When Gloryhammer first came to town they were on the "middle bill" with Alestorm as the headliners. Gloryhammer, according to my son, DESTROYED the crowd and stole the whole damn bill. The Following year? Gloryhammer headlined. For absolute, artery hardening levels of glorious cheese, "The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee" from their first album is a ridiculously awesome track.

Once again, I have to recommend "Alestorm - Treasure Chest Party Quest", the music video; it's crazy. Such a weird song. Even weirder video.

The singer is also featured as Odin in the Christmas song "valhallalua" by ManoWar of Steel.

Members from this band, alestorm, necrogoblikon and aether realm hade started a new band called wizardthrone. From what I can tell theyre gonna continue the not so serious tradition but with black metal :D

"The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee" is great. Also "Legend of the Astral Hammer." Honestly it's hard to think of songs I don't like. They started out as a fantasy-themed band and have since gone into space fantasy.

Damn, never seen someone pick the "I could sing Drink on this" up so fast. That's exactly what we (me and a couple of friends) have been doing everytime we went to see Gloryhammer.

Personally surprised it was Hootsforce. I think "Unicorn invasion of Dundee", "Angus Mcfife", "Gloryhammer", "Legend of the Astral Hammer" or "Universe on Fire" would have been a better intro to them.

I bought their album two weeks ago after seeing a reaction vid, and it is great. “Land of the Unicorns” and “Gloryhammer” are my favourites. What I’ve learned so far: Dundee and Fife are very important, there is a hammer, there is a Hootsman and lots of hoots, and there are unicorns. There is a live concert of them on WackenTV of their gig at Wacken 2019, and it is great! It also has the starting times of each song in the description, so youcan pick songs out :-)

Greetings from Finland & may the "Hootsforce" be with you.

Glory! Hammer! These guys are absolutely amazing, and you HAVE to check out more Alestorm. This is all just so much fun, the cheeseball metal. You can't get it out of your head once you get it in!

Chris Bowes has a new group coming out in Spring next year that he worked on with the singer from Necrogoblin. It's called WIZARDTHRONE.

Realizing like a month ago that there's a market for this kind of subject matter in song lyrics has restored some of my faith in humanity.

There are few bands more goofy than Gloryhammer, and one you need to see is Grail Knights. They have a song featuring JOAKIM BRODEN OF SABATON called Pumping Iron Power. That needs to be your next power metal reaction.

Ever since hearing Gloryhammer for the first time, ive been making people on job sites laugh when I refer to my Estwing as my Gloryhammer.

I can only recommend the ENTIRE discography. Because every song is part of the narrative, and as it goes on the small details that were in previous songs make it magical. So yeah, react to the whole band. Yes.

Oh my god, I can't believe you made it to Gloryhammer! Hail Hoots!!

I love Gloryhammer! they are one of my personal favourite bands! :D

Yay! I love Gloryhammer so much. More, please!

You can’t really go wrong with any Gloryhammer song. The cheese factor is present through all of them. ;-D My favorite by them is Apocalypse 1992. But as you said the song Gloryhammer is a great way to go. On a similar note of songs that are rehashed, several of the Nightwish albums really borrow elements from each other. I think it’s most apparent in the intro to Bye Bye Beautiful (Dark Passion Play) and Alpenglow (Endless Forms Most Beautiful). It’s basically the same key work with a couple notes difference at the end. You’re still pretty new to Nightwish but once you start listening to a lot of their stuff consistently you’ll notice the similarities.

The concept of a flying submarine is absolutely ridiculous, and i want to know more. Also, Tank - you've *got* to react to some Van Canto. I recommend their "Fear of the Dark" video from Wacken 2014 for a live act, or their original song "Lost Forever" for a better-mixed track, albeit not a live one. Enjoy!

few songs for you: ANCIENT BARDS - Through My Veins, ANKOR - Holy Wolf and more BABYMETAL and Bandmaid!

Definitly Warhammer metal. I once spoke Thomas Winkler at a signing and there he told me that Warhammer is their main inspiration for Gloryhammer.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the pitch meeting for that video "So this will be a big space battle what should we do for that? What kind of space ships?" . . . "Not space ships." . . "No space ships? Then what?" . . "Submarines!" . . . "But that's not how submarines wor.." . . . "Shhhhhhhhhh........submarines."

I remember going to see gloryhammer in what I think was their first ever show in London UK Boston music rooms it was so badly promoted that I think there was probably only about 25 of us there and it was epic

The Fires of Ancient Cosmic Destiny - epic basically opera style written (not with the vocals, but its divided into acts) story based 12 minute beast of a song, still my favourite from them :D sure check out the lyrics for that one, even though i didnt want to listen to the song for a while after the first listen because of what happens there...

Basically anything gloryhammer makes is gold. I suggest universe on fire, hail to crail, magic dragon, and that's just a small sample of the medium faves of mine.

Of all the times I've listened to this and Alestorm's drink - I'd never noticed the similarity. But I watched your Drink video shortly before this one, so I also heard it right as you pointed it out. Gloryhammer songs are pretty addictive and I have woken up singing 'Universe on fire' so many times!! They're great fun live too.

"Universe on Fire" and "Angus McFife" are also really great by Gloryhammer and were the songs that introduced me to this band :D

I would really recommend "Rise of the chaos wizards" or "the unicorn invasion of dundee". Especially the solo in the second one

These boys are tons of fun...wonder of they ever done a co gig with Alestorm

Oh yeah! Been waiting for this one! They're one of my son's favorite bands. He's six by the way 😆

I don't know if you've done any Amon Amarth yet, but 'Raven's Flight' has such a kick ass riff in it I don't think you'll be able to not headbang.

