Thin Lizzy - Thunder And Lightning [Metallic Gold]

Thin Lizzy went out with a bang, not a whisper, on Thunder and Lightning – their ferocious 1983 farewell album. Now remastered and pressed on stunning metallic gold vinyl, this edition perfectly matches the album’s high-voltage energy and hard rock brilliance. It’s a fitting tribute to Phil Lynott and the band’s final chapter of swagger, soul, and pure electric fire.

The record opens with the explosive title track “Thunder and Lightning,” setting an unrelenting pace driven by Brian Downey’s thunderous drumming and John Sykes’ razor-sharp guitar riffs. “Cold Sweat” remains one of Lizzy’s all-time anthems – a gritty, riff-heavy statement of pure rock attitude. Elsewhere, “The Sun Goes Down” cools things off with dark, moody synths and Lynott’s unmistakable baritone, proving the band could balance power with depth.

Throughout the album, you can feel the band firing on all cylinders. There’s a renewed heaviness here – leaner, faster, and louder than ever – but the heart of Thin Lizzy’s storytelling and melodic charm still shines through. Songs like “Bad Habits” and “This Is the One” showcase their signature mix of grit and grace.

Pressed on eye-catching metallic gold vinyl, this edition is as bold as the music itself. Thunder and Lightning isn’t just a final album – it’s a victory lap for one of rock’s most iconic bands, blazing to the very end.
