Thor je kanadská heavy metalová kapela z Vancouveru, aktívna už od sedemdesiatych rokov. Svojim rockovým spektáklom a originálnym prístupom k metalu si vybudovala kultovú reputáciu po celom svete a stále obchádza koncertné pódiá.
Album Alliance vyšiel v roku 2021 na vydavateľstve Cleopatra Records a ponúka sedemnásť skladieb, v ktorých Thor spája klasický heavy metal s power metalovými prvkami a motívmi severskej mytológie. Medzi vrcholy albumu patria skladby We Need Musclerock, Ode to Odin, Niflhel (Realm of the Dead) či epický kus Thor Vs. The Juggernaut (War of the Laughter). Textovo sa album pohybuje medzi oslavami sily, odkazmi na Ódina a Valhalu, až po nový rockerský prístup generácie Now.
