Thors Hammer incluía o saxofonista Jesper Nehammer, o guitarrista Michael Bruun, o baixista Henrik Bødtcher e o baterista Simon Koppel, todos músicos prolíficos na cena musical dinamarquesa. Koppel tocou em gravações de meados dos anos 60 de Don Cherry e do pianista polonês Krzysztof Komeda. Ele também estava no grupo de batida Exploding Mushroom com o roamer inglês Mac MacLeod (Donovan, Mick Softley, Argent, Hurdy Gurdy).
