Gloryhammer Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath CD (Digipak, 2026, Napalm Records)

Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath is the fifth studio album from Scottish symphonic power metal band Gloryhammer, released through Napalm Records on October 16, 2026. Serving as a direct sequel to 2015's Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards, the album continues the epic fantasy and science-fiction saga of the McFife dynasty. Across 11 tracks, Gloryhammer combine powerful guitar riffs, soaring vocals, energetic rhythms, orchestral arrangements and cinematic electronic elements to create an adventurous and theatrical power metal experience.

Following Angus McFife V on a journey through space and time, the album expands the band's fictional universe with tales of galactic battles, dark sorcery and the fate of the Kingdom of Fife. Tracks such as Ultimate Sacrifice, On A Quest For Aberdeen, Die With A Sword In My Hand and Starfighters Of Leuchars showcase the band's trademark combination of infectious melodies, powerful choruses and high-energy musicianship. The album also explores a wider musical range, incorporating thrash metal influences, synth-driven passages and sweeping orchestral soundscapes. The nearly 13-minute closing epic, The Celestial Warhost Of The Dundonian Empire Marches To Space Against The Dark Sorcerer: Final Assault On Battlemoon X-22, delivers a dramatic finale to the album's intergalactic storyline.

For fans of symphonic power metal, fantasy metal and melodic heavy metal, Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath offers an entertaining combination of epic storytelling, memorable choruses, energetic instrumentation and cinematic arrangements. The 2026 Digipak CD is an excellent physical edition for Gloryhammer collectors and listeners who enjoy theatrical metal, science-fiction concepts and adventurous fantasy-inspired songwriting.
