Gloryhammer Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath

Tremble, enemies of Dundee: The mighty power metal heroes GLORYHAMMER return with their fifth album, *Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath*! Scheduled for release on October 16, 2026, via Napalm Records, the album picks up directly where 2015's *Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards* left off, continuing the epic saga of the McFife dynasty. The protagonist of *Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath* is Angus McFife V, Crown Prince of Fife--last seen in the 2022 single "Fly Away." Here, he embarks on a perilous journey through space and time that will lead him to the distant future of 1993, where his destiny awaits.

Across eleven tracks, the heroic band showcases more diverse influences than ever before, without sacrificing their signature powerful choruses or instantly recognizable songwriting style. The album encompasses everything from classic power metal, thrash, and dynamic synth-rock to sweeping orchestral soundscapes. Produced by the band itself and mixed by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe), this is GLORYHAMMER as you have never heard them before.

"Ultra Portam Astralem" opens *Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath* with menacing drums and fanfares, setting the stage for the album's cinematic presentation. The source of this ominous undertone is revealed in the subsequent track, "Ultimate Sacrifice"--a rousing power metal anthem: the space kingdom of Fife has been abandoned, and Kor-Virliath is seeking a new way to seize power following Zargothrax's failed ritual. Previously released as a standalone single, "On a Quest for Aberdeen" shines in a new album version, placing the dazzling tale of the hero Angus V into a broader context. At this point in the story, peace is not yet an option: Aberdeen has been overrun by demons--as depicted in "Die with a Sword in My Hand"--and epic battles ensue. With a chorus packed with gang shouts, the track is destined to become a live favorite! "Silver Talon" bolsters the fighting spirit by introducing the galactic fleet, also visible on the album artwork against the backdrop of the Terrorvortex. Ser Proletius's legendary Space Knights of Crail join the fray; the campaigns of these elite pilots unfold amidst the impressive orchestral soundscapes of "Starfighters of Leuchars." Next, GLORYHAMMER expand the lore surrounding Zargothrax's birthplace as the battle-hardened "Warriors of Auchtermuchty" pledge their loyalty to the Emperor in an irresistibly catchy sing-along chorus. Elsewhere, majestic echoes resound through the dilapidated halls of an abandoned spaceship as Angus is led to an ally long thought lost, bringing him ever closer to the goal of "Pax Galactica." Electronic sounds usher in the high-energy "Demonic Devotion," in which the protagonist--trapped within his own mind--struggles to come to terms with the destruction, while "Hammer of Fate" heralds the future: is this the destiny that awaits us all? The saga concludes with the colossal "The Celestial Warhost of the Dundonian Empire Marches to Space Against the Dark Sorcerer: Final Assault on Battlemoon X-22"--an epic spanning nearly 13 minutes and divided into four dramatic chapters. True to GLORYHAMMER's signature style, the narrative is enriched by the voices of several legendary figures as they plunge into the deadly battle for the galaxy's future...

Will Angus and his allies prevail? Or will the galaxy plunge into demonic chaos? Join GLORYHAMMER and find out - for the eternal glory of Dundee!
