The alleged safe haven is overrun by demons in this memorable track, the future is uncertain.

“I don’t always die, but when I do, it’s with a sword in my hand.”
The enemies of Dundee tremble as exalted power metal heroes GLORYHAMMER announce their long-awaited fifth album, “Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath!” Due for release on October 16, 2026, via Napalm Records, the album is a direct sequel to 2015’s “Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards”, continuing the epic saga of the McFife dynasty. “Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath” follows Angus McFife V, the Crown Prince of Fife last seen in 2022’s single “Fly Away,” as he ventures into a perilous journey across spacetime that will lead him to the distant future of 1993, where his destiny lies.
Across eleven tracks, the band of heroes draws upon a more diverse range of influences than ever before, without ever compromising on the hook-driven, memorable songwriting that they are known for. From classic power metal to thrash, high energy synth rock to vast, sweeping orchestral soundscapes and more. Produced by the band themselves and mixed by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe), this is GLORYHAMMER as you’ve never heard them before.
