BLABBERMOUTH reports that “…Nässil shared a six-minute video in which she addressed some of the questions surrounding the departures of Mancini, Johansson and Lindgren as well as her decision to carry on with a new lineup. She said in part (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET)…’Some stuff you read online and even now in some magazines is true and some stuff has more to it,’ she explained. ‘I mean, there’s a depth to what happened and it’s impossible to read in a few lines or a quote from someone. And I wanna assure you and tell you guys that I did my absolute best to work everything out between the old members. I think we should be conscious in what we’re saying and trust that I have done my absolute best for peace, love and rock and roll and I did everything in my power to work it out with the previous bandmembers…

“‘I’m thrilled to have Majsan back, who’s done hundreds of shows with me in THUNDERMOTHER. She’s the THUNDERMOTHER bass player. And I’m thrilled to have Linnéa Vikström, my friend since many, many years, on vocals. And we have a great new drummer we will announce soon. She likes great bands like CLUTCH, FOO FIGHTERS, BLACK CROWES and stuff like that, so a really groovy drummer. And I can’t wait for the future’…”

“Nässil went on to say that all the previously announced THUNDERMOTHER concerts ‘will happen. Not a single canceled show. Everyone has faith in THUNDERMOTHER and so should you…We are super stoked to tour with the SCORPIONS in Europe again and doing our own shows,’ she added…According to Filippa, the new THUNDERMOTHER drummer will be announced ‘within a week.’ She and her new bandmates are also ‘hoping to release a new song before’ they hit the road.”

With four studio albums, and countless, critically acclaimed live shows under their belt – including international tours with bands like SCORPIONS – it has become abundantly clear that THUNDERMOTHER truly embody the rock ethos. THUNDERMOTHER‘s latest album Black And Gold was recorded at Bagpipe Studios, Stockholm, and was mixed and mastered by Søren Andersen at Medley Studios in Copenhagen. The record is out now on AFM Records and available on vinyl, CD and digital formats.
