What the Hootsforce is about? Oh, nothing, just a Submarine that rises in the sky, commanded by Ralathor, to help Angus McFife XIII bring nuclear justice upon Zargothrax and Sir Proletius.
"Bootleg avenger stuff" PEASANT, THAT IS ANGUS MCFIFE XIII, CROWN PRINCE OF FIFE Anyways, allow me to relay to you the story of Gloryhammer as told album-by-album Album 1 - Tales from the Kingdom of Fife The city of Dundee is a peaceful place, before it is suddenly attacked. Fireballs and lightning rain from the sky, and an army of goblins alongside undead unicorns storm the settlement. The townsfolk have little chance, and the princess Iona McDougall is imprisoned in the Citadel of Dundee. Once the battle is all but won, the evil wizard Zargothrax enters his new domain, riding atop an undead unicorn of war. Angus McFife, the crown prince of Fife, has fled, and has vowed to kill Zargothrax for his crimes. He travels North, to the snow-capped mountains, and retrieves the Hammer of Glory from its shrine. His next stop is the Village of Wizards, where he joins forces with the Magic Dragon. He then ventures East, to the town of Crail, and employs the help of the legendary Knights of Crail, never before bested in battle. Finally, the stage is set: on the fields of Fife, riding the skies atop the Magic Dragon, Angus McFife leads the Knights of Crail against the forces of Chaos. At the same time, from the North, the Barbarian Warrior of Unst, the Hootsman, joins forces with Angus! Together they go to the Citadel of Dundee, where Zargothrax is hiding. With the help of the hermit Ralathor, the two heroes navigate the Dwarven tunnels and do battle with the evil wizard. Zargothrax is cast into a frozen pool of liquid ice, frozen for eternity, allowing Angus McFife to hold aloft the Amulet of Justice, freeing the unicorns from their spell of undeath, and freeing Iona McDougall from her frozen prison. Album 2 - 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards A thousand years have passed since Zargothrax was imprisoned in ice. On Triton, moon of Saturn, the Space Knights of Crail watch over the evil sorcerer's prison. But woe! A Cult of Chaos Wizards attacks and wipes out these once legendary heroes! Zargothrax is freed, with the power of cosmic magic flowing through his veins! He immediately sets off, aiming for the Darkstorm Galaxy to enact his evil plans! He converses with the Goblin King, who gives Zargothrax a Crystal Key to take to the Dwarven Caverns beneath the Ancient Citadel of Dundee. Meanwhile, the descendant of the great hero, Angus McFife XIII, has heard of Zargothrax's breakout and must gather his allies. He goes to the land of Hollywood, where the Hollywood Hootsman, now an immortal cybernetic barbarian warrior, joins forces with the hero who shares the name of his old friend. The Questlords of Inverness pledge their support, and Angus reforms the Space Knights of Crail, this time under the command of a holographic reconstruction of Grandmaster Proletius, who led the Knights a thosuand years prior. Now, the stage is set: the demonic forces of Chaos battle with the forces of Justice in the skies of Mars! But in the Dwarven Caverns beneath the Citadel of Dundee, a far more sinister machination is afoot... Zargothrax begins to recite the dread incantation which will unlock the Chaos Portal to the thirteenth Hell dimension, calling forth the Elder God Kor Virliath to devour the Galaxy! As he places the Goblin King's Crystal Key onto the altar, the ancient runes begin to glow on the surface of the portal! Once again, the ancient hermit, Ralathor, seeks out our gallant heroes to warn them! It is too late to move the battle to planet Earth... so, the Hootsman makes the ultimate sacrifice. Faster than a laser bullet, he flies to Fife. He detonates his nuclear heart, powered by a neutron star, and destroys our human earth! The implosion is so powerful, it forms a dimensional tear in the galaxy, through which Zargothrax and Angus McFife XIII plunge through... Album 3 - Tales from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex Angus McFife XIII lands in the middle of a battlefield. Battle is all around, and he recognises the standards! The town of Dunkeld flies the banner of Fife, and the invading army was flying the banner of Zargothrax! But... Dunkeld is close to failure? And Zargothrax himself is leading the charge against the Forces of Justice!? Angus raised his Hammer of Glory and released a battle cry, charging intot he fray and making a beeline for the evil wizard! Zargothrax laughs and, with the ease of a God, bats away the Hammer of Glory! Angus is powerless, and must flee the battle for his own life... leaving Dunkeld to be taken over by the seemingly invincible hordes of demons and goblins. Soon, Angus learns of what has transpired. Zargothrax arrived in this time period months ago, and systematically took over the land of Fife, subjugating all of its peoples to his will. Even Ser Proletius became corrupted by the Knife of Evil, and is the Dreadlord of the Deathknights of Crail. The hero also learns of the resistance movement known as the Hootsforce, who worship the Astral Demigod of Unst. He follows the directions to Achnasheen, the Land of Unicorns, and meets with an old friend... Ralathor! Now a Sub Commander, leading the Hootsforce. Together, they devise a plan. First: Angus must re-power his Hammer of Glory, which seems to be powerless in this reality. Angus is told of an ancient riddle, which most believe to be a set of instructions to an artefact... that artefact turns out to be a Legendary Enchanted Jetpack! With the Jetpack, Angus flies into the air, and charges the Hammer of Glory with the solar power of this reality's sun. He returns to the fields of Dunfermline, where the Hootsforce have brought out their secret weapon: a flying nuclear submarine! The battle begins, the Hootsforce against the Forces of Chaos. The battle is going well for our heroes... but then the battlefield falls silent, as the Black Gates of the Forces of Crail open wide. Atop a horde of undead eagles, the grim army of the Deathknights of Crail ride out into the fray. And at the vanguard of this terrible host, rides the Grandmaster himself: Dreadlord Proletius! But the Deathknights are unable to get far before a nuclear missile is launched at them from Ralathor, and the Deathknights are vaporised, the once-heroic Proletius alongside them. But Zargothrax is too powerful! His ascension to Godhood is imminent! Everybody will be forced to bow down to him... but wait! From the heavens, comes a hero... the mighty Hootsman! When Angus McFife XIII had chased Zargothrax through the Terrorvortex, he had sensed a third presence... but had not thought it possible! The Hootsman had ascended to Godhood himself! Now, with the force of the Hammer of Glory, and the power of Hoots, Zargothrax is finally killed! ... but at a cost. As Zargothrax dissolves into liquid dust, Angus McFife XIII realises too late that he, himself, has been impaled by the Knife of Evil. He knows that he is close to being corrupted, just like Ser Proletius... and so he decides to make the ultimate sacrifice, for the glory of Dundee. He sacrifices himself in the raging volcanic fires of Scheihallion! And that is the story thus far. There are (I believe) 11 albums planned by this band, with the next album in the works being titled Return to the Kingdom of Fife.
After watching this I need you to react to ANY Ninja Sex Party songs. There is 6969, Release the Kraken, any of the cover songs are great and Mystic Crystal should be getting a music video soon. The lead singer also covered Kiss from a Rose beautifully
This song maybe be, IMHO, the least interesting Gloryhammer song, and it is still a banger! If you want to understand a bit more about the background story, just google The Dundaxian Codex. They are so over the top with the cheesy stuff that makes them so unique and great, specially because their musicianship is high level stuff. The internet needs more Gloryhammer reactions, please continue with them! Suggestions: Rise of the Chaos Wizards, Gloryhammer (the song), The Siege of Dunkeld, Quest for the Hammer of Glory, The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee.

