Gloryhammer are an Affectionate Parody of Power Metal, led by the vocalist of Alestorm, Chris Bowes. In this band, he originally played the keyboards and the voice of evil sorcerer Zargothraxnote until he stepped down to keep his commitments to Alestorm from interfering with Gloryhammer. They decided to do the usual Heavy Mithril Power Metal fare, but set it in Scotland so they didn't have to make up place names. The first two albums, Tales from the Kingdom of Fife and Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards have been concept albums, with the second one being the first one Recycled In Space. The third album, Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex, is a direct sequel to the second that takes place in an alternate universe. The fourth album, Return to the Kingdom of Fife, takes place in another alternate universe where the Kingdom of Fife has been destroyed and has become a nuclear wasteland.In ancient times, the evil wizard Zargothrax unleashed a wave of darkness over the glorious kingdom of Fife. However, the prince Angus McFife, a noble and true warrior with a heart of steel, survived the assault. Angus declared it his personal mission to get revenge for his kingdom, seeking out the Hammer of Glory, an ancient and powerful weapon capable of defeating even immortal beings. With the Hammer and an army of just warriors, Angus McFife defeated Zargothrax in an epic battle, freezing him in ice.One thousand years later, Angus McFife XIII carries on the proud legacy of his kin as the fair and just ruler of the galaxy. One day, Angus McFife XIII learns that Zargothrax has been freed from his prison by chaos wizards. Zargothrax attempts to summon Kor-Virliath, a god of the 18th Hell Dimension, to destroy the universe. Meanwhile, Angus McFife XIII gathers his own army, including the Hootsman, the King of California and a fearsome warrior. The two armies clash in space, but Zargothrax defeats the forces of justice. Just as Kor-Virliath is about to be summoned, the Hootsman detonates his nuclear heart, destroying the planet Earth and creating a terrorvortex wormhole. Zargothrax enters the wormhole, and Angus McFife XIII follows.Upon arriving in the space behind the wormhole, Angus McFife XIII finds that he's traveled to an alternate past where Zargothrax has conquered Dundee, reforging it into his own dark kingdom. Also, to the horror of Angus McFife XIII, the Hammer of Glory no longer has any effect on Zargothrax. Now, the valiant hero must recharge his ancient weapon and gather a force to finally defeat the dark sorcerer once and for all.Following Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex, vocalist Thomas Winkler was suddenly kicked out of the band in August 2021 following a behind-the-scenes dispute. Return to the Kingdom of Fife, features a new singer to portray Angus McFife: Sozos Michael of Planeswalker and Eons Enthroned and formerly of Helion Prime. Winkler went on to found the very similar band Angus McSix.Return to the Kingdom of Fife opens with the nuclear destruction of Dundee and death of Angus McFife I by Zargothrax's clone and now Angus McFife II must journey through the nuclear wasteland of the Imperium Dundaxia to gather his scattered allies, avenge his father and save the Kingdom of Fife once more.Current members: | |
