Dundee! Dundee!
Irax! Harfatum!
Vorpus! Telum!
Nihil! Septomin!
Dundee! Dundee!
Colossus! Matrix 38B!
Riding 'cross the terrorzone
With the blaster in his hand
An unholy quest to break the tomb
Of the frozen wizard
Slashing through the Brotherhood
The pathetic Knights of Crail
Now the secrets of the gods are mine
They will yield to me!
Far away inside the ancient citadel of Crail
I know a goblin waits for me
Through the gates now strewn with
Blood and guts and bits of brain
I know a goblin waits for me
Dark wizard, Angus comes for thee
Heroes of the wasteland
Prepare for final fight
The nuclear clone of Zargothrax
Cannot escape this night
He wields the laserblaster
Our quest may yet be doomed
Unless we seek the Robot Prince
Of Mighty Auchtertool
With eyes ablaze with crimson fire
And great boronic wings
His armor wrought from power steel
Heir of the mecha-king
Heroes charge with vengeance
Unicorns are in pursuit
But with the power of robot might
They'll answer now to Hoots
Robot Prince of Auchtertool
Over thy robot kingdom rule
Electronic lord of war
Destined to reign forever more
Robot Prince of Auchtertool
Over thy robot kingdom rule
Electronic lord of war
Destined to reign forever more
Back inside the citadel
The containment zone ahead
Override the cryogenic seals
Demonic power!
No-one left to stop me now
My progenitor arise
Now the land of Fife will kneel before
Mighty double wizard
Zargothrax!
Warning
Containment seals breached
Cryogenic stasis system overload
Liquid ice prison failure imminent
Warning
Warning
Warning
Double! Wizard!
Sorcerus! Geminus!
Diabolica Duplicatus!
Sorcerus! Geminus!
Diabolica Ultimae!
After decades of torment
Dark fortune smiles my way
My progeny hath served me well
His reward shall be death's citadel
Now, with the knife and the blaster
We'll conjoin ourselves at the brain
Powerless Prince of Fife
We'll now take your life
Let you and your kin burn in HELL!
Sorcerus! Geminus!
Diabolica Duplicatus!
Sorcerus! Geminus!
Diabolica Ultimae!
Dundee! Dundee!
Robot! Viator!
Dundee! Vortex!
Noctem! Iudicium!
At last!
By the machinations of my clone
I am free from the shackles
Of frozen slumber!
After countless aeons of scheming
Across multiple dimensions
The grand cosmic plan of Zargothrax
Will now come to fruition!
The chronological imperative
Will be eradicated...
By the power of two wizards
You shall perish!
Slaves of the armies of Angus
Warriors who yearn to be free
I will liberate you from the
Chains of your life
Your souls now belong to me
Rise as a creature of darkness
Rise as an undead machine
In the name of the Sorcerer Zargothrax
Vanquish the paleocene
And lo!
The time for reckoning is at hand!
Prince Angus, your reign ends today!
Prepare to die!
Begone, foul servants of chaos!
I swear by the blood
Of the sword in my veins
I will never be defeat!
For the Eternal Glory of Dundee!
Robot Prince of Auchtertool
Over thy robot kingdom rule
Electronic lord of war
Destined to reign forever more
Knife of evil is too great
Prince of the robots meets his fate
Auchtertool no longer fight
Killed by the wizard lord this night
Now the ultimate battle begins
Angus is fighting the sorcerous twins
There is no chance for our hero to win
Wielding the hammer of glory so high
Knife made of evil make threaten to die
Dark laser blaster shoot death in the sky
Suddenly the heavens cry
Behold, creatures of Earth!
By your foolish meddling
With the 3 artifacts of power
You have summoned forth
The Starlords of Eternity!
These weapons are not
Your playthings to be trifled with...
And so for your impudent acts
Your world shall be eradicated!
Except for you, brave prince...
Join us, for your destiny awaits beyond
The outer reaches of the galaxy!
The hammer the knife
And the blaster collide
Starlords of heaven
Return from the skies
Making the wizards
And warriors die
Only Prince Angus
Is spared from this doom
Starlords beseech him
To quest to the moon
They have revealed him
A new destiny
Far across the endless galaxy
By the Holy Flaming Hammer
Of Unholy Cosmic Frost
I will voyage 'cross the Multiverse
To fight for what was lost
From this realm of nuclear chaos
To a world beyond the stars
I will quest forever onwards, so far
I will wield the Holy Hammer of Flame
Unholy cosmic frost!
