GLORYHAMMER Unleashes Cosmic Madness with 'Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath'

GLORYHAMMER, the Anglo-American purveyors of power metal absurdity, are back to tickle the fancies of metalheads everywhere with their latest offering, 'Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath'. Known for their outlandish concepts and theatrical flair, the band dives headfirst into a world of ludicrous galactic battles and legendary knights, serving up a hefty dose of musical mayhem that could only be described as gloriously ridiculous.

This new album marks the second with the charismatic Angus McFife V at the helm, whose soaring vocals and vibrant stage presence continue to elevate the band's already outlandish narratives. The album is not just a sequel to the fan-favorite 'Space 1992: Rise Of The Chaos Wizards', but also a testament to GLORYHAMMER's unwavering commitment to delivering the same brand of epic, symphonic power metal that fans have come to expect. If you thought they’d pivot towards progressive jazz or EDM, think again—GLORYHAMMER is here to rock your socks off with pure, unabashed metal.

The concept is as absurd as ever: prepare yourself for a wild ride through a storyline packed with demons rampaging through Aberdeen, the arrival of the Legendary Space Knights of Crail, and a climactic battle that will determine the cosmos's fate. But don’t get too bogged down by the intricacies of the plot; just embrace the chaos and let the thunderous riffs and catchy hooks wash over you. Tracks like 'Ultimate Sacrifice' and 'Die With A Sword In My Hand' are delightfully infectious, blending humor with headbanging goodness that will have you singing along in no time.

The pinnacle of this cosmic adventure is undoubtedly the monumental closing track, 'The Celestial Warhost Of The Dundonian Marches To Space Against The Dark Sorcerer: Final Assault On Battlemoon X-22'. Spanning over 13 minutes, this epic composition showcases the band’s unparalleled musicianship, crafted by the ingenious Christopher 'Zargothrax' Bowes. It’s a cinematic journey that reaffirms GLORYHAMMER's status as masters of both melodic dexterity and theatrical excess, delivering a piece that could stand on its own even stripped of its ludicrous lyrics.

In a world often dominated by darkness, GLORYHAMMER offers a much-needed dose of levity and silliness. 'Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath' is a celebration of everything that makes power metal great: over-the-top narratives, jaw-dropping musicianship, and a hearty laugh at life’s absurdities. So, unless you’re a joyless misanthrope, prepare to embrace the madness and revel in the sonic glory that is GLORYHAMMER.
