Okay, so people have told me to check out Gloryhammer, and this is my first impression: Take Ninja Sex Party, remove the sex jokes, add some metal, and you get Gloryhammer. (this is not a bad thing)
What I love about this band is that they have fully embraced the cheesy nature that power metal can have and made amazing music to go with the cheesy concepts. I do not actually consider them a parody band as they are clearly fully committed to the concepts contained within their albums and have committed to making amazing music about said concepts while clearly having a lot of fun while doing so. I feel that a parody band would come off as more insincere than these guys as a parody band by nature is doing an exaggerated caricature the genre while Gloryhammer is fully committed to said genre. So do people agree or disagree? Either is fine but if you disagree please do so respectfully and do not bash me for my opinions.
Maybe it'd be more accurate to describe what these guys do as a burlesque of power metal, rather than an explicit parody. It's intended to elicit some degree of joy from mockery, but it's ultimately loving. Gloryhammer is to power metal as One Punch Man is to the superhero genre.
Gloryhammer is ridiculous, but definitely genuine. It's just the aesthetic is so different to the usual basic fantasy/knighthood/etc concepts. It's like a retro sci-fantasy aesthetic and imho it feels really fresh and wonderful
Agreed! There'a difference between _love_ for "over-the-top" and _mockery_ of "over-the-top". Also, 2:35 has a _wonderful_ 20-second *Bal-Sagoth* tribute, it's almost like directly lifted from from a Bal-Sagoth album that never got made :)
The first rule of making a good parody is that you have to make a good version of whatever it is that you're parodying. It's why Shaun of the Dead is amazing and Scary Movie sucks.
I have just watched Green Lantern Iron Man McAwesomeSunglasses fight an army of goblins and their evil wizard leader on an asteroid of ice hurtling though space. My life is now complete.

+Andriy Yarych It's even more ironic when you listen to the Rhapsody songs which were supposedly mixed with high quality headphones in mind and notice how they sound worse mix wise (in addition to music wise) than the band making fun of them. Add to this the overly serious demeanor of those bands in general and it becomes easier to take Gloryhammer seriously than them. It's kinda sad.

This album and the one that came before it actually follow a concise story and I would love to see them both made into epic fantasy movies that are also musicals using the songs from the albums.
Hell im becoming a filmmaker to make fantasy and sci fi movies and these would be fantasy/sci-fi blend movies. I'm going to do it. These albums will be made into movies.
I remember seeing an interview where Chris Bowes(zargothrax) said he had 21 albums planned for Gloryhammer, 3 saga's of 7, So if he keeps his word we can expect another 5 albums of Angus McFife
I like how this band was made by a group of already established metal artists who just decided to have a fun side project that fans were so enamored with that it became it's own thing
pretty sure the singer wasn't metal artist before, wasn't he? he mentioned that zargothrax asked him if he wanted to be their singer (having seen a presentation video of his skillz), and the first text is about the unicorn invasion of dundee, so he joined :D
@@johnuferbach9166 Tommy auditioned for Dragonforce, that's how Chris found him. Don't know if he's been in other bands before but he was a metalhead at least
Funny you mention Conan. One of the characters in this album is basically Arnold Schwarzenegger if he actually *was* both Conan and the Terminator in real life. The Hollywood Hootsman was a barbarian who conquered California a thousand years before the time the album takes place, became king, also became a successful actor, and a cyborg powered by a neutron star.
How am I only discovering these guys now? Their songs are pretty much the LARP games my neighborhood friends and I used to play as kids. They would get more and more bizarrely epic as the year went on. We never fought zombie unicorns, or sorcerer's on the moon though. Instead we fought Zombie Jocks at the North Pole, had to lay siege to a trailer park to kill a Redneck Barbarian tribe. And invaded North Korea because it turned out the regime there was a front for interdimensional creatures with a base on Uranus. We never reached Gloryhammer levels of epic.
