TNT "My Religion"

My Religion is the eighth studio album by the Norwegian hard rock band TNT, released on March 8, 2004. It marked a return to the glam metal direction that ended with Realized Fantasies. It was said to be a "breath of fresh air" by most fans and received excellent reviews worldwide when it was released. It is regarded by a large part of TNT's fanbase to be their best album ever, including more known albums such as Tell No Tales and Intuition. Sid Ringsby joined the band to finish the rest of the touring for My Religion and to record the follow-up album, All The Way To The Sun.

This was the final TNT album on which Morty Black played the bass guitar. He left in late 2004 to join Åge Aleksandersen's band.

Japanese edition

1. "Free Again" Tony Harnell, Ronni Le Tekrø

"Just Like God" is not included on the Japanese edition.

The album was met with mixed reviews amongst fans and reviewers alike. It was given max score in Oppland Arbeiderblad while bigger tabloid newspapers in Norway give it a 4 out of 6. The fanbase was, like Firefly, almost split in half while one group did not like this new experimental side of TNT while the other group approached with open arms. Morty Black stated in an interview that Transistor was the natural progression from Firefly. The album is still controversial today but keeps growing on the fanbase and is now accepted as an important part of TNT history. Tony Harnell's solid effort on Transistor is widely known to be one of the strongest vocal performances he did for TNT.

TNT "Firefly"

Firefly is the sixth studio album by the Norwegian hard rock band TNT. It was released in 1997.

The album was a comeback for TNT who split up in 1992 after the release of Realized Fantasies. It also marked a significant change in TNT's sound and is still heavily debated among the fans of the band. The music is more heavy and modern, reflecting the changes in the music business in the first half of the 1990s. It is also Tony Harnell's favourite album. New singer Tony Mills was told by Le Tekrø in 2007 to not even bother listening to it as they would not play anything from the album live.

The album was not as successful as some of TNT's previous albums, but still achieved some success in Norway and Japan. The band toured those countries in support of the album.

10. "Sunless Star" Ronni Le Tekrø, Tony Harnell, Morty Black 4:58
11. "Cool It" Ronni Le Tekrø 3:40
12. "Soldier of the Light" Ronni Le Tekrø, Tony Harnell 5:26

The song "Soldier of the Light" was never meant for the album. It was a demo from the Realized Fantasies sessions and was put on Firefly because the Japanese record company liked it so much.

They opened their live shows with "Only the Thief" as an intro before launching into "Somebody Told You" with Tony Harnell doing the first lines of the songs lyrics before Le Tekrø opened with the song's riff.

Rumour has it that the vocals for "Heaven's Gone" is "off beat" or not in "tempo" with the song as they had originally planned it.

"Angels Ride" has previously been reported as Tony Harnell's favorite TNT song, or one of them..

This CD comes in at least 4 different formats. One 2 CD release (with the “Three Nights In Tokyo” live album as a bonus disc), two single CD releases (the Japanese version on Victor omits “Cool It”), and one American version on Shrapnel entitled “Firefly and Live”, which includes some songs from both CD's in the 2CD edition.

The track “Soldier of the Light” was recorded during the Realized Fantasies sessions, with then-member John Macaluso on drums.