Ecce Princeps Dundonensis
Imperator Ascendit In Astra Eterna!

good god the artwork is amazing
RIP Robot Prince of Auchtertool.
He shall reign forever more in our hearts.
But wasn't the robot prince saved by the starlords?
@@measurezero99 Knife of evil was too great, Prince of the robots met his fate. Auchtertool no longer fight. killed by the Wizard Lord this night...
@@measurezero99 starlords killed everyone except Angus McFife
@@measurezero99wrong prince
@@milocrawford5506 Yeah, those damn Starlords did save the wrong prince
Starlord 1: Foolish creatures of Earth committed a sin of using our 3 ancient weapons, so we are going to wipe out everyone who did NOT touch those weapons.
Starlord 2: What about that guy that did it?
Starlord 1: He is cool, we'll spare him.
Starlord 2: i see no faults in this logic.
Guy whose friends and whole world was eradicated by said starlords: Happily goes along with them on a new quest.
You know, if the Starlords of Eternity didn't want anyone using their three artifacts of power...they shouldn't have hidden them all the same planet, and especially not within what's practically spitting distance between each other on the same island 😅
They kinda give off the vibe of not being very bright...
RIP robot prince of auchtertool, gone wayyy too soon ;-;
RIP everyone in this timeline, only Angus survived
Winged liberty prime was too awesome to exist longer than that
Zargothrax talking about how his interdimensional master plan is coming to fruition when you just know that he didn't actually plan most of it.
Given Zargothrax's declaration that he was freeing the slaves of Angus by claiming their souls as his own undead minions, I am not _entirely_ sure Zargothrax is sane. And I don't just mean, "You madman; you're a psychopath," I mean, his understanding of reality may be cracked enough that he can hold inconsistencies in his head without critically analyzing them.
@@segevstormlord3713I mean, he literally just split reality apart, do you _really_ think he would remain sane after that?
@@Smelly556The whole 'Knife of Evil' stabbed directly into his brain might have something to do with it, too.
@@ornu01 That's Dreadlord Proletius who got deleted by Ralathor via Missiles of Nuclear of Justice. So his sanity is rather incinerated, but then it might not be cause this album is set far ahead in the distant past...?
Yeah he really gives off the vibe of hyping up his grand evil scheme while gloating about how the heroes played directly into his hand...all while in his head he's sarcastically saying "oh yeah I *totally* meant to do all that, mhm, yessir, totally no completely random coincidences here, nope, definitely didn't happen by sheer luck"
My brain keeps hurting itself trying to tie this epic nonsense into a coherent narrative.
>zargothrax gets his homeland destroyed by the kingdom of fife.
>he makes a pact with the darkness and knows about the dark profecy of anstruther.
>He kills the unicorns the revives them as undead then attacks dundee, he also imprisons the princess of dundee in ice.
> Angus Mcfife goes on a quest and obtains the hammer of glory, he defeats zargothrax, saves everybody and zargothrax gets frozen on ice for hundreds of years.
>in the year 1992, The kingdom of fife is now an intergalactic empire.
> the chaos wizards rise and free zargothrax
>zargothrax does shenanigans and almost destroys the universe.
>the hootsman sacrifices himself to blow up up earth and stop zargothrax.
>the explosion tears a dimensional rift in space, in wich zargothrax enters and escapes to another reality
>Angus Mcfife XIII follows him and ends up in an alternate reality.
>in this reality zargothrax, who arrived in a different period in time, already controlled everything. Also in this dimension the hootsman is a god.
> Angus and the God Hootsman team up and kill zargothrax, but Angus also dies, for he was impaled by the knife of evil.
> in an alternate reality, zargothrax is still imprisoned in ice below de castle of dundee. His clone wakes up, and wielding the laserblaster he nukes dundee. And frees zargothrax
>Zargothrax almost wins, but the starlords intervene and they kill him.
>Angus is now an interalactic warrior of justice who fights for peace in multiple universes.
God, what I would give for this song to get the treatment Keeper of the Celestial Flame got... Alex Henderson's animation paired with this would be absolutely unbelievable.
They stole victory from Zargothrax using a literal Deus Ex Machina
For the third time too
jesse pinkman: "he can't keep getting away with it!"
chris: "mwahahahah"
First time he just tripped and fell into liquid ice, the second time he got the Hootsman blowing up Earth to stop him and the third time was not so much a Deux Ex Machina but a Deus Ex Hoots....as in, literally Hootsman as a god descending to kick his ass.