1st Viewing: That guy singing the lyrics sure does pronounce things oddly 2nd Viewing: Oh I see why, I bet he's scottish 3rd through 1000th+ Viewing: Why can't more people sing like this?
Actually Angus McFife is swiss. Hootsman (the one who checked his beard right after the escape of the ice) is from Wales, Ser Proletius (the guitarist, Hoots is bassist) is from the U.K. (sry, can't find closer), Ralathor (the drummer) is from the U.K. as well, and the evil sorcerer Zargothrax is from the caribbean... i mean, from Scotland. Yea, he's not a pirate. Not at all, he is a chaos wizard. Yep. Btw their real names are Thomas Laszlo Winkler - Vocals (Angus McFife, Crown Prince of Dundee, Heir to the Kingdom of Fife) James Cartwright - Bass (Hootsman, Barbarian Warrior of Unst) Paul Templing - Guitars (Ser Proletius, Grand Master of the Templar Knights of Crail) Ben Turk - Drums (Ralathor, the Mysterious Hermit of Cowdenbeath) Christopher Bowes - Keyboards (Zargothrax, Dark Sorcerer of Auchtermuchty - his main job is a pirate captain in the ship named Alestorm tho. :P )
"I will destroy the universe" *After a timeout in an ice cube for a thousand years to think about what he had tried to do and why it was bad* " "I will still destroy the universe. and if I can't, I will establish myself as a god in a different universe"
R0DisG0D Are you sure you want to see this album get ripped apart by a solid to light 5? Or just what Glorythony Holetano has to say about power metal? Tbh both would be pretty entertaining.
These guys are the last band I saw live before the pandemic happened. I went there with my boyfriend and my older brother. They thought I was overdressed, but all three of us turned out to be underdressed. Good times :.)
This is some real powerful "drunken" galactic "pirate" metal. You know, when you listen at Alestorm for too much time, Gloryhammer pops up next and you're like wtf is this? Then you can't stop getting high and smashing things with hammers.
When the Golden Age of Piracy comes to an end... so you become a Chaos Wizard instead. Is that really "Cosmic Infinity" coursing through your veins, or is it rum?
Honestly I thought it would be impossible to get cheesier than an invasion of undead unicorns on a Scottish town turned heart of an empire. But somehow they did.
These guys are real wizards .. I only heard two songs from the new album and I already know it's going to be my favourite one!!! Hail mighty Angus McFife!!
"Alright, we need a suit of armor for Angus XIII, but our costume budget is completely spent, and the costume designer already went home. Any ideas?" "I got my Iron Man costume from last Halloween and some green paint" "You're a goddamn genius and a lifesaver"
Usually I really don't like heavymetal, but Gloryhammer's totally over the top cheesyness with a wink, combined with just perfect execution of the genre, makes it awesome. I started finding it funny and now I really enjoy em! It's also great music to play when playing RPG's :)

Sanctus dominus
Infernus ad astra
Sanctus dominus
Infernus ad astra
Sanctus dominus
Infernus ad astra
Sanctus dominus
Infernus ad astra
Across the galaxy a new force of evil is rising
Wizards of Chaos fighting the throne of brave king of Dundee
Entwined by mystic spells, they know where the sorcerer hidden
Imprisoned in ice on the planet of knights, the powerful heroes of Crail
Eons of warfare returning
No longer peace will survive
The intergalactic great empire of Fife will die
For the king we will ride
To the dark galactic skies
To defeat the foes
When the Chaos Wizards rise
Now the universe will burn
Evil sorcerer returns
Tragic fate rages tonight
Chaos Wizards rise
Sanctus dominus
Infernus ad astra
Sanctus dominus
Infernus ad astra
Ten centuries ago brave heroes defeated the wizard
Now Chaos reigns and evil returns to the kingdom of Fife
Wizard cultists rage - on dark wings of steel they are flying
To space they must go, great terror they sow, nothing can stand in their way
The space knights of Crail are defeated
The fortress of Triton is lost
Zargothrax rises once more from his prison of frost
For the king we will ride
Through the dark galactic skies
To defeat the foes
When the Chaos Wizards rise
Now the universe will burn
Evil sorcerer returns
Tragic fate rages tonight
Chaos Wizards rise
[Spoken:]
And lo, after centuries of frozen slumber I am free once more
Cosmic infinity courses through my veins
My body is ablaze with astral charge
The galaxy shall once again tremble before the might of Zargothrax
For the king we will ride
Through the dark galactic skies
To defeat the foes
When the Chaos Wizards rise
Now the universe will burn
Evil sorcerer returns
Tragic fate rages tonight
Chaos Wizards rise

+Andriy Yarych It's even more ironic when you listen to the Rhapsody songs which were supposedly mixed with high quality headphones in mind and notice how they sound worse mix wise (in addition to music wise) than the band making fun of them. Add to this the overly serious demeanor of those bands in general and it becomes easier to take Gloryhammer seriously than them. It's kinda sad.
