1) TNT is a hard rock band… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 11 artists called TNT.
1) TNT is a hard rock band formed in Trondheim, Norway in 1982, by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dag Ingebrigtsen , guitarist Ronni Lé Tekrø , bassist Steinar Eikum and drummer Morten "Diesel" Dahl . They released their self-titled debut album the same year — their only album that features Norwegian lyrics — and got a hit with the single "Harley Davidson". In August 1983 Morty Black replaced Steinar Eikum on bass, and the following year American vocalist Tony Harnell became TNT's new frontman, making his debut on their album Knights of the New Thunder with the temporary stage name Tony Hansen. That line-up recorded one more album, Tell No Tales in 1987, before "Diesel" Dahl decided to quit one year later, after some turbulent times within the band. Tell No Tales - as co-written by Dahl - produced TNT's biggest hit, the single "10,000 Lovers (In One)".
Kenneth Odiin became TNT's new drummer, but recorded only one album with the band, Intuition in 1989, before he left. His replacement was John Macaluso, who played on the albums "Realized Fantasies" and "Three Nights in Tokyo" (both released in 1992). The same year they decided to take a break, choosing to focus on various solo projects. In 1996 the compilation "Till Next Time" was released, and Tony Harnell, Ronni Le Tekrø and Morty Black reformed TNT with drummer Frode Hansen. That line-up recorded two albums, Firefly in 1997 and Transistor in 1999.
In 2000 Morten Diesel Dahl came back to TNT, 12 years after he left. The band started working on their new album "My Religion", which was released in 2004. Months after the album release, Morty Black decided to quit, and Sid Ringsby took his place for the following concerts.
TNT's new studio album, All The Way To The Sun was released in the fall of 2005. A single, "Sometimes" was released on July 25th, but was only available in Norway. The same year Victor Borge replaced Sid Ringsby as their live bassist.
Tony Harnell left the band in April 2006 for both personal and professional reasons, although he is collaborating with iMagic Films and producer Darren Paltrowitz on a live DVD featuring his performance with the band in Madrid, Spain from April 1, 2006. The DVD is intended to be released in Japan in August 2006 and elsewhere in the world in September 2006.
TNT are still alive and kickin' - and are proud to introduce the new man behind the mic: Singer Tony Mills from Birmingham, England. Tony Mills is one of Europe's most respected hard rock singers, mostly known for his work with UK Melodic Rock act Shy and his solo artiste releases of recent years. Tony has worked along side such names as Cinderella, Dokken, Cozy Powell, Meatloaf, The Sweet and many more and will add a new and exciting dimension to TNT as the band enter a new era. It is an unbelievable coincidence that Mills' band Shy were already booked to support TNT at the Polar Festival on June 30 in Storsteinnes, Norway before Harnell's departure. This concert for TNT will be fronted by the ex-vocalist Tony Harnell as a farewell show for him.

So black you can't see
Armored with will to survive
Taking you dead or alive
Hear the roar of our sound
Raging on to the stars
Rock you till the dawn
(we're the) knights of the thunder
(and) lightning is our song
We are the eye of the storm
Cold dark wind from the sea
Fear will never be known
Cause our hearts have turned to stone
Hear the roar of our sound
Raging on to the stars
We're the knights of the thunder
Rock you till the dawn
(we're the) knights ot the thunder
(and) lightning is our song

Bearing the swords of steel
We are armed with weapons of steel
So black you can't see
Our swords are so dark that they are hard to see
Armored with will to survive
We are prepared to fight to survive
Taking you dead or alive
We will capture or kill our enemies
Hear the roar of our sound
Listen to the powerful noise we create
Raging on to the stars
Our sound reaches the vast, cosmic expanse
We're the knights of the thunder
We are the fighters who bring thunderous force
Rock you till the dawn
We'll keep you up all night with our energetic music
(we're the) knights of the thunder
We are the fighters who bring thunderous force
(and) lightning is our song
We embody the energy and intensity of lightning in our music
We are the eye of the storm
We are the center of the chaos and destruction
Cold dark wind from the sea
We bring a strong, chilly force from the sea to our enemies
Fear will never be known
We do not fear anything and we instill fear in our enemies
Cause our hearts have turned to stone
Our hearts are unyielding, making us unafraid and unstoppable
