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 Harnell, Lé Tekrø and 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 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.

Take Me Down
TNT (NOR) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A face in the crowd
Hey little angel I've been following you
I know where you're going
And when the full moon rises I'll be
There
Are you lonely
But I'm ready, ready for love, I'm coming
For you
Take me down my fallen angel
Spread your wings tonight
Take me down my fallen angel
Lay your heart on the line
You won't be lonely anymore
Hey girl with your head in the clouds
A pocket full of dust
Now lady evil there's no need to be cruel
The life you've been given is the only
Thing worth livin' for
Are you lonely
Ah you know I'm so lonely too
Are you ready
Ready for love, I'm coming for you
Take me down my fallen angel
Spread your wings tonight
Take me down my fallen angel
Lay your heart on the line
Take me down my fallen angel
Spread your wings tonight
Take me down my fallen angel
Lay your heart on the line
On the line!
(solo)
I can feel it now my fallen angel
You won't be lonely
Take me down my fallen angel
Spread your wings tonight
Take me down my fallen angel
Lay your heart on the line
