I wish you could record all the old songs. Victorious Eagle Warfare and Chaos Wizards Rise would be so good I just know it

As a long time fan of Gloryhammer, I just want to say a big, warm welcome to you! You have an amazing voice, and I hope you're in it for the long run and not just for the tour. Hoots!

I will miss Thomas as Angus McFife, and I hope that Sozos gets his own character, not just Angus McFife XIV, but some of my anxieties about the replacement vocals for GloryHammer have been eased, I hope this guy has a great time and I feel like he will bring a new energy to the band

I can actually hear some of the words in the lyrics this time, whereas before I didn't notice what I was missing. I have a good feeling about this.

Had my first introduction to Gloryhammer last week, live at Norwich. Was apprehensive to hear they had a new singer, but wow! Amazing vocals and great showmanship - excited to see more from Sozos.

In case anyone wanted to know, I was at the first show with him as the new GH vocalist (Southampton). Absolutely killed it. It was an amazing show and the energy he brought was just *chef's kiss*

Just came after Gloryhammer made the announcement. As a long time fan of the band, I approve.

Well what I can say is that I was lucky to catch the last date of the tour, wasn't a Gloryhammer fan before seeing the band live, didn't even know there was a vocalist change, but honestly? After seeing some old live videos of the old singer, and having seen you live, I can say that it's been a massive improvement for the band.

Gloryhammer has been my favourite band since I discovered them in 2016. I was very sceptical for a replacement of the singer, but I actually love your voice. This can totally work. Welcome!!!

Saw you in Southampton last week, you were unbelievable!! I Loved Tom, but I couldn’t be happier with your appointment as frontman. One of the best shows I’ve had the privilege of being at, and you made it all the greater! Here’s hoping you stick around and it’s not just a one off for the tour… 🙏🤘

Mate your vocals are fucking amazing, so glad I got to see you with Gloryhammer the other week in Glasgow, keep up the amazing work!

Like everyone, I won't lie, I thought with the loss of the vocalist the Gloryhammer tale was over... But I was wrong, afterall. Angus McFiffe is the 13th. All hail Angus the 14th! HERO OF DUNDEE. You f'ing rock my guy. 🤘

When the band betrays the vocalist who has been with them for 10+years even if they hire Jesus himself, there is just no forgiveness for them. Won't support Shamehammer ever again.

It was amazing

[Verse 1:] Quest for Fife to end pain and strife In search of the enchanted engine Far and wide, I roam through Speyside Into the deepest dark dungeon There it waits, behind golden gates Sealed in a chest made of diamonds Heart pure as steel I must reveal To hold artifact in my hands [Pre-Chorus 1:] A gleam of steam surrounds the machine of might [Chorus:] And in my dreams I am flying (Woah-oh) Over Cowdenbeath Across an endless horizon (Woah-oh) Fly forever free Below me I can see the world so far away And in my dreams I am flying (Woah-oh) Flying through the Kingdom of Dundee On a jetpack made of cosmic steel [Verse 2:] Run for your life, the cave now is rife With laser trolls' sudden appearing Wizard must know where I was to go Though he sent his hordes, I'm not fearing Battle is fight with beams of black light Clashing with my mighty hammer The evil troll shoots, lacking power of hoots Never they will prevail [Pre-Chorus 2:] There is a goblin in the castle, take heed [Chorus:] And in my dreams I am flying (Woah-oh) Over Cowdenbeath Across an endless horizon (Woah-oh) Fly forever free Below me I can see the world so far away And in my dreams I am flying (Woah-oh) Flying through the Kingdom of Dundee On a jetpack made of cosmic steel [Bridge:] Now it's time to fly away, starborn defender To realms beyond space I will soar Clouds beneath and stars lie before me No return forevermore, so Hail to you, all that I've known here With speed of light I'm to rise Heavenwards, wielding the hammer Riding on the astral fire far beyond the sky [Chorus:] And in my dreams I am flying (Woah-oh) Over Cowdenbeath Across an endless horizon (Woah-oh) Fly forever free Below me I can see the world so far away And in my dreams I am flying (Woah-oh) Flying through the Kingdom of Dundee On a jetpack made of cosmic steel

I think the most important thing here will be the texts of the future songs and character of the new protagonist. Michael sounds more "young" , "romantic", "pure" which can fit greatly for a new hero. Tom sounded like an epic warrior Angus was by the end.

Oh, man, you has the voice of an angel. I love it! You are perfect for Gloryhammer!!!!

1:58 "Nailed it! I am so cool..." 🤣 Good for you!

Man, I was so worried when tom left, but dude, you're great. Hope restored. can't wait for the next album!

Congratulations! My anxieties have been eased. Can't wait to hear you on the next album! Fantastic rendition. That is not an easy song, by far!

Gloryhammer is the band that got me into power metal and I gotta say I’m really happy to see them continuing on! You sound amazing, I hope you’re not just here for the tour lol

YES. Love all the extra harmonies, seriously great. Can't wait to see this in person next week!

bro this is great, glad to see glory hammer getting a great new lead singer

best version of this song by a very wide margin

I've watched your covers for so long, it kinda feels wierd that you suddenly just joined one of the biggest power metal bands. Amazing work!

Congrats Sozos Michael! As a fan of Helion Prime from way back, and Gloryhammer as well, though it’s unfortunate things worked out the way they have over the course of the bands, perhaps it was all leading to this conclusion. Glory and hoots to you, and best of luck in the coming era!

A great vocalist of Power Metal music.

This sounds really good, I'm very impressed. I can't wait to see some live performances and new songs.

