Glorious as ever, Gloryhammer once again stands tall and pushes through to bring you an album worthy of your attention, Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex has it all! What’s to love most about Gloryhammer is that they go for it and put all their energy in it. The musical engine revs up to 11 and continues growing all the way through the album. Gloryhammer is technically competent, with well-timed breaks and proper use of varying vocals and riffs that hold everything together. Perhaps the songs that stand out the most on the album are The Land of Unicorns and The Fires of Ancient Cosmic Destiny, they’re headbangers with impressive crescendo’s which really help showcase the power Angus McFife XIII has as a front man. Not only that, the solos are used to enhance the tracks rather than overwhelm them and this allows for each musician to showcase their competence.

It wouldn’t be a proper review without mentioning the keyboards and fantastic rhythm section as well.  It should be said that after listening to The Fires of Ancient Cosmic Destiny you’ll absolutely want to watch Space Battleship Yamato and Babylon 5. You can tell that this band writes songs together and enjoys what they do. Everyone is riffing off each other and having the time of their life. This album stands with the best of the best from the genre and will hopefully serve to get even more fans into power metal. Finally, the Deluxe version has a symphonic version of the tracks which is perfect for any Dungeons and Dragons campaign, and amazing in its own right! Absolutely worth your time, now to play some Warcraft II.

Thank you to Napalm Records for this opportunity!