I thought that as well
The way i see it, he brought it upon himself. When he shot the vorpal lazer blaster trough the skies, it ripped reality apart and struck the heavens in half, creating a vortex and souls started to rain from the firmament. That is what brought the starlords of eternity to awaken and erradicate this plane or reality. Hence why they saved brave prince Angus. Or meaby im just overthinking this 😅
WE STAN THE ROBOT PRINCE OF AUCHTERTOOL 💪💪🔥
All Hail his Robot Kingdom rule
@@hoehere_Gewalt All kneel for the electronic lord of war
So are we gonna ignore that Zargothrax won?
Oh sure, he and the rest of the unvierse was annihilated, but that was basically his plan in Album 2 when he tried to summon Kor-Viliath. His goal has always been to destroy the universe and Dundee, and by forcing the Starlords' hands, he accomplished that goal
i promise this wasnt part of his plan. you could argue he won because dundee got wiped out but i think more than anything he wanted to regain control, not full destruction. remember, technically this is album 1 zargy (he got thawed from the frozen liquid ice in this song) so his plans werent quite as large-scale as album 2 and beyond
@@hiphopfrogs5085 The clone is technically fully imbued with Terrorvortex Zargothrax, so technically speaking it’s all the Zargothraxes together
@@CrusadiaIX yeah thats true, but its clear that the clone zargothrax is simply the right hand man. hes referred to as the "progeny" a few times and, despite them "conjoining themselves at the brain" before the final fight, its clear that their goal is more bent on revenge for the transgressions against zargy in his basket-weaving days (as established in KoTCF) as the line "let you and your kin burn in hell" would suggest. its not about destroying dundee, its just about regaining his homeland from the dundax lineage
ALSO if you want to get granular about it, zargothrax ALREADY destroyed dundee in HFHoUCF after his clone nuked the place and led into Imperium Dundaxia, so if that was his goal he already succeeded once
He probably wanted to live through it though
honestly i like the idea of the robot prince of auchtertool almost soloing both zargothraxes
Zargothrax cheated with the Knife of Evil!
I believe that the Starlords of Eternity have recruited Angus to play 'Where's Zargy?' across the multiverse and killing him to eternal death.
Look like they had enough, but still dont give much thoughts about it, so they just got someone to deal with it for them with power-up to at least not die too soon.
Must have listen to this track at least 50 times already, i still have chills when it gets to the part of "the hammer the knife and the blaster collide ..." This whole album is legendary. My favorite Gloryhammer album!
The holy flaming hammer for me there’s actual emotions in that and god 😭😭😭
me too is like consume adrenaline power metal to my ears
"Back inside the citadel" does it for me. That part absolutely slaps.
It's so Gloryhammer, and it's AWESOME. One might even say... _glorious?_
_Wielding the Hammer of Glory so high!_
_Knife made of Evil makes ready to die!_
_Dark Laser Blaster shoots death in the sky!_
_SUDDENLY THE HEAVENS CRY!!!!!_
Sozos absolutely slays in this song. He's basically jekyll and hyde-ing the lyrics. You can tell apart which character he is singing at which time and it's awesome.
DOUBLE WIZARD is the best part of this song!
Although I also really like the refrain about the Robot prince. Absolute Earwig
DOUBLE! WIZARD! is the best part of the album
I don't know the "Slaves of the armies of Angus" bit is definitely hitting in the same weight class.
love how the robot prince of Auchtertool is the boba fett of fans! (we all love him)
I love how the outro of the song has the leitmotif of the song Angus McFife from the first album.
They have that in the other albums intro tracks too!
That's what it was! I was thinking it sounded like Goblin King of the Darkstorm Galaxy
@@milocrawford5506Damn me too
At 8:14 I know it's written "Prepare to die" but the delivery makes it seem to me like it's "Prepare TWO die" as it's being said by double wizard.
Poor Knights of Crail. I’d like to believe they had a chance if not for the Vorpal Laserblaster.
Also the double wizard part gets me everytime. It’s so epic!
I think it's safe to assume that yeah, without one of the artifacts Zargothrax can't take on the knights. At least not without nuking the fortress or something. Why else would he wait so long to attack Crail?
