About
Gloryhammer are a British power metal band founded in 2010 by keyboardist Christopher Bowes, who also fronts the pirate metal act Alestorm. The band's entire output is built around a continuous fantasy-sci-fi saga, with each member performing in costume as a recurring character. Five studio albums on Napalm Records - from the debut 'Tales from the Kingdom of Fife' (2013) to the forthcoming 'Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath' (2026) - have made them one of the most distinctive names in European power metal.
