Firefly is the sixth studio album by the Norwegian rock band TNT, 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; the music is heavier and more modern, reflecting the changes in the music industry in the first half of the 1990s. It is also Tony Harnell's favorite album. When singer Tony Mills joined in 2007, he was told by Le Tekrø to not even bother listening to it as they wouldn't 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.
Track listing
The song "Soldier of the Light" was never meant for the album. It was a demo from the Realized Fantasies sessions but 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 song's lyrics before Le Tekrø opened with the song's riff.
It's rumoured 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 been reported as one of Tony Harnell's favorite TNT songs.
