Records! The album pre-sale has just started at: https://thundermother.bfan.link/dirty-divine

 

A blistering onslaught of loud, proud and groovy hard rock, Dirty & Divine marks the start of a new era for Thundermother and the recorded debut of two new members: frontwoman Linnea Vikström Egg and drummer Joan Massing. Dirty & Divine also welcomes back bassist Majsan Lindberg to the fold. Bigger, bolder and more dynamic than ever before, the Swedes return as an upgraded and remotivated force!

 

Following previously-released tracks, “Speaking of the Devil” and “I Left My License in the Future”, today, the rock goddesses unleash a music video for their latest single, the anthemic album opening track “So Close”!

 

Guitarist and founding member Filippa Nässil reveals: “‘So Close’ was so close to not being included on the album, but when we recorded it live in the studio after all the other songs were done, it turned out so well that it made it across the finish line. It seems we might have stumbled upon a hit.”

 

“So Close” is out now on all digital streaming services at:

Thundermother have always been committed to the electrifying euphoria of real, organic rock ‘n’ roll. Over the course of 15 years and five widely acclaimed studio albums, they have firmly established themselves as one of the most vivacious and vital hard rock bands around, with a never-say-die spirit and collective charisma that underpin everything they do. These women are rock ‘n’ roll diehards, and Dirty & Divine takes that ethos through to its logical conclusion. The sixth Thundermother album crackles and fizzles with gritty authenticity and unstoppable passion. For Filippa and Linnea, their newly forged partnership has been an unequivocal success:

 

“We’ve been working on this a long time, maybe a year and a half,” says Filippa, who was pregnant during the Dirty & Divine recording process and is now a Thundermother for real. “As soon as Linnea came into the band we started sending demos to each other, and we did loads of writing, which was great, because she’s a fantastic songwriter! I was sending her the music and she was sending me these amazing lyrics and melodies. It’s been fun to work with someone that good! On the last album we had outside songwriters because we didn’t have any energy in the band, but now I can just send Linnea music and then just kick back when she sends lyrics and melodies that just crush the song.”

 

Dirty & Divine is the perfect, pugnacious showcase for a new, improved Thundermother. As the first single releases prove, every one of the album’s ten, sweat-soaked gems will turn out to become an instant anthem. Meanwhile, the decision to record the new material live in the studio has reaped its own rewards. Dirty & Divine is the sound of a kickass rock ‘n’ roll band doing it for real, and loving every raucous second.

 

“You’ve still got the same Thundermother feeling, with my guitar playing and all of that,” says Filippa. “It’s still got a ‘70s vibe, but the melodies are catchier and the vocals are obviously different. We never stand still. I think this is the best album we’ve made so far, and I’m very picky! [Laughs] We recorded it in Copenhagen, with Soren Andersen producing again, and we recorded eight songs in four days. So this was the quickest recording we’ve ever done, and the best outcome!“

 

Not just a triumphant return but a complete rock ‘n’ roll reset, Dirty & Divine is the exhilarating masterpiece that Thundermother have long threatened to make. It is an adrenalin-soaked salute to the magic of big riffs and razor-sharp melodies, performed by an electrifying, four-woman force with joy in their hearts and world domination still firmly on the agenda. In support of Dirty & Divine, Thundermother will also embark on an extensive European tour, kicking off in Hamburg, Germany in early 2025 (find all dates listed below!). Ready to rock? You fucking bet!
