Gods Of Thunder: A Norwegian Tribute to KISS

Rating: NN


Well, I guess this proves it: KISS fans will probably be around for-fucking-ever, doing obsessively bizarre stuff like putting out geographically specific tributes to a band that produced a handful of occasionally bitchin’ tunes in the course of a career of questionable long-term credibility. That said, this disc confirms the fact that Norway is some kind of hotbed of KISS worship. Most of these performers are only popular inside Norway (except, of course, World Idol winner Kurt Nilsen — he beat Kelly Clarkson! — and black metal/psych-ambient band Ulver). It’s kinda like listening to average bar cover bands that would finish up a Sugar Ray medley by shouting, ‘Awri-ight, who’s ready for some KISS?’ Next: Ireland Does KISS… Gaelic-Style!!!
