Philip Dale Thompson is an American singer. In 1983, along with his younger brother Troy, Dale formed the band Matrix and began writing original material. In 1986, Matrix was signed to a record deal and changed their name to Bride. Between 1986 and 2013, Thompson released 14 studio albums with Bride, along with five solo albums, before disbanding the group, with the brothers remaining the only two original members throughout Bride's career. A lyric tenor in Bride's early days, Thompson was known for his powerful and stratospheric voice, as is evidenced on such early Bride songs as "Evil That Men Do", "Hell No" and "Here Comes the Bride".
Thompson was into boxing and weightlifting, and currently holds two Kentucky bench press records. He has the title as the "Strongest Man in Kentucky."
Thompson and his brother retired Bride in 2013, after releasing the band's 14th and final album, Incorruptible.
Thompson currently lives in New Zealand and has a new musical project, "The World Will Burn", with Kentucky-based multi-instrumentalist Alan Zaring. The duo has released their debut album, Severity. He also formed a new band called "N.O.G.", meaning "No Other God".