If Zargi could have gotten through them without the laser blaster he would have, so you're right. But the really sad part is the like about them is "slashing through the brotherhood" so that means Zargothrax clone Alpha one didn't let them just die from the laser blasts, he shot them and then chopped them. He's a prick.
@@ThePhantomTomo Yeah that tracks
@@britishaceattorney also I was just listening to this album again a couple of days ago, if you listen to the lyrics of the Brotherhood Of Crail song, the entire thing is basically all about how they are repelling the efforts of Zargothrax Clone Alpha One to get into their citadel.
True. Though…let us also consider that in the official music video for the first song of this album…the Clone Alpha One was in Dundee. When the bomb went off, he was in Dundee. When a nuke blew up, he was there, and then just kinda waltzed out. Either the Knights are packing that PREMIUM ass-whoop cans, or Zargothrax wanted to REALLY be a dick about all of this.
Both track, in Ernest.
Rest in peace Robot Prince of Auchtertool, the greatest hero of us all, tragicallly cut down before his time.... We will never forget his sacrifice....
Same for me😢
Okay, the knife of Evil has a kill setting. Good to know
"Setting KoE from Corrupt to KILL!"
i like to think that the robot prince of auchtertool was simply such a powerful force for good that the evilness just exploded him instead. incorruptible till the very end
@@sirpuffball6366I’m pretty sure he could not be corrupted by the knife of evil due to him not being organic, not having a heart to corrupt.
I legitimately love this. It's like a blend of Old Rhapsody, New Rhapsody, Opera Magna with a sprinkle of Twilight Force
Fellow rhapsody enjoyer
For the king, for the land, for the mountain
For the green valleys where dragons fly
Mix of old Rhapsody and new Rhapsody. I love that description
@@mitchnewara3229 For the glory to win the black lord
@@menopriezvisko94I will search for the emerald sword!
It's my headcannon that the starlords *where* going to choose the robot prince but since he was corrupted by the knife of evil they had to choose angus mcfife, mostly because in the lyrics they just say ''Brave Prince'' Not exactly addressing mcfife
Note: the robot prince was never corrupted, he does not have heart to corrupt. But the zargothrax’es just shot and stabbed him respectively.
And he was “destined to reign forevermore” - it all fits!!!
The combined Might of four legendary heroes, an ultimate weapon, the barrier between dimensions, and even Time itself failed to stop Zargothrax's vengeance.
It will take more than the Starlords to stop him yet
And he will return with a vengeance towards Angus and the Starlords. I wouldn't be surprised if on the next album he comes back and pulls a Doctor Doom moment by absorbing the Starlords' cosmic powers.
@@yourlocalyautjawarrior1887 I wonder how Angus will react to everyone and everything he has ever known, good or bad, just being wiped from existence as well.
To paraphrase: A villain can not be defeated simply by making them die.
I actually have a theory that..Angus Mcfife is gonna go and find Angus McSix...Thomas leaving GloryHammer and making a new band I think is an ingenious plan..of you listen to thr McSix album..so many references so it's an alternate (again) timeline...juat as we had double wizards...we will have double Angus..even in Keeper of the Celestial Flame ..they "power sword"..which I think is a nod to Sixcalibur
@@jaydee758fricking geneous
“By the bloody of the sword in my veins, I will never be defeat!” Wise words indeed lmao I love that these are the official lyrics too
Also "kinfe made of evil make theraten to die"
I don't get why everybody memes about the line. It's by far one of the more reasonable and less cheesy lines of Gloryhammer. It's a metaphor of Angus being born to fight.
@@NotTheCIA1961cuz it sounds like he’s talking about there being swords in his veins but it means the “blood of the sword, in my veins”
@@lilithbeanthe blood of the sword, is flowing through his veins. The comma is important
For the eternal glory of Dundéééeee 🎵
The way all these songs are set up, it feels like a video game. I love it, though. It sucks that the Robot Prince was killed but he is pretty cool
Just like the astral dwarves. RIP
@@allmight9840 just like the Robot Prince, they went down fighting. RIP
7:08 this part is insanely good
Chronological Imperative... Ah crap, have we been dealing with a time loop all this time?
No
This is Universe Matrix 38B. This is an off branch universe of the Original Timeline, and was caused by the Terrorvortex Dimension being set in 992 thus enabling time travel
Epic war is fight and Angus will never be defeat!
Song intro is like the cutscene of a final boss, then it becomes the boss fight when the song itself begins. 🗿
Holy flaming hammer playing at the end is such a fucking power move, good lord.
