Do you like guys in skin tight Goblin suits playing solos on inflatable saxophones? Then you’ll love Gloryhammer. All kidding aside though, Gloryhammer is an awesome high speed power metal band that is all about high energy and having fun. They were the perfect match for Alestorm on this tour and all in all it was a phenomenal night. These guys came out with a bang and didn’t stop until there set ended with the crowd cheering for an oncore on a support act, you know they put on a great show. If you haven’t had a chance to catch these guys live, make sure to head out and see them.

Alestorm frontman Christopher Bowes’ power metal regiment Gloryhammer made their long-awaited return today with their new single On a Quest for Aberdeen. The song is full of the band’s signature grandeur: powerful riffs, catchy choruses and massive orchestration elevate the atmosphere to epic realms. A lyric video for the song was also released today. It is published by Napalm Records.
“The new single continues the story that began with the 2022 song Fly Away. In it, the mystical figure Angus McFife V discovers interstellar travel and arrives at the ruins of the destroyed Space Dundee. A year has passed since the events of the song Space 1992. Disappointed, Angus begins his journey towards the golden fortress of Aberdeen, but finds himself trapped – in the middle of the Demonflame skies,” the band says.
On a Quest for Aberdeen sets the stage for Gloryhammer’s summer combat expeditions. The band will embark on the Dundax Ascendant Summer Tour, which will take them to festivals and clubs across Europe this summer, followed by an extensive US tour with Alestorm.
