About the Artist

Gloryhammer, hailing from the mystical land of Scotland, are masters of symphonic power metal, renowned for their elaborate lore and captivating stage presence. Formed in 2009 by keyboardist Christopher Bowes, the band has developed a rich mythology centred around the fictional world of Angus McFife, a prince destined to save the kingdom of Fife from the clutches of the evil sorcerer Zargothrax. Their albums, including "Tales from the Kingdom of Fife," "Into Epic Eternity," and "Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorv" have chronicled this epic saga with a unique blend of humour, bombast, and genuine musical prowess. The band's current lineup, featuring the formidable vocals of Sozos Michael as the new Angus McFife, alongside stalwart members like guitarist Mike Innes, bassist James Cartwright, drummer Joe Statham, and keyboardist Christopher Bowes himself, continues to deliver performances that are as musically tight as they are visually spectacular.