+Andriy Yarych why ironic? Bowes is a genious
***** Oh god, how awesome would it be to spend a day with him. :D
+damadman228 Going to disagree with you on that one mate. Dark Wings of Steel sounds great. But not as good as the stuff Luca Turulli's Rhapsody is doing.
I swear to god napalm records do all of the best bands. Like Alestorm for example
+Ian Hicks I feel like all the napalm powermetal bands are probably buddies that drink and fuck around together
Napalm really does have the best bands, especially power metal bands.
And Sabaton? They are in nuclear blast records.
DerDiktatorischeWeltherrscherYagami I was gonna say, Nuclear Blast is nothing to sneeze at either. I feel like Napalm & Nuclear Blast should merge & make the most badass record label name ever: Nuclear Napalm Records
Hammerfall has been on both!
"SANCTUS DOMINUS!
INFERNUS AD ASTRA!"
That's the Battlecry of my Space-Marine-Chapter
Yes, I can see my grey knights chanting that.
@@jamieclassen6206Translate it though, and you see it's really more of a chaos marine chant.
Since that is Christopher Bowes, that means he is now a Magic wielding Space Pirate.
yes
the new pirates of the caribian looks awesome
be honest, who the fuck dont want to be a magic wielding space pirate? :O
yes he may be a Magic wielding Space pirate but your forgetting he traveled through time so that would make him a Time travelling Magic wielding space pirate.
You all forgot he's a heavy metal pirate so it's Time travelling Magic wielding Heavy metal space pirate
this is the best thing i've seen in my life.
i'm crying right now.
Me too!
I'm crying from my special place ._.
+Tomos chappington LOL XD
tears of joy
The chorus to this song gives me goosebumps like no other song has in a loooooong time
the new green lantern movie looks great
Much better than the first.
Next time someone asks me what power metal is, I'm sending them this video
its called "intergalactic space metal" if you ask google about gloryhammer :D
just in case ;)
Christopher Bowes cannot be serious for one minute and I love it
It's the Mighty Morphin Power Metal Rangers!
Featuring The Green Iron Lantern!
space wizard giving powers to a group of people that devotedly fight the eval wisard for him > ,., >(\ wow it is a lot like mighty morphing powerranders
Kamen Rider Power Metal 😄
This album and the one that came before it actually follow a concise story and I would love to see them both made into epic fantasy movies that are also musicals using the songs from the albums.
Hell im becoming a filmmaker to make fantasy and sci fi movies and these would be fantasy/sci-fi blend movies. I'm going to do it. These albums will be made into movies.
Please do. I would love to see them.
Cole Thomas do not bet your own money to this
I remember seeing an interview where Chris Bowes(zargothrax) said he had 21 albums planned for Gloryhammer, 3 saga's of 7, So if he keeps his word we can expect another 5 albums of Angus McFife
oh like that anime with that daft punk album ?
