Chart-storming power metal warriors GLORYHAMMER are back, and recently announced their highly anticipated upcoming fourth album, “Return to the Kingdom of Fife”, out June 2, 2023 via Napalm Records. Now they have released the second single, “Holy Flaming Hammer Of Unholy Cosmic Frost”, from such album, and you can watch the music video below.
GLORYHAMMER state: “Mighty warriors! His Imperial Dundaxian Highness King Angus McFife, the First of His Name, Lord of Dundee, Scion of Pitlochry and the Outer Reaches of Aviemore, Thane of Auchtermuchty, Celestial Regent of the East Neuk and All Other Locations Unknown to Mankind, hereby invites you to his mighty citadel of Dundee to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the defeat of Zargothrax and his imprisonment in the frozen pool of liquid ice! Behold the mighty city in all its splendors, defended by the invincible Knights of Crail, and join in the revels for a great feast in the Marketgait Courtyard! Many flagons of ale shall be quaffed, and the grAnd8&^3*J@W8,..12(*48jA?/SD…𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗨𝗕𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗬…𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡…𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗭𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗔𝗫 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗣𝗛𝗔 𝟭.”
In the not-so-distant Kingdom of Fife, there lies a band like no other. GLORYHAMMER embodies the very essence of power metal and epic fantasy, with a sound so majestic and grandiose that it could only be the work of the gods themselves. Led by the manifestation of extreme trumpet-chaos in battle-mode, GLORYHAMMER has been waging a never-ending fight against the forces of Zargothrax since their formation in 2010.
With their soaring hyper-melodies, multitudinous orchestra-explosions and thunderous nano-guitar riffs, they have become the undisputed champions of the power metal scene, drawing in legions of fans from across the galaxy with their epic tales of intergalactic warfare, cosmic sorcery, and heroic deeds. It has been four years since the band’s last release, but the wait is finally over for another massive onslaught of power metal greatness.
GLORYHAMMER say about the album:“Hoots! We are proud to teleport you all to as-of-yet unknown mountaintops of extreme-trumpet-confoundry with this new opus! Several orchestras were maimed during the production process, which we think reflects adequately in the hyper-sonic nano-recordings we have inscribed on disc for you to peruse. Many battles await!”
