During their European headline tour, Live’n’Alive was recorded. This substantial 19-track offering showcases THUNDERMOTHER’s explosive live energy from their 2025 setlist.

Along with the announcement, the band have unveiled their first single. The new live version of “Whatever” was recorded during THUNDERMOTHER’s show in Gothenburg in October of 2025, during the second leg of their “Dirty & Divine Tour”. Originally released on their self-titled third album, Thundermother (2018), this track is a fresh take on one of the band's biggest anthems. Fans get to dive into the energetic performance with an accompanying live video. Additionally, “Loud and Free - Live in Cologne” (Black and Gold, 2022) and “Speaking Of The Devil - Live in Huskvarna” (Dirty & Divine, 2025) are also available to stream now.

Guitarist Filippa Nässil  spoke about “Whatever - Live in Gothenburg”:
“‘Whatever’ is dear to our hearts, as it’s a song we’ve played at every gig since its release in 2018. It’s one of my all-time favourite songs to perform. The live version differs from the studio recording, featuring a longer, four-on-the-floor guitar solo. The war against drugs continues—you don’t need drugs to be rock ’n’ roll, but you DO need adrenaline!”