Robooooooot Priiiiince 🤖⚔
This may be the best power metal song ever created, only time will tell...
4:33 This here, I think is what we’re seeing at the end of Keeper of the Celestial Flame’s music video
Yes the clone succeeds at freeing the original xargothrax
somehow I feel like not even stargods can make sure the evil wizard zargothreax can be erased. he has tendency to evade death.
The key characters in this song are Angus, Zargothrax and the Robot Prince - if I'm not mistaken. Very powerful, chic, epic, fantastic, interesting song! I really like the lyrics of this song, it's just brilliant (in a good way). Very beautiful picture (perfect for this song). The artist who painted this picture is a real handsome man. Thanks for sharing this!
The artist who painted this has proved himself very handsome INDEED.
That artist is me! Thank you ;)
@@matildeyamamoto9363 the artwork is awesome 👍👍
by far my favorite song in the album. man when Zarg gets released.....
ps: who the hell sings the part that starts with "Slaves of the armies of Angus....". is that still Sozos?
More like the voice of Sozos (well, I have a feeling that he played the role of some other character, or maybe not)
@@GobbyMetal i meant it sounded deeper and i guess...hoarser..that then rest of the album. it kind of reminded me of dave mustaine somehow
@@2st486 Throughout this song, his voice sounds different so many times (which proves that he is an amazing vocalist). I misunderstood you a little
@@GobbyMetal and i didnt realize how good he is
I think it was Sozos' zargothrax voice. Most of the time he is singing from angus' POV so when the zarg is winning it switches to his POV for that part of the song. I love it very much
This one is really good, though I did enjoyed wholeheartly the new album I think this is in my top 3 (might change havent heard it that many times yet) I love this one.
the only part i dont like is afer the "heavens cry". that whole bit with the interdimensional beings feels like Strapping Young Lad on shrooms XD
Personally, i think this is great, though it has a slow start, and the pretty frustrating Deus Ex Machina
@@andreasottohansen7338 agreed, the song really kicks in only when zarg is released and it keeps kicking until the freaking starlords arrive. it just feels weird after that.
its definitely in my top 4
Imagine being Zargothrax, your about to finally accomplish your goal, and a god just fucking kills you for it.
aw man, I repepber listening to this at a live concert, I loved the part where in order to stay true to the lore they had to nuke the entire audience to simulate the awakening of the clone of zargothrax.
If, as it appears, the Starlords willfully destroyed the Earth and all who dwelt there, but CHOSE to save Angus, and treat this as a victory for the survival of the kingdom, I get a lot of Emperor Cartagia vibes, implying (as is the theme from Zargothrax's own song) that maybe the real villains are the McFifes.
That said, there is another interpretation I can see: the Starlords were able _only_ to save McFife, arriving too late when they see the three weapons colliding and unable to stop the cataclysm. Or, perhaps, only able to contain it to prevent "total universal annihilation" (which was what Kor-Veliath allegedly promised). In that event, it was the Double Wizards and McFife together doing it, and Angus was seen as not-to-blame because he was just trying to stop the plans of the demon-sorcerer. Still, it seems abrupt, and they don't sound like good guys despite siding with the one good guy they let survive.
I do agree, though, with others in this thread: I doubt we've seen the last of multiversal Zargothrax.
I actually really like that theory... The Starlords didn't destroy the universe, The Three Artifacts of Power did. They weren't talking about how THEY would punish them, but what they had already done.
I love getting lost in the music and lyrics of gloryhammer, maybe it’s because I’m from Dundee 😊😊😊
How is it in the nuclear ruins?
@@sanemero3940😂😂😂😂
Angus McFife's quest has only just begun! Glory to Dundee and to the Kingdom of Fife!
Needing an animated series asap
The only thing not really clear to me is why the Hootsman and Ser Proletius were suddenly missing. I know that Ralathor went through a tear in the time/space continuum after Sword Lord of the Goblin Horde to tell Angus from the past about the path to the Laser Blaster of Pittenweem. I suppose the others died, but it wouldve been cooler if they joined the final battle
Well, Chris said that Hootsmab was just "hooting around during the battle" as he said on reddit. And proletius... idk
Proletius probably was either fighting nuclear goblins or was injured trying to stop the Clone from freeing the original Zargothrax, the song doesnt says that he died so he probably wasnt killed until the Starlords kaboomed the world
Hootsman might of survived the starlords's big kaboom since he's a cyborg and he survived blowing up the world before plus a valiant warrior so he could have also been secretly spared.