Damn, infinity war looks great
Ok... I give up..... that´s just GLORYYYYYOUS!
You mean like the Power Quest song?
+Der Wolf With a hammer.
jnconick183 Oh Yessss
+Der Wolf you mean... gloryhammerous.
Blockio1999 You, Sir, deserve more then one +. :D
Rise of the Chaos Wizards more like Rise of my Massive Erection.
Hahahahahauha. xD
+Clubbing Seal Cub True that my friend, 25th of September will be a great day this year :D
+Clubbing Seal Cub that would be Coleus Sanctus by Powerwolf
+Ignis King best song
Jausch120 Try their new stuff, it's pretty good too.
2:35 Zargothrax really said “Ah, after ten thousand years I’m free. It’s time to conquer earth.”
This is so metal, my beard grew a beard.
My beard grew a metal beard. It can deflect small arms fire.
All these replies are great😂
Saw them yesterday for the first time with Hammerfall.
Instant fan.
Glory hammer & hammer fall? That promoter has got a hardware fetish.
Gloryhammerfall?
Stop, My Astral hammer can only get so erect!!!!
Gloryhammerfall
I like how this band was made by a group of already established metal artists who just decided to have a fun side project that fans were so enamored with that it became it's own thing
pretty sure the singer wasn't metal artist before, wasn't he? he mentioned that zargothrax asked him if he wanted to be their singer (having seen a presentation video of his skillz), and the first text is about the unicorn invasion of dundee, so he joined :D
@@johnuferbach9166 Tommy auditioned for Dragonforce, that's how Chris found him. Don't know if he's been in other bands before but he was a metalhead at least
I have absolutely no idea whats happening in this music video and IS THIS SONG ABOUT SPACE WIZARDS?!?!?!?! SO METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like it's impossible for these guys to go too ridiculous.
So what we have here is Space King Arthur, Conan the Barbarian, Skeletor, Gandalf the Grey, and the doctor from Star Trek Voyager? I'm good with it
Funny you mention Conan. One of the characters in this album is basically Arnold Schwarzenegger if he actually *was* both Conan and the Terminator in real life. The Hollywood Hootsman was a barbarian who conquered California a thousand years before the time the album takes place, became king, also became a successful actor, and a cyborg powered by a neutron star.
@@BroadwayRonMexico and now a full on god
Poor lizardman just wanted to ask for an autograph
Yosef
Is that a seraphon
That's goblin
Now they're officially the best band in space!
Yeah!
Yeah!
+Lunä I see what you did there
+Pascal Bauweraerts Jahaa! Gloryhammer ist halt der ... Hammer! *badumm-tiss* ^^
+Lunä Speshh*
8years after i discover this song and fell in love with it!
I love how Angus slides slightly on the ground just before he swings his hammer at @3:36.
This song wins the next 30 years of epic music.
How am I only discovering these guys now?
Their songs are pretty much the LARP games my neighborhood friends and I used to play as kids. They would get more and more bizarrely epic as the year went on. We never fought zombie unicorns, or sorcerer's on the moon though.
Instead we fought Zombie Jocks at the North Pole, had to lay siege to a trailer park to kill a Redneck Barbarian tribe. And invaded North Korea because it turned out the regime there was a front for interdimensional creatures with a base on Uranus.
We never reached Gloryhammer levels of epic.
1st Viewing: That guy singing the lyrics sure does pronounce things oddly
2nd Viewing: Oh I see why, I bet he's scottish
3rd through 1000th+ Viewing: Why can't more people sing like this?
