Originally a straight-up metal band; when American vocalist Tony Harnell replaced previous vocalist Dag Ingebrigtsen, international success was born. Known for their vocal harmonies and fast soloing courtesy of maestro guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø, TNT had eight albums released with vocalist Tony Harnell before British vocalist Tony Mills replaced him. [[Fan Dumb]] ensued. Then in 2007, ''The New Territory'' was released, causing further [[Broken Base]] wars to ensue. TNT are still going strong in Europe and have completed a new album for 2010, with Bård Svensen from ''Knights of The New Thunder'' working on backing vocals again.
Not to be confused with the rock song "T.N.T.", which is by [[ACDC

'''<big>Below is a summary of each album TNT has produced, with notes here and there on lineup changes and stuff.</big>'''
Line 12:
* ''Tell No Tales'' TNT's biggest hit in the US, this album took a huge turn musically towards hair metal but kept the feel of ''Knights'' in a few tracks such as "Desperate Night" and the title track, the former being regarded as one of the best TNT songs ever. But their hits were the highly commercial "10,000 Lovers (In One)" and "Everyone's A Star". Videos for both are still heavily circulated on metal related shows. This was the final album until 2004 to include original drummer Diesel Dahl, who had writing credits on this album.
* ''Intuition'' By far TNT's most commercial album, this album had a straight up AOR feel. With backing vocals by [[Yngwie Malmsteen]] vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, drums by Norwegian virtuoso Morten Skogstad, and keyboardist Dag Stokke joining the band, it proved to be an enormous success worldwide.
* ''Realized Fantasies'' A more hard sounding album compared to ''Intuition'', ''Realized Fantasies'' featured production by [[
* ''Firefly'' A more experimental album than anything before it, ''Firefly'' was released in 1997 with keyboardist Dag Stokke engineering and mixing the album, and a drum machine being used on the album. It was highly successful in Norway in Japan, with tours for both countries happening with drummer Frode Lamøy from Jack In the Box.
* ''Transistor''
Line 19:
* ''The New Territory'' A completely different album from anything before it, ''The New Territory'' was the first album with singer Tony Mills. Sales of the album were high, but general fan reception was not very pleased. The album had a noticeable 70s feel to it, which was reflected in the mixing as well. The next album would be better received.
* ''Atlantis'' A slightly harder album than ''Territory'', but had a few experiments such as "Tango Girl" and "Peter Sellers Blues". Overall the album was much better received except among the hardcore Harnell fanboys.
* ''A Farewell To Arms'' The newest and so far best recieved of the Tony Mills helmed TNT albums. Returns to the [[
