@@richardf2205 Chris Bowes, the songwriter, made a comment on reddit about that part of the lyrics that they refer to the concealed clone beneath Dundee. Hence, Thew dawn of Double Wizard. We will know more when the album comes.
Even after listening to the full release dozens of times I have to appreciate how good Sozos’ annunciation is and Winkler’s too. We’ve gotten lucky with some of the clearest metal vocals.
Thanks a million for the upload. I might be getting carried away but I think this genuinely might be one of the best gloryhammer songs ever……I can’t stop listening it to it……I love it……Sozos is impeccable!!!!

I reacted to this as well! What the hell is he doing? I'm skeptical about this Michael Barber guy becoming keyboardist instead of Bowes; from what I can tell online, he's a guitarist. I wonder how much of this performance is playback, really.
Three years ago Chris said his favorite GH song is called "Double Wizards" (unreleased). Maybe it's this song, it has double wizard in its lyrics Edit: actually it doesn't
Maybe it's from Return to the Kingdom of Fife? The animation released for this song's music video sets up the story for that album, and it does involve two Zargothraxes.
@@danielbob2628 wasnt Five the one who wanted to reunite his kingdom and allied kingdoms back to their former strength so they can beat the Goblins ass and stumbled by accident by the wizard in ice and freed him and he tanked them then revealed he was some kind of bad dude with a grudged on the Fife clan basically and in the end the young king got betrayed by some allies and some died and he went to get a magic axe and a unicorn on celestial power and a laser eyes .... fought sirens and united the dwarves but they lost and tried to counter the dark wizard with Crail Knights but the fight was futile and lost and tried to actually go back in time and finish him but heres plot twist all his allies are alive in the other time but most of them are with the dark wizard this time like this guy knew every step Fife makes just that we found out that both the Dark Lord and Fife are actually one and the same .... and its a loop that is suppoe to be broked by the new Fife descendent his own son who was send from his time to Fifes time to stop Fife from breaking the ice ..... to end both their existences .... thats what i all gathered from the songs basically a 80' 90' RPG sci fi fantasy Movie series or Film
This song does have Double Wizard in the lyrics. It contains the line "the age of double wizard will reveal his fate" Also according to the song list thats been released, the last song in the Return to the Kingdom of Fife album is probably the new name for Double Wizard since its Maleficus Geminus (Colossus Matrix 38B - Ultimate Invocation of the Binary Thaumaturge) which is basically a fancier way of saying the exact same thing, since Binary Thaumaturge basically just means Double Wizard.
If they were willing to perform this before the album comes out, why was Fly Away the single instead of this?? That song would not be single-worthy even if Winkler sung it, but this is a banger, so why use Fly Away as the Intro to the Sozos Era of GH instead of this?
Because Fly Away was a standalone single. It wont be on the album i think. It was made way before this to have a song to showcase the new singer in a studio setting. I like both songs though. This new Song is gonna be a single and its gonna have a Video too, I guess. They did the same thing with "Rise of the Choas Wizards" and "Gloryhammer" the song aswell.
@@moordred656 if I remember correctly Christopher Bowes said that Sozos actually recorded the vocals for "Fly Away" in his home, not at an actual studio, so it will be interesting to see how the album sounds compared to that, although all things considered fly away still sounds awesome and I love it
@@danielbob2628 Actually it isn't. Return takes place in an alternate timeline created by Zargothrax's clone, who kills Angus McFife I and the rest of the group 30 years after the defeat of Zargothrax in Tales from the Kingdom of Fife.
@Templarofsteel88 He sounds a lot like Aladdin sometimes. Much more of a "boy hero" than an "epic power hero." It's still just as good though. He could make a killing on Broadway, but I'm glad he's here.
@@kneifela5154 So you just hated Gloryhammer it's whole life span or was that after whatever controversy so you retroactively gonna pretend Tom was always terrible

Slaying those who dare oppose The power of his evil desires, oh yeah!
He wields the Laserblaster Dark lord of Dundee
He's a sorcerer, nefarious And he will bring the kingdom to its knees

*extra commentary from Chris Bowes
It's not Chris Bowes on vocals. It's Sozos Michael.
@@richardf2205 duh
that's Chris' comment about the lyrics
Unless You hear that stareed part somewhere :D

@@johnthethirdsobieski6937 Oh ok
What if you
Want to just peacefully live in a field and weaving baskets
But the Prince of Fife said
Yo, dude, that's a nice place for a castle
literally the kuzco movie's beginning XD
Forge a pact with chaos and launch an undead unicorn invasion on castle.
@@ranarsa But wait 1000 years beforehand
Sounds like Emperors New Groove to me 😂🤘🏻
I like the implication that this is Zargothrax' backstory according to his cultists, given that the song is sung from their perspective.
Idk man, in "Amulet of Justice" is said that Zargothrax is "a wizard full of hate" implying that he always had a motivation for his acts.
@@caveiraogamernsirockeirao he's full of hate because they fucked his fave basket weaving spot.
@@caveiraogamernsirockeirao Id be pretty hateful if some rich prick built his castle in my field lol
This is by far the clearest version on UA-cam
Holy shit, sozos is awesome

This song is freaking EPIC
Sozos is bloody awesome live!!!
He delivers really well, I have to say, and the new song is a banger through and through
"HE weilds the laser blaster!"
Meanwhile Zargothrax reaching for a water or something not even playing
I reacted to this as well! What the hell is he doing? I'm skeptical about this Michael Barber guy becoming keyboardist instead of Bowes; from what I can tell online, he's a guitarist. I wonder how much of this performance is playback, really.
Badass show. Those stage lights are going berserk
Why does it seem like Sozos is the only dude having fun with this?
Very exciting, when will the studio version of the song be out? the album looks very promising 😁😁🤘

@@jamiesadf5829 that would make sense cause the long songs are usually the best
@@StampedeDesign no argument here
ça doit etre une dinguerie en concert ! *-*
Is Gloryhammer shifting focus from silly parody-ish powermetal into more serious territory, while Angus McSix is double-downing on the silliness?
Correct.
Considering the album's ending, they're definitely not.
If they were willing to perform this before the album comes out, why was Fly Away the single instead of this?? That song would not be single-worthy even if Winkler sung it, but this is a banger, so why use Fly Away as the Intro to the Sozos Era of GH instead of this?

Fly Away is one of my favorite songs ever.
I think Fly Away is set roughly 500 years after Return.

True, its way better
@@kneifela5154 have to disagree, he is not a bad singer but it feels more popish to me.
