That song was so epic when they played it live for the first time on their last tour. And it still is! Long live Zargothrax! Long live the sorcerer supreme!

Animation is so perfect for the Gloryhammer stories. It’s exactly like I pictured it in my head. I’m also sold on Sozos, I was skeptical at first but this song absolutely rocked

This looks like such a good concept for an animated series that I would have loved as a kid. The extended plot would be that the clone of Zargothrax is far more evil than the original and Zargothrax and Angus often have to work together as an unlikely pair to stop him. Angus because he's the hero. Zargothrax because he wants to prove that he is the greater evil genius.

For real, they're doing some cool things in their new tracks. Not just a keychange at the end anymore! KEY CHANGES IN THE MIDDLE!

If I am not mistaken, this dude also animated Alestorm's P.A.R.T.Y... 😄 Amazing job. And the song is total banger, so happy Gloryhammer lives on.

I don’t know why I didn’t see this before (2 weeks ago) I’m obssesed with the song and the video and more because it inspires me to fight for my dreams and more now in a specific moment in my life HOOTS!! 🇲🇽

OK... BUT THE ANIMATION IS GORGEOUS!!!!

Feels like a 90s Cartoon Intro ❤

I got Buzz Lightyear of Star Command vibes and tbh I wouldn't mind gloryhammer taking a shot at a TV show like Metalocalypse did

"Damn, that guy built a castle next door. I better invade his kingdom with undead unicorns... In about 1000 years time"

at this point I will be almost 2000 years old, perfect moment in life to begin conquests I think.

Alex Henderson does some amazing animation for an amazing song. Thanks for releasing this!

Basket maker turns evil over land dispute and vowels to take his revenge on a guy holding hammer by using unicorns.

the fact we get double the glory these days isnt lost on me, ah, what glorious times we live in

I hope the synthwave version will release too. (3:26) Would be awesome.

The skull at the begining is a reference from Alestorm and P.A.R.T.Y i think
