Archive material and source history
Thunderbolt came together in Birmingham in the early 1980s, with Paul Di'Anno on vocals, John Gallagher on guitar, Gary Tibbs on bass, and Steve Burnett on drums. They were drawn to the raw, abrasive sound of bands like Motorhead and Venom, and their name fit the music they made: loud, fast, and heavy.
Their debut album 'Thunderbolt' came out in 1985 and caused some stir with its cover art showing a nuclear explosion. The band said it was meant to show the destructive consequences of war, but some critics found it offensive. Their songs like 'Ashes To Ashes... Death To All' and 'Chaos Reigns Over Megiddo' had confrontational lyrics that drew both fans and criticism.
Thunderbolt kept making music that reflected their own experiences and frustrations, with tracks like 'Baptized By Fire' and 'Blood Of The Victorious King' delivering the kind of thunderous riffs and pounding drums they became known for.
