Gloryhammer - Apocalypse 1992 Lyrics

Zargothrax from the cover arts will always be the zargothrax i see. The one in the music videos isnt as good

This is so bullshit it turned into amazing.

Tears, unicorns, lost in the rain? That’s a blade runner reference if I ever heard one

ah yes 10 minutes of "okay, this is getting out of hand"

Remember kids, The cosmic rage will only drive you to an early grave.

"THEN THEY DIED"

I'm dead. This is beautiful.

that moment the chaos infestation becomes so bad you have to exterminatus holy Terra

7:45 They forget to mention that the neutron star is powered by beer, usually cheap cider. So long as they hide their alcohol reserves from the Hootsman's grave then the star will go away eventually.

I always imagine the intro scroll as an old school NES Final Fantasy scene.

5:49 I don't understand, why would a force of evil "Liberate the multiverse from slavery and fear" ?

Bad guys: liberate the multiverse from slavery and fear
Good guys: destroy planet Earth and all Dundee

I started the 2020's hearing the words "SANCTUS, DOMINUS"


glorious glory

Hootsman: I got this.
*Fucking explodes Earth*

Am i the only one who sees Medivh about to fight Hal Jordan?

More than a movie it needs an animated movie with the soundtrack on top of it. Like Interstellar 5555 was for Daft Punk album Discovery. That would be awesome and totally appropriate

I fucking love the ending referencing to the beginning of Rise of the Chaos Wizards which when combining the two titles it almost gives us the album's name , and even though that's obvious that makes this song so FUCKING GOOD OMG.

And I would also like to compliment your editing skills for this lyrics video , you've put some effort in this unlike other people would have , so thank you Fred !

Barbarian Cyborg powered by a neutron Star.

*calls DM* "Hey, I've got a character question..."

"... And you want this neutron star powered by what, exactly?"
"Well, beer, but cheap cider works the best."

How A green epic warrior Or some evil dagger

If they ever make a Gloryhammer Cinematic Universe, they should get Wind Rose to play the Dwarves.

This song needs to be played on 1.5 spped makes it better

Gloryhammer is what happens when a D&D bard starts a mezal band^^

wait who's the good guy, who am i rooting for?

I don't know what the story is, but I know it's badass.

words fail me

Honestly this is ,y favourite Gloryhammer 'boss battle' song

Hail to the Questlords of Inverness.!!! Love this band full stop.

It's funny how every single album the Hootsman has to clutch the final battle yet Angus McFife or Angus McFife XIII gets the credit despite the fact that they would have lost without him. Hail Hoots!

imagine having a d&d campaign so epic and long running that making a song thats 90% namedropping for it still ends up THIS GOOD.

The lyrics on this one is over the top, it gives so much character to it even though it's just a text

The Hootsman, saving the galaxy and letting Angus to take all the glory since 1992.

I had a spiritual experience listening to this

Where do I go to learn the full mythology of GloryHammer?

What do you mean supporting you, we’re supporting the band themselves. (Look at the description)

3:22, nice, i like the reference.

I've never thought that the person who protected us for centuries would destroy all human life

This is possibly the dumbest song I've ever heard. And it's awesome.

Peter Jackson, please, make a trilogy with Gloryhammer albums

On my left arm is epic, on my right arm is ridiculous. When I stretch my arms all the way around my back and then all the way out at the outer edge of ridiculous and epic, where my fingers touch.. That's where this band is located.

Love it!

Chaos portal

Bro eww eww eww the warp the warp 😳😳😳😡😡😡

Hootsman: "I must make this final sacrifice to save the human race!!"

*Proceeds to detonate a neutron star in his heart and supernova the very cradle of human civilization*

...shine on Gloryhammer, shine the f*** on!

*THEN THEY DIED*

Press (F) for respect to the astral dwarves of aberdeen

THEN THEY DIED

Press F for the Astral Dwarves from their mines of Aberdeen

I honestly saw the title card say Astral Dwarves and was like "seems like my type of thing."

the story is so stupid

I love it!

shame you can only like a song once

I'd like to think when the Astral Dwarves from Aberdeen go into cosmic rage (berserker mode?) that they just simply cease to be when they finish, maybe the cosmic rage finishes with the dwarves going into a small supernova (Not as big as Hoots' neutron star) but still enough to clear out a good chunk of the demon hordes. This sort of stuff keeps me up at night.

their raging essence gets infused into rock and ore, changing it. waiting to be mined, released and reborn.

The "ELDER GOD KOR VIRLIATH OF THE 18th HELL DIMENSION!" part still gives me goosbumps.

