Live'n'Alive
Thundermother
Live’n’Alive is Thundermother’s first live album, released digitally on April 17, 2026 and physically on July 10, 2026 via Napalm Records, and recorded across their 2025 European headline tour. It arrives on the heels of their sixth studio album Dirty & Divine and is explicitly designed to showcase the band’s new lineup—founder/guitarist Filippa Nässil, vocalist Linnéa Vikström Egg, bassist Majsan Lindberg, and drummer Joan Massing—playing a full, unedited set. Across 19 tracks and about an hour, the record captures performances in Cologne, Huskvarna, Copenhagen, and Gothenburg, presenting the 2025 setlist straight through as a snapshot of their current onstage sound.
The band and label emphasize that Live’n’Alive is “100% live”: no backing tracks, no overdubs, and no re-recorded instruments, just loud, bluesy, melodic hard rock played straight to tape. The tracklist cuts through their catalogue, from newer songs like Can You Feel It and Loud and Free to fan favorites such as Dog From Hell, Take the Power, Whatever, Thunderous, and Driving in Style, with older material effectively “reborn” by Vikström Egg’s powerful, charismatic vocals and Nässil’s Angus Young–style guitar presence. Critics generally praise the record as a joyful, high-energy run of anthemic hooks and bluesy hard rock that comes impressively close to capturing the thrill of a Thundermother show, even as some reviewers note that the relatively low level of audible crowd participation can make parts of it feel more like an impeccably played rehearsal than a fully immersive live document.