FIGHT FOR THE KING, FOR THE HAMMER AND THE RING, FIGHT FOR THE ANCIENT STORY! Next: "Gloryhammer" the song, from the Album Gloryhammer, by Gloryhammer, where you can learn about his Lightning Powered Goblin Smasher Honestly, all their videos are super fun. You can't go wrong with Gloryhammer. I also highly recommend checking out "Valhalleluja" by Nanowar of Steel now that you're acquainted with Angus McFife. Their song "And then I Noticed She Was a Gargoyle" is also great. If you enjoyed "Drink" from Alestorm, check out "Drunken Dwarves" by Wind Rose. It will also get very stuck in your head, in a good way.

Very nice that I came for your reaction on Hootsforce and also got a bit of "Blind and Frozen" from Beast in Black playing in the background 🍺 Edit: can we call it Flash Gordon Metal!?

Awesome that you got to Gloryhammer! Universe on Fire next, it's the ultimate feel good -song. Imagine listening to that with sun setting behind you and a beer in your hand.. just a perfect combo!

If possible react to Equilibrium "Mana". It's a beautiful 16 min behemoth of a nordic folk metal song without lyrics that just takes you on a wonderful journey. Not reflectif of the bands general work but a clear sign of what they are capable of. Put simply, it's a piece of art

This is definitely Warhammer metal 🤣 especially since the first albums are high fantasy and the later albums are just in space suddenly just like with Warhammer

Awesome! I didn't stop smiling all the way through it. Very good and entertaining.

“Fight for the king, for the hammer and the ring”? Definitely would call this Warhammer Metal

1)Rise Of The Chaos Wizards 2)Gloryhammer Yes they have a song that's the same as the band name.

I think I saw someone call it Intergalactic Space Metal recently lol. Thought that fit pretty well. You should definitely check out their self titled track next. That's what really got me started checking them out recently. As for a new suggestion, not sure if anyone recommended Serenity - Lionheart to you yet. Austrian Symphonic Power Metal band. And while I can't necessarily say for all their music as I recently discovered them, that album is basically crusader metal and it's great lol. I've head banged so hard to that song despite it not really being that heavy. Interestingly enough, their singer is also the singer of Warkings.

I like how they link the spaceship's damage control and firepower to the music. When the music slows or is played by Zargothrax, the Hootsforce submarine takes more damage then when Hootsforce starts singing again the tide of battle turns

This was a fun video and cool, catchy song. You breakdown and tank facts only added to the fun, like usual I may add, and looking forward to next one. Thanks Tank!

Another really good song is by a Japanese metal band called "ningen isu" with the song "heartless scat". They are more of a heavy metal sound. I came across them when I was looking for Japanese metal and rock to aid with my listening skills of Japanese, was not disappointed

We're getting a guitar manufacturing history lesson in the middle of a Gloryhammer reaction, unexpected but informative!

Christopher Bowes is also Zargothrax the evil chaos wizard!

*There's a song of Alestorm I came across : "F**#cked** With An Anchor". It's hilarious.*

Fantasy Space Metal! Now youre prepared for another epic colab: Nanowar of Steel - Valhalleluja!

once you hear it....you can not unhear it. Cause we are here to hoot your beer XD And i vote for warhammer metal! YES

I really like Hail to Crail or Goblin King of the Darkstorm Galaxy. Or even Hollywood Hootsman.

The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee is another great one :)

Thank you, I had a great time!! Great music, lots of laughs, and singing along.

My man...im so thankful for that Tank Fact about what this song is about. Cause Ive been listening to this for mo ths and had NO idea

The comparison to Drink was a large discussion point when this was released. Not usually a good discussion. I don’t mind it though and it makes me wonder if ultimately the whole Gloryhammer universe is a mad drunk’s dream, which would be fun.

That intro sounded exactly, I mean almost identically, like Ancient Forest of Elves by Luca Turilli, the frontman of Rhapsody of Fire. They're an Italian power metal band that basically writes Tolkien novels in album form.

HAIL HOOTS! My 5yo loves watching the Wacken 2019 Live to spot the unicorn toys and costumes in the crowd. "Unicorn Invasion of Dundee" is the very first chapter of this interdimensional saga. "Angus McFife" introduces you to the 1st Angus McFife; in this video he's the 13th. Once you've gotten to know both Alestorm and Gloryhammer a bit, try Sabadu's "Mighty Polish Tank", parodying Sabaton. Christopher Bowes says he didn't do it but there are clear markers there.

the story cliffhanger popup reminded me of another musical storybook "The mechanisms, Old king cole" song 2 of a audio novel.

Such a good song! Your reaction was wonderful!

You said the magic word, Warhammer 40k :D There's such thing as Warhammer metal :D I have a few recommendations: Rylanor's Last Stand - Original Song - ft. George Hoctor & Cpl. Corgi . There's Bolt Thrower, they also just do Warhammer metal songs. There's more but I think this is a good start :D

FINALLY!!!!! You need Gloryhammer in your life!

Thanks for the reaction. Didn't know them, now I do, checked them live: they sound really good live at Wacken.

Your face says it all tank they are so fun to listen to lol

When Gloryhammer's first music video was released on KZread (Angus McFife), their drummer (Ben Turk) got involved in a discussion in the comments about his facial hair. Someone had (rather nonsensically) criticized his beard for being effeminate, and Ben entered the comments to earnestly ask for suggestions for what he should do differently.

I think it's time for Valhalleluja, Nanowar + Glory Hammer ! I loved the reaction!

I would have needed this this morning (swedish time). Mondays ... That was hilarious!

You can sing the chorus for "Drink" over the chorus of this one, it's the same tune to me. But like you said; writer of "Drink" in the band so nobody's hurt XD