yeah, they've got a whole story going on, and this song is like starting on the third Lord of the Rings Book
More like starting 80% of the way THROUGH Return of the King.
You should look at the entire lore thing that gloryhammer has going on.
It's deeper than the Mariana trench
Damn Unicorn Invasion started it all. Smh
@@gregpickett8816 tell me. Was their king named Charles? And was tasked with going to Candid Mountain for a supposed magical item only to be betrayed and have an organ harvested by his un-named companions?

@@gregpickett8816 oh! Pardon me, the mountain from the saga is named Can-Deed Mountain... I apologize for the insult on King Charles I legacy
Keyboardist is the lead singer from Alestorm.
Never heard of them before I saw them open for Alestorm in Chicago. Was instantly hooked.
What the Hootsforce is about?
Oh, nothing, just a Submarine that rises in the sky, commanded by Ralathor, to help Angus McFife XIII bring nuclear justice upon Zargothrax and Sir Proletius.
Well met, fellow Hootsman.
All their songs go together to tell a stooory.
how dare you compare the mighty Hootsforce to the avengers!

Well said fellow hootsman
cool rockin' videu...loved your reaction. thank you for a band I never heard before.
Yes please also do angus mcfife by them!
After watching this I need you to react to ANY Ninja Sex Party songs. There is 6969, Release the Kraken, any of the cover songs are great and Mystic Crystal should be getting a music video soon. The lead singer also covered Kiss from a Rose beautifully
Speaking of which, imagine seeing Ninja Sex Party covering this song
Can you please listen to Cherokee Rose and Love Me On A Back Road both songs are by Corey Smith thank you
This song maybe be, IMHO, the least interesting Gloryhammer song, and it is still a banger!
If you want to understand a bit more about the background story, just google
The Dundaxian Codex.
They are so over the top with the cheesy stuff that makes them so unique and great, specially because their musicianship is high level stuff.
The internet needs more Gloryhammer reactions, please continue with them!
Suggestions:
Rise of the Chaos Wizards, Gloryhammer (the song), The Siege of Dunkeld, Quest for the Hammer of Glory, The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee.
This song has one of my favorite drum rhythms of all their songs though.
Nobody scared of hootsforce but I'll be darned if the song ain't fun!!