I Am Kocka I die of laughter everytime it comes up

XD We have our differences.

They don’t say 1992 the last time because 1992 is based off of the way time is measured on earth, meaning when the earth was destroyed, 1992 now has no meaning

2019: There is no planet b!
1992: Let's destroy planet Earth and all human life on it to save the galaxy.

dnd rock roll

I love the music, but I don't know who I'm supposed to hoot for. The halo guy or the larp wizard

@Ashuraman by definition if you're in complete control over your country you're a dictator. And being the head of state without being democratically elected is already pretty evil.

@Nathaniel Throop Keep in mind he was a king. Or his ancestor was at least. There is no indication on any song on any album that he was a despot or a dictator or evil in any way, shape or form. Sure the year is 1992 but it's still pretty much medieval times. Angus is the hero, that much is certain

@Ashuraman A king is literally a type of dictator, doesn't matter whether he inherited the title. He's the sole, undisputed ruler of his state, which by definition makes him a dictator.

@Nathaniel Throop Be that as it may, he is NOT evil in the slightest. You said, and i quote: "I don't know how good you can really be as the dictator of a galaxy" Being a king/dictator doesn't instantly make you evil. While the term has, throughout history, had an evil connotation, it doesn't mean than Angus is evil, he's CLEARLY not. He is a ruler, sure as he rules his own kingdom but that doesn't mean he's a dictator as we know it

​@Ashuraman the important difference between a dictator and a ruler or king is a dictator has gained control through power and force not because the people chose him. so no Nathaniel, not a dictator.

UAC and Zargothrax? Epic battle on Mars? Too much of a coincidence!

Where's our favorite space exorcist with a love of chainsaws?

gloryhammer singer look so much similar to a green lantern

this plot could be the next star wars movie ===D

I would donate money if you ever crowdfunded an actual movie based on this album. Please do it.

5:30 - Frank Klepacki, is that you? :-D

I appreciate the comparison!

@Ben Turk Thanks - both great musical work :)

Yo, why McFife dressed like a damn spy kid?

I need this image for my MtG playmat.

How...how do Astral Dwarves even look like? Or is that just how they call themselves, and they're like the most regular looking dwarves? :'D

But from Aberdeen.

Sorry for the disease!

I am a astral dwarf and i'm diggin' a hole

Diggy diggy hole

Diggy diggy wormhole

Angus: *follows Zargothrax into the wormhole "for the eternal glory of Dundee"*
Angus: *Ends up in a different reality where Dundee is an evil empire*

Angus XIII: "FML!!!!"

Well. We should not forget about the "Unicorn invasion of Dundee. " Zargothrax over took Dundee by using army of undead unicorns. This is why he also known as "The dark Lord of the Dundee" (And was able to actually access Dwarven caverns under the citadel of Dundee) so only thing changed is Dundee was bad from the start and unicorn invasion didn't happened. And makes chaos wizards... Good? (I don't really know). And why did demon war on Mars happened again? Was that a decoy of some sort. Or was is misunderstanding. Cus' leader of demon army says he will "liberate the multiverse of slavery and fear " Why would a bad guy do such a thing. Hmmm. Dat lore is to thick for me.

@Zizan

So Dundee was good initially but after Zargothrax took over it in the first album TFTKOF, it became a frozen wasteland infested with Monsters while Zargothrax pined away in his Citadel until the Forces of Justice handed him his first known defeat.

In the second album the War over the Skies of Mars was indeed a gigantic distraction while Zargo sneaked deep beneath the Citadel of Dundee's caverns while no serious force was guarding it.

This was confirmed in the plot explanation segments of dialogue in the booklet for Space 1992: ROTCW.

To the best of our knowledge the only confirmed person residing on Earth to know of the Kor-Viliath ritual aside from Zargothrax is Ralathor. This last bit is.just speculation though as the Astral Dwarves likely had an idea and, by proxy, Prince Angus XIII himself.

The Chaos Wizards believe they will "discover new world's, and conquer galaxies!" So they're selfish bastard who.just want conquest and power.

It's Zargothrax who believed his actions would "Liberate the multiverse from slavery and fear!". The dark sorcerer's philosophy being that to end all misery and pain in the multiverse he must kill everything to accomplish this grand feat. An understandable ideal, but built with a mad man's logic of 'tear down the whole building so the only way is up'.

This much was confirmed by Christopher Bowes himself on Reddit under his.username u/HyperChrisZ.

This is likely the reason he wishes to achieve Apotheosis (mortal attaining Godhood) in the third album, since in the new, comparatively primitive dimension he cannot contact his home world and gain Kor-Viliath's crystal key.