They are missing to give a spotlight to the greatest minor character tm, Robot Prince, to be a total jobber to double wizards.
Hoots has some connection to the Robot Prince. Either becomes or catches a ride with. 'they'll answer now to Hoots'. (Also apparently being a cyborg powered by a neutron star)
As for proletius (I know I misspelled that), probably fighting goblins or got turned into an undead machine.
I know They like their super long ending songs, but I really feel this should have been two songs, separated when the tempo slows and it transitions into the alarms in the cryo chamber. That way, the Robot Prince would be introduced an entire song before he was killed, and most importantly the song would start with DOUBLE! WIZARD!
Double...Wizard!
3:19, need I say more?
That riff reminds me of Finntroll.
Everybody still saying Sozos Michael doesnt fit really has no Idea what they're missing and is absolutely wrong.
Honestly I think the reason he works so well as Angus is that he sounds distinct from Thomas, but the overall sound is still undeniably gloryhammer
@@JazzKazoo0930 Plus, canonically, there's multiple Angus's.
McFife I, II(Sozos), V and XIII.
McFife II is the one Sozos plays while Wrinkler was the previous McFife's. Which, Angus McFife XIII, depending on if you count his seperate project, transcends as Angus McSix after he sacrificed himself in the 3rd Album in the Terrorvortex Universe.
@@IgnarHusky V is also Sozos
He's really great, but what I miss is how dirty and gravelly Thomas's voice can get. Not to say he's bad, but Sozos's voice sounds really "clean" compared to the previous iteration
All in all, this album is a blast.
See, I'm not one for Metal as it's traditionally thought of. The "Metal Growl" doesn't appeal to me, the sound is a bit too...IDK how to describe...dirty? Scrape-y? And most times, I find nothing but demon-themed or occult-themed groups; and that gets old fast.
But _GLORYHAMMER._ Now _that's_ what I'm talkin' about! Clean yet powerful instrumentals, vocals that don't make my ears bleed, tactful usage of _slightly_ more growl-y vocals (for characters like The Hootsman), and entire albums that feel like an epic story experience from a movie or book or video game! I want to find more of _THIS._ Where can I find other bands as badass as Gloryhammer? It scratches _all_ the tingle-spots in my brain, and I need more to satisfy it between album releases!
You can search on the site "The Metal Archives" on it you can find a lot of things (to listen to)
I know that exactly what you mean. Nothing beats gloryhammer imo but some obvious bands would be Wind Rose, Alestorm (duh), Twilight Force, Angus McSix (literally gloryhammer singer), or if you really want to get silly: Nanowar of steel, Rumahoy.
Ten months late, but the genre you're after is power metal. Sabaton, Blind Guardian, Kamelot, HammerFall etc etc.
Strong Robot Prince! But stronger Double Wizard.
Knife too great
@@JazzKazoo0930 Sad but true.
Auchter
1 - muchty
2 - tool
i choose number 2
Also, taking this a bit from the animated video for Keeper of the Celestial Flame, but between the references to "evil lies in his brain" and the way he cuts his hand to make his pact that turns him into a dark sorcerer, do you suppose Zargothrax himself is a 'victim' of the Knife of Evil? (Not excusing him; he clearly used it on purpose, if so. But I wonder if there's some way to turn him on himself if a cleansed version sees what he actually will become.)
Is that the knife he used? Based on the diagrams of the Knife of Evil, it seems to me that the knife featured in the video, that was just a regular Knife. I'm pretty sure he finds the Knife of Evil post-evil transformation.
@@britishaceattorney Ah, I had not seen (or at least not recognized) any diagrams of the knife of evil, so I will take your word for it that the one in the video for the Celestial Flame of Abernathy doesn't match up. It was a weak theory to begin with; it's not like it makes much difference, since willingly using it on yourself obviates any exculpatory power being magically turned evil by its use on you might give you.
What mostly made me think of it was how "Evil lies in his brain" was used to describe Zargothrax, and something about evil taking root in Proletius's brain _due to_ the Knife of Evil being a similar-sounding situation.
And then there's the sheer madness of Zargothrax's beliefs that he's "freeing" people by making them his undead slaves. O_o Or by obliterating an entire universe in which they dwell (or at least consigning it to the 18th hell dimension by unleashing Kor-Veliath on it).