Actually Angus McFife is swiss. Hootsman (the one who checked his beard right after the escape of the ice) is from Wales, Ser Proletius (the guitarist, Hoots is bassist) is from the U.K. (sry, can't find closer), Ralathor (the drummer) is from the U.K. as well, and the evil sorcerer Zargothrax is from the caribbean... i mean, from Scotland. Yea, he's not a pirate. Not at all, he is a chaos wizard. Yep. Btw their real names are
Thomas Laszlo Winkler - Vocals (Angus McFife, Crown Prince of Dundee, Heir to the Kingdom of Fife)
James Cartwright - Bass (Hootsman, Barbarian Warrior of Unst)
Paul Templing - Guitars (Ser Proletius, Grand Master of the Templar Knights of Crail)
Ben Turk - Drums (Ralathor, the Mysterious Hermit of Cowdenbeath)
Christopher Bowes - Keyboards (Zargothrax, Dark Sorcerer of Auchtermuchty - his main job is a pirate captain in the ship named Alestorm tho. :P )
Péter Ring Good to know, thanks for the exhaustive info :D
When you wanna summon Lord Zargothrax at 8 but got your band concert at 9.
"This DnD session will be a chill one. I don´t think any shenanigans will happen"
The DnD session in question:
I thought this song is about wizards getting bigger salary. I was wrong.
Vocals: Angus McFife XIII
Guitar: The Hollywood Hootsman
Bass: Proletius
Drums: Ralathor
Keyboard: Zagorthrax
OsirisLord Actually Hootsman plays bass and Proletuis plays the electric guitar
@@darthtommy4182 Crown Prince of Dundee Angus McFife XIII
but yessa, its the Hootsman on the bass and Proletius on the guitar
With Angus out of Gloryhammer, galaxy is in real danger now. Damn Zargothrax, he did it.
What?
The way he wrestles with that thing reminds me of star trek with kirk and gorn.
LMAO
I like to think it's a reference
me too!
That frontmam looks like he can become *the Master of IKEA.*
@@ThreeStoryMaze you mean he can create exit with his email right?
This is the music I will raise my children on lol. Thank you Gloryhammer 🧙♂️✊
iron latern of dundee
Well, Dundee is actually in Angus... eh forget it.
just discovered this band a month ago and i gotta say its one of the best things that ive ever heard! pure fucking orgasmic power metal
"I will destroy the universe" *After a timeout in an ice cube for a thousand years to think about what he had tried to do and why it was bad* " "I will still destroy the universe. and if I can't, I will establish myself as a god in a different universe"
Nah, ol' Z just wanted to warm up after 1000 years in frozen liquid ice. I hear it's quite cold, you know.
LOL, WHERE AM I?!
+theneedledrop Glorythony Hammertano secretly listens to power metal?
+theneedledrop Please make Cal do a power metal track.
+theneedledrop This is the true glory of Power Metal. Review this album!
R0DisG0D Are you sure you want to see this album get ripped apart by a solid to light 5? Or just what Glorythony Holetano has to say about power metal? Tbh both would be pretty entertaining.
*****
I would enjoy a review and I always love to hear people complaining about how cheesy the genre is (that's what I love however).
Looks like a bunch of videos game came together and formed a metal band, pure cheese but I dig it!
Fantastic band. Everything is fantastic. Definitely a fan
Heroic fantasy power metal mixed with 80s action movie = More fun, than you can ever imagine!
Pop music: cheap videos and bad music
Metal music: Epic videos and bad-ass music
Gloryhammer is awesome!
pop music same chords over and over again. C G Am F
HA HA true
So very true
rap music : poems.
Virgin music and chad music
These guys are the last band I saw live before the pandemic happened. I went there with my boyfriend and my older brother. They thought I was overdressed, but all three of us turned out to be underdressed. Good times :.)
This is some real powerful "drunken" galactic "pirate" metal.
You know, when you listen at Alestorm for too much time,
Gloryhammer pops up next and you're like wtf is this?
Then you can't stop getting high and smashing things with hammers.
I love how their songs are all connected. Great band. D&D campaigns should all be this epic!
I love it!
