The new album has arrived! We're celebrating our 10th anniversary with Parallel Eternity which is both an album and a book chronicling the first ten years of A Sound of Thunder!

We collaborated with composer Brad Charles to create the most epic version of A Sound of Thunder yet: fully orchestrated and over the top! The centerpiece of the album is the 13+ minute "Explorer", a song so epic it spans seasons and crosses continents! The album also features new orchestral versions of fan favorite tracks with new vocal arrangements and new guitar solos.

To fully celebrate 10 years of Thunder you'll want the 2CD edition which features 12 additional tracks not found on the vinyl or digital albums! These include two brand new songs plus crazy alternate versions of fan favorites in various styles from Celtic to dubstep...no, we're not kidding! 

The Parallel Eternity deluxe book is a 72-page history of the first decade of ASoT, featuring tons of photos, artwork, full album lyrics, band commentary and more. Imagine an album booklet, tour book, and biography all rolled into one! 

Parallel Eternity is due out on December 18th worldwide, but physical copies are shipping now from our webstore with free autograph options!

The Kickstarter campaign for our 10th anniversary orchestral album PARALLEL ETERNITY came to a successful conclusion on November 25th!  The campaign ultimately exceeded the $40,000 fundraising goal, finishing with a whopping $55,656 raised by exactly 666 backers! 

All campaign stretch goals were unlocked, which allows us to add several additional songs to the album, give Kickstarter backers an exclusive free bonus EP and flexi vinyl record, and return to Catalonia for a tour in 2020!

Thank you to everyone who backed the campaign. If you missed out and simply can't live without the exclusive Kickstarter goodies that you missed, contact us directly and we'll arrange direct payment for you via Paypal. Otherwise, stay tuned for regular pre-orders to become available in early 2020! 

The Kickstarter campaign to fund our new album PARALLEL ETERNITY continues! We hit our first goal of $40k so the album will definitely be completed. Now we begin chipping away at our stretch goals in hopes of adding more songs to the album! We took a moment to ask members of the Legion about which stretch goals they would like us to prioritize. Based on your answers, we have updated our stretch goals. We hope we can make them all, and if we do, we'll add the things we subtracted (such as Kurenai) back into the mix. Now let's get these stretch goals met! Click here to pledge!

Legion of Thunder, we're getting so close to our first goal! Around 85% to be exact! We're hoping to make our first goal of $40k by Halloween, so spread the word and tell the masses! Click here to visit the campaign!