But he could just be mad, no magical cause needed.
I would love to hear more about what exactly happened that the basket-weaving peasant's home was destroyed by the foundation of Fife, or Dundee, or whatever it was that the first McFife prince built.
from 8:08 till the end really be my favourit part of the whole song i just get the chills
Well. I can't say that I enjoy the idea of a literal deus ex machina using 'Power word: Kill' on everyone being what leads to zargothrax's (final?) defeat. Feels like a bit of an anti-climax after all we've been through.
album 2 and 3 also kind of had that with the hootsman but I'm a lot more willing to give that a pass because it's the motherfucking hootsman.
It is probably that the world was destroyed by the Artifacts colliding, and the Starlords had to eradicate the timeline so that it doesn't cause multiversal rifts
*I personally believe The Mecha-King was named 'Evermore', thus making The Robot Prince of Auchtertool the one who reigns **_For_** Evermore, as The King's Heir.*
Why this song is so silly yet so amazing?!
Gloryhammer could be canon in wh40k
Bet a video based on this would be crazy!
So, after having listened to it for a while now, the outright hate for how the final battle is resolved in this song is still there.
The song is great right up until then, with the Starlords complaining about people messing with the stuff they left, and then just murdering everyone but Angus because they messed up.
At least the callback to "holy flaming hammer of unholy cosmic frost" is also great
I agree. I would have preferred it if the arrogant starlords found that they needed to team up with the heroes just to barely beat the double wizards.
Dude we need the Robot Prince of Aurchertool to return.
The best piece of metal music I ever heard so far.
Did- did they just rebooted the story?
It's more like another timeline
@@sir.dovahkiinpl8587 No I'm aware that it's another timeline because of the 3rd album, I'm asking if they ended the song by saying "Hey, we're going to reboot everything." Because they killed all the characters (except Angus), destroyed the weapons, and pretty much just left the earth to go somewhere else.
@@VernonMcWilliams The entire Gloryhammer lore timeline is posted by Chris Bowes on the Gloryhammer subreddit. The alternate timeline of the 4th album (38B) is erased except for Angus McFife II and Ralathor. Ralathor 38B sneaked back in time a bit after "Sword Lord of the Goblin Horde" after learning the way through the tunnel of the dwarves to tell the secret to the original Angus McFife I in "The Epic Rage of Furious Thunder".
The main timeline without the Zargothrax clone being summoned still stands, with Angus McFife V from "Fly Away" being destined to be sent to 1993, i.e. after the events of Apocalypse 1992.
@@WillJp11 good lord thank you i was losing my mind XD
Nah, just erased 4th album timeline, while keeping Angus the 2nd alive for another quest.
"Fly Away" now contextualized?
Fly Away is about Angus McFife V, unrelated to this album which tells the story of Angus McFife II. Angus McFife V's story will continue in the future as he will be sent to 1993, but not in the next album, which will continue the story of Angus McFife II.
prepare for trouble....and make it double
I like the parts from another their songs but with different lyrics
There's no chance for our hero TWIN!
My only question is Where the heck is the story going to go from here. How many more zargothraxes must be fight?
Casino Dundee, obviously 🫡
Hm, didn't Angus McSIX became a Starlord in the end of his new adventure? Does that make him the new boss of Angus McFife II now? 😂
Interesting ✨🤘
Omg lore connction! :O
It all makes sense now...
It's possible that Angus McFife is a Starlord as well.
Love the art
Very mysterious indeed, leaving this here for anyone to translate, seems like morse code. 11:59
This whole song feels like the perfect DND campaign.
Sooooo the Starlords spare Angus and reveal his a New destiny, but they kill everyone on earth including Zargothrax and the friends of Angus, that make them the bad guys?
evrybody in the terrorvortex is an asshole. i think that was quite estabilished XD
I can’t stop saying that Christopher Bowes is a genius and an amazing master of writing such stories
@@2st486 This album doesnt take place in the terror vortex, but the transmission that was sent from the terrorzone caused the multiverse to fracture and create universe 38B where this all takes place. So in one hand a universe that shouldnt have really existed to begin with is gone
I am curious to see what tehy do with the 5th album with just angus, whether new characters come or he finds a different universes of those characters or what
@@not_grif Chris said album 5 will continue on from Album 2/Fly Away, set in 1993 in the prime timeline with a temporally displaced Angus McFife V
Edit: He said this in a dream and my sleep deprived brain confused this for reality whups
@@pixelsthered Where did you read this? I only ask because I recall seeing Chris state in the GH subreddit that the next album is Angus II again.