When the Golden Age of Piracy comes to an end... so you become a Chaos Wizard instead.
Is that really "Cosmic Infinity" coursing through your veins, or is it rum?
Why is all the rum gone?
The cheesiest power metal band has got even cheesier. Power Metal, IN SPACE !!
And it's glorious laddy
You never heard of Lucca Turilli then haha
Honestly I thought it would be impossible to get cheesier than an invasion of undead unicorns on a Scottish town turned heart of an empire.
But somehow they did.
Cheesy is still better than whatever you wanna call Twilight Force... But I still like them though. XD
Honestly this is cheesier, but whatever. Both bands are great!
These guys are real wizards .. I only heard two songs from the new album and I already know it's going to be my favourite one!!! Hail mighty Angus McFife!!
this is not only the classic and epic powermetal, this is like SPACE OPERA POWERMETAL i love it¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
When I hear "FOR THE KING WE WILL RIDE..." I could kick a door off its hinges..
Omg yes same, me too!!
"Alright, we need a suit of armor for Angus XIII, but our costume budget is completely spent, and the costume designer already went home. Any ideas?"
"I got my Iron Man costume from last Halloween and some green paint"
"You're a goddamn genius and a lifesaver"
I think it's so cool that they're authentic. No green screens!
WHAT
3:55 fuck this area of the Earth in particular just because
looked like it hit china!?
It looked more like Vietnam to me.
+Kigit42 lol I think you're right
Nobody likes the Philippines, anyway.
it hit japan because of those retarded weeaboos
OOO MMMYYY GOOOOOODD!
This fcking awesome :D I love it!!!!
Chris so over power :D
+Christopher Bowes Fruzsina send you mail. Gloryhammer hungary. (Flogging molly :D )
Usually I really don't like heavymetal, but Gloryhammer's totally over the top cheesyness with a wink, combined with just perfect execution of the genre, makes it awesome. I started finding it funny and now I really enjoy em! It's also great music to play when playing RPG's :)
Saw them at Bloodstock Friday and they they were EPIC
Me and my boyfriend were there too! Wasn't it amazing?? XD
I keep returning here. Damn I love this song.
They should have changed their name **Gloryjammer 40K** for this space themed album
Better than Fantastic Four
+Viborah From what I heard getting kicked in the dick is better than Fantastic Four.
So much better cgi (sad that I'm not even kidding or making a joke)
And still a better love story than Twilight.
Kind of a low bar you're setting.
White men: asian people all look the same!
Lord Zargothrax and Alestorm's singer:
Do you mean keyboard player?
@@leonidzhabin1174 yes
@@leonidzhabin1174 Chris doesnt Tour with them anymore but He still write Songs
Nirvana's Drummer and Foo Fighter's Singer:
The new Ironman looks to be taking his role pretty seriously.
the music video is still better than a DC Movie
not like that would be hard
that's a pretty low bar
It is definitely better than any MCU.
It is close if it is better than Josstice League but the bar is so low because Joss Whedon is a shitty director.
This did not age well, now that DC is pumping out better movies than the yearly PC bullshit Marvel is crapping out thanks to the woke pills Disney shoved violently down their throat.
That’s easy tho
Imagine if Peter Jackson took the lore of Gloryhammer to make a movie
Still the best 40k movie were ever getting
2:13 The most metal hug of all time.
"The intergalactic great empire of Fife will die" is a mouthful of a lyric.
the best way I can describe this band:
Dungeon master: Dude... Bards are a support class!
Angus McFife: Hold my beer...
I’d say it’s a Paladin/Bard. Since they both use Charisma as their casting stat it works well.
@@paulmahoney7619 Pallys cast from charisma? I thought all divine casters cast from wisdom?
@@Aschwartz14 A direct quote from the 5e player's handbook, bottom of page 84 and top of page 85: "Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells, since their power derives from the strength of your convictions."
How the hell can you not like this band? This is so much fun!
