"Thunder Seven" is a studio album by the Canadian hard rock band Triumph, released in November of 1984. It was the band's seventh studio album.

The album was certified gold in the US by the RIAA, with sales of over 500,000 copies, on April 21, 2003, almost nineteen years after its initial release.

"Follow Your Heart" was the band's highest charting single of the time, reaching #88 in both the UK and the US. Though another single was released under the form of "Spellbound" and "Cool Down", neither single proved as successful, only charting in Canada, and barely scraping the top 100.

"Thunder Seven" was the last Triumph album to not feature any outside writers, before this the last to feature an outside writer was "Rock and Roll Machine" in 1977.

Artwork

The album cover was illustrated by artist Dean Motter and was computerized version of the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo Da Vinci. The cover is the largest part of the concept in the album, where the band studies the actions and abnormalities of man at the turn of the 21st century.
