On July 1, 2003 Valient Thorr self-released their first album (only pressing 1000 copies which were sold at shows), Stranded on Earth, which had the same musical setup as present, but one of their guitarists (Djinn Thorr) used a keyboard, which helped to bring dance elements into their music. This aspect of their music not only further influenced their legendary live shows, but helped to cement their local status as the ultimate live band, with packed hometown shows at local favorite venue Kings Barcade (located in downtown Raleigh, NC). They toured the United States and Canada shortly afterward, doing 47 shows in 52 days.
After replacing original drummer (Donn Thorr) with current drummer Lucian Thorr and ditching the keyboard entirely live and on release, they were soon signed to Volcom Entertainment, where their full-length album Total Universe Man was released on June 7, 2005. At that point, the group members gave up their regular jobs, which ranged from 6th grade teachers to pornshop workers, and set out on the road. They performed on the Volcom stage on the Warped Tour 2005, for the entire tour, except for a few shows where they played the main stage. They continued touring, taking six days off for Thanksgiving and ten for Christmas. Along the way, they lost their original rhythm guitarist (Djinn Thorr) and replaced him with Bjorn Thorr before going on tour with Hot Rod Circuit and Piebald. In honor of his departure, Eiden Thorr took Djinn's old position at shows, moving from Stage Right (the position he held since the band's inception) to Stage Left.
In February 2006, they stopped briefly in Costa Mesa, California to write the follow-up to Total Universe Man.
After Bjorn Thorr left the band, he was replaced by current guitarist Odinn Thorr. On July 11, 2006 they released their follow up album, Legend of the World. They toured the entire Warped Tour again for the summer of 2006 playing the Volcom Stage, with the exception of the hometown stop in Raleigh, NC, where they closed out the night after NOFX and AFI on one of the two mainstages to a packed crowd. At the moment they are doing a short headlining east coast tour, up and down for a month or so, then in mid-October 2006, a tour with Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, Eagles of Death Metal and others follow.
The song Fall of Pangea is an unlockable song in the game Guitar Hero II.
In 2008 they released their forth album Immortalizer.

Valient Thorr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That there's something about you
What am I supposed to do
I sure wish I knew
All the butterflies I felt inside
Never really mattered
Wishful thoughts inside and smiles
End up being shattered
I'm hopelessly addicted to you
But you never felt the same
Time may pass us by
But you stay stuck on my mind
And that moment we stared that night
I thought it was right
But maybe I was wrong all along
I held onto something that never really
mattered
Stuck on that starting line
I'm still silently, quietly hoping you'll end up
with me
I was too dumb to notice
There was something about you
How are you supposed to see things
If only you knew
All the times we were together
I never really mattered
All you see is what you want
My heart is being shattered
What are we supposed to be
I'm helplessly addicted to you
But you never felt the same
Time may pass us by
But you stay stuck on my mind
And that moment we stared that night
I thought it was right
But maybe I was wrong all along
I held onto something that never really
mattered
Stuck on that starting line
I'm still silently, quietly hoping you'll end up
with me
Time may pass us by
But you stay stuck on my mind
And that moment we stared that night
I thought it was right
Time may pass us by
But you stay stuck on my mind
And that moment we stared that night
I thought it was right
But maybe I was wrong all along
I held onto something that never really
mattered
Stuck on that starting line
I'm still silently, quietly hoping you'll end up
with me
I was too dumb to notice
That there's something about you
What am I supposed to do if...
I'm still stuck on you...

I was too dumb to notice
I didn't realize what was happening
That there's something about you
You had a mysterious quality that attracted me
What am I supposed to do
I'm confused and seeking guidance
I sure wish I knew
I'm desperately seeking an answer
All the butterflies I felt inside
I was deeply infatuated with you
Never really mattered
But my feelings weren't reciprocated
Wishful thoughts inside and smiles
I hoped for a future with you, but it was just a pleasant thought
End up being shattered
My hopes were ultimately crushed
What are we supposed to be
I'm questioning the nature of our relationship
I'm hopelessly addicted to you
I can't get enough of you, even though it's not healthy
But you never felt the same
You didn't share my feelings
Time may pass us by
Even though time goes on
But you stay stuck on my mind
I can't get you out of my head
And that moment we stared that night
That special moment we had together
I thought it was right
I believed it was meant to be
But maybe I was wrong all along
Perhaps I was mistaken
I held onto something that never really mattered
I clung onto a false hope
Stuck on that starting line
I can't move forward from my infatuation with you
I'm still silently, quietly hoping you'll end up with me
I secretly hope that you'll fall in love with me too
How are you supposed to see things
You don't even see me
All the times we were together
Even though we spent time together
I never really mattered
My presence was insignificant to you
All you see is what you want
You only pay attention to what you desire
My heart is being shattered
I'm heartbroken
What am I supposed to do if...
I don't know what to do if I can't have you
I'm still stuck on you...
I can't move on from my feelings for you