Although if angus is placed in the main timeline with Angus V then I would love to see a dun dun DOUBLE dun dun ANGUS
I dislike the starlords for also pwning the Hootsman.
Don't worry. He's the Hootsman. He'll be back.
I wont be surprised if he is just fine and dont get why everyone is just dead.
Is it just me or does anyone else find the use of latin really cool
That's more or less the point of Latin as used by Gloryhammer! In one of their previous songs one of the lines literally translates to "Singing nonsense in Latin", and it *works.*
@@FonVegen aye
3:19
Voyage across the multiverse.... what if they join Angus McSix?
So Zargothrax is gone this soon after his revival? What was the rush to kill him off like this?
They made him too OP.
@@sherbase
the dude keeps getting killed and revived but this time there was no build up for a future album, I suppose they just want to make a new villain for the next one.
@@fabiomgm1293 They'll probably just do another time hop back to the past and build from there again. Ralathor's escape seems to hint at that.
The casino Dundee references may be significant now
С каждой новой попыткой Зарготракс все ближе к своей победе. Это начинает пугать.
ís there some kind of Morse code at the end or am i just paranoid
You are not the only one who noticed this, so you are not paranoid
It looks like a Morse code, but every attempt to translate it ended in gibberish.
@@KazeKoichiknowing Gloryhammer, it probably is just gibberish in more code for the funnies
Honestly, the arrival of the Starlords of the Galaxy seems so anticlimactic.
This was the beginning of the final battle, and the boom "gods arrive, zap everything out of existence except one of the guys that meddled with the artifacts (for some reason?), the end".
The end could have been somewhat improved if Angus was saved by the hammer, unbeknownst to the starlords, and then the next album would be him trying to get revenge for his homeland, but even then there would still be a deus ex machina in it...
Only album that ended with Angus and Co winning without some sort of Deus Ex Machina showing up to save the day in the final hour is the first one.
And, well, why is that bad anyway? Gloryhammer's story is primarily made for humor, so story ending in the supidest way possible is quite on brand for them.
@@DrNiradino While that's true, this time, it is far more massive than usual, at least to me.
Usually, it's the Hootsman that acts as the deity in the Deus Ex Machina. Here, it's more anticlimactic than anything. It pops the bubble instead of letting it burst.
@@Para0234the starlords are all just the hootsman in different wigs, obviously
@@Para0234 Plus Zargothrax is fully dead unlike the other albums, unless they bring him back despite the fact he is fodder in the scaling now.
@@sherbase I saw a few days ago that Gloryhammer revealed the timeline.
This album happens in the "Universe 38B", which is a consequence of the time fracture caused by Zargothrax's death in the Terrorvortex.
The Starlords destroyed this Timeline except from Angus II. But the main timeline's Zargothrax stll exists frozen in ice in 1042 in the "Prime" timeline.
Interestingly, Ralathor comes from the Terrorvortex and the Ralathor of the FIRST album is the same Ralathor as in this album, while the Ralathor of the second Album is "Prime" Ralathor (AKA Terrorvortex Ralathor who came back in the main timeline).
Ye, it's confusing.
Just search "Gloryhammer Timeline" as I don't seem to be able to post links.
Kinda of a shitty ending to the album.
It's not just that the Starlords showing up is a deus ex machina but the world and everyone dies except for Angus AGAIN!
I... It's taken a long time, but... This is a Gloryhammer song I don't like.
It's for two reasons. First reason, I seem unable to really visualize any of it. I've been able to do that with basically every other Gloryhammer song.
Secondly... I personally find this to be a *terrible* ending, and it's exactly what I was afraid would happen by bringing Zargothrax back. I feel like all the previous albums were for nothing, since the whole universe has been destroyed and only Angus was allowed to live
i love the song so dang epic, ive listened to all their albums multiple times and i have to say i think this final fight song is my favorite but i love all the songs
I agree 💯%!
The funny thing, I finished this entire album in a single drive to work, made it to work right on time and this song finished just before I got outta my car. It’s a 47 minute drive between work and home.
DOUBLE WIZARD
SORCERUS GEMINUS, DIABOLICA DUPLICATUS

A melhor música do álbum!