Not going to lie when I first heard that Thomas left the band I was sad and saw that sozos joined I was like I give him a chance and at first I didn’t like him at all but then I heard the new of gh album and holy shit this guy fits the band so well with his soaring vocal I fell in love with his vocal and looking forward to seeing him live with gh

After this demonstration I can say that I am way more than only happy and excited for the future of this group. He has an amazing voice and I am absolutely sure he will get even better when he will settle down better in the group. Keep going Gloryhammer 💪 can't wait for new songs 🖤

Just saw Sozos rock out with Gloryhammer in Denver a week ago and came back to watch this. He is perfect for the role.

congrats becoming the new lead singer of gloryhammer sozos we're all rooting for u

I hope you get your own awesome armor - both medieval fantasy and powered armor.

God you make that look so effortless! Mad skills on pitch, emoting, range, just beautiful! Wish we could see you all in concert - come to Cali!

Sozos I have to admit, you were amazing 2 nights ago in Belfast! Gloryhammer are lucky you stepped in as a vocalist because your voice, charisma and stage presence are off the charts. Hope to see you back here in Ireland soon!

I saw you in concert on the 11th December 2021 your voice is so powerful.

Album 4's gonna be sick

I was on the fence about if I was gonna follow Gloryhammer following Thomas departure but I'll stick around at least until 1992.

Hey, Thomas will always be special, but you my guy, sound fucking awesome in your own right. You're not the same, but that most definitely does not make you bad. I shall await more stuff with excitement.

So I'll be honest, as much as I'll miss Thomas, I prefer your voice. While Thomas was pure power, he sometimes lost control over his pitch and articulation. You sound very well trained, and I think you are a worthy replacement. Looking forward to hearing more!

I feel like he articulate more it is easier to understand the sotry. I like it

I was worried..... I am no longer worried. You are a worthy successor!

This is pretty damn good... I feel that Thomas has something of a comical edge to his voice that's missing here (or maybe that's just me having heard him sing those ridiculous lyrics for so long), but other than that, I'm really impressed. Happy you're with GH. For the Glory of Dundee.

You're rocking it, dude! Good luck and have fun on the tour. Can't wait to see you perform live one day! HOOTS!

I usually don't like when vocals change in a band, but I'm sure you will bring a new energy to the band that we all will love. Your vocals are amazing.

I'm pretty sure i can speak for everyone when i say our anxiety has been relieved.

You have a great voice! Hopefully there will be a us tour coming soon 👍

I cried of nostalgia listening to that.

Congrats man! Happy for you

Dude sounds like a prince lmao. Thank you for continuing one of my favorite bands!

honestly now that Sozos is in gloryhammer, all i need is this song on spotify

For some reason I was in more anticipation of the goblin in the castle than riding on the astral fire far beyond the sky. You nailed it. Can't wait for the upcoming album.

Absolutely nailed it and with your own spin too. I’ve been following your channel for a few years now, congrats on the gig!

When I found out that the Gloryhammer replaced their singer, I immediately searched until I found this recording. I was not at all disappointed, I look forward to hearing your pipes in more of their music.

I love these little nods inbetween, its like Sozos is reassuring us that the story is real

I've been with Gloryhammer from the beginning and while I definitely miss Tom and his aura of epicness, you are a fantastic singer with awesome technique. It gives me hope that Gloryhammer will prevail after all.

This is amazing! so excited to hear you singing for gloryhammer, HOOTS!

Your voice makes me think Rhapsody of Fire, and honestly I love it.

I know you’re probably busy with touring/recording album 4, but I think it’s be super cool to hear you cover some of the other gloryhammer songs from the old albums. Though I certainly wouldn’t complain if you did more Sonata Arctica instead!

WoW what a beautiful Amazing Voice. This sounds very Epic ;)

Not stepping in the shoes of thomas, carving his own way through a great voice. Keep on doing great! \m/

You are phenomenally talented and I can't wait to hear the next chapter of Gloryhammer with you as the vocalist. Congratulations, best of luck, and I hope to see you all in the USA sometime soon!

Can't wait to see you kill it in Glasgow on Sunday night man !

I am no longer worried about what will happen to Gloryhammer. You have a great voice that fits well with the music!

;_; I'm so proud. From Helion to international meme metal. I hope it works out for you. You deserve it.

This is really awsome to see your version of this song. It wasn't my top best GH song, but you really brought it up for me. I am really hoping the band writes at least one single that works with your vocals specifically!

Congrats, I foresee great things in Gloryhammer's future.

Long Time gloryhammer fan. Dude sounds awesome can't wait form the next album

You sound wonderful! Very excited to hear more!!

Still sad about Thomas and the whole situation of him be fired, Gloryhhamer is one of my favorites bands... I was one of ppl worry about the change of vocals, but man you rocks too, congratulations! Hoping for the next songs, great work ^^

I'm actually really excited to see what you can do. I love that you are more of a melodic metal singer. I'm actually not afraid of the new Gloryhammer line up now and I very much wish you the best. See you in glasgow tomorrow!

What could be great is a studio quality compilation of the greatest gloryhammer's hits but performed by Michael. It would be awesome.

Man, you rock! Can't wait to see and hear you on many stages to come

I'm sad that Thomas is gone but I'm happy to see that they got a great singer to sing with them

That's my fav song from this album...nicely done lad, congrats!!

This was very very good, looking forward to seeing what you produce with the band!

Difficulty number one, getting an homogenic tone, masterizing breath, and belting. But I do think that besides the pure technique, the real key of this performance is the attitude. There is a real incarnation of the character in your way of singing this song. You don't just sing, you ARE Angus. You believe each word you are singing, and your variations on "prevail"... Dam I love this interpretation. Can't wait to see you on stage as soon as I can !