Zargo warped Alternate Dundee into his own chaotic image in the time Angus had yet to appear through the wormhole. Dundee is stated to be a beautiful and glorious place before Zargo comes along and ruins everything (again).

So yeah Chaos Wizards = Very bad as fuck haha

Zargo = Seemingly has an ideal of Peace but has destroyed the lives of potentially billions of people to achieve it through his own grievous insanity.

We need a movie!

Kirk: Welcome to the Mirror Universe. Look out for the one with the goatee.

É fascinante como é belo, tudo nesta banda é maravilhoso, o vocal, os instrumentos, a história, tudo é magnífico! HAIL ANGUS MCFIFE! Pessoas que fazem coisas incríveis assim possuem um dom inigualável e merecem todo crédito.

This must be the best power metal song of the history!




Hoots! Hoots! Hoots!

Evil sorcerer Zargothrax is wearing sunglasses...

It's in the future so it makes sense

Plus these are goggles

Astral Dwarves dead making noises....
The chorus is heard: I am a dwarf and i'm DIGGING A HOLE DIGGY DIGGY HOLE !!! I'M DIGGING A HOLE ...OUT OF ZARGOTHRAX'S ASS!!!
Zargothrax: I KILLED YOU!
Astral Dwarf King: Ohohoho ...if you meet us in battle ...you will meet your doom!!

Best song of the decade.

"Astral dwarves from Aberdeen".
Damn, I love these guys.

was this one of the endings strange saw?

It was one of the better ones

*DOOM: Gloryhammer Edition*

So, this is some epic and glorious bullshit and I love it. I've read this is a parody. Is it a parody of something in particular or power metal in general?

It definitely is a parody band, but done so faithfully that it really surpasses the silliness

It is a parody band of Power Metal(those that try to be way too serious, like Manowar), and it also is clearly based on Warhammer as a parody, there are many Warhammer references across the albums.

Rip dwarves

wtf is a hootsman

The holy king of Unst

Thanks for destroying my favourite dirt ball, Hoots...

I used to be a Hoot like you, but then i took a laser bullet to the knee.

I simply know that the dwarf king flew in spiling the most Scotish insults possible, prove me wrong

@LionDove GM Maybe because the Scottish people have the best insults in English?

@Timothy Issler I've thought all day and cannot think of a worthy retort or been able to think of better regional insults without looking them up. Your response was concise and understandable. You have defended Luka Stanjevic's point of view admirably. Have a Happy Halloween.

@LionDove GM Happy Halloween to you too.

@LionDove GM
"it's the rage, the cosmic rage of astral dwarves from Aberdeen."
Aberdeen is in Scotland. The dwarves are Scottish.

@LionDove GM Well mostly because he comes from Aberdeen, a very much Scottish city, and the unspoken law that ALL dwarves are Scottish.

Warcraft anyone? I mean the Original Warcraft. *Holds up an original copy of Warcraft 1*

Yours are by far my favorite lyric videos, are you gonna do the new album? That would be awesome!

Why do I feel like this could be the tale of a glorious homebrew 40k campaign that somehow got more fantasy mixed in

This is an entire dnd campaign in 10 minutes

this song is SUCH A FUCKING RIDE

This is the wackest storyline, and I'm glad someone came up with it. I love it.

Gloryhammer when you cant decide if you want to play D&D or warhammer40k and then decide to make Metal instead

so is aberdeen a mining town? 🤔

In brightest day, in blackest nigh...oh sorry, no idea what prompted me to do that.

I will always get shivers during the chorus, no fail.

I hope the new album can top this

Sometimes i think, Gloryhammer takes all our desires and wishes and forms a song about it in melting everything to a glubberish ball of wishes and desires, and than starts playing!


does this make any sense to anyone?!?

What's up with people saying that this is like Warhammer 40k? I just don't get it.

this is fantastic!

"...then they died!" POUR ONE OUT FOR MY HOMIES, THE ASTRAL DWARVES!

It's actually a cool twist that one of their most triumphant sounding songs is a villain song.

i swear that armor reminds me of ben 10

this ain't DnD people... this is bleeping Exalted

OR Rifts.

So powerful WH 40k vibes are coming. New Imperium of Man perhaps?

They are basically a parody of/tribute to 40k among other things

I love the sheer insanity of this song's lyrics

There is absolutely NOTHING insane about space dwarves flying at light speed with crystal laser axes into hordes of cosmic demons with unmatched rage and stubby might, nope, nothing at all
