Fans of power metal, get ready! GLORYHAMMER, known as the last defenders of true power metal, have released their new single, “On a Quest for Aberdeen.” The band delivers thunderous riffs and soaring vocals in this exciting new chapter of their musical journey.
The song is a high-energy power metal anthem. It mixes heavy rhythm guitars, skilled solos, and catchy melodies to tell an epic story filled with adventure, mythical creatures, and destiny. GLORYHAMMER’s trademark dramatic style is amplified by powerful vocal choirs, intense dual guitars, and grand orchestration. The production, handled by Jacob Hansen (who has worked with Powerwolf and Amaranthe), is their biggest yet. The track takes listeners on a bold and unforgettable journey through fantastic worlds—true to the GLORYHAMMER sound.
With this new stand-alone single, GLORYHAMMER pushes their signature power metal sound even further. The themes of determination, adventure, and an epic quest lie at the heart of “On a Quest for Aberdeen.” The band will perform this new song along with other fan favorites on their Dundax Ascendant Summer Tour across Europe. They will share the stage with their labelmates Visions of Atlantis at festivals and clubs. Following this, GLORYHAMMER will join Alestorm for a major tour across the United States this fall. Fans should prepare their hammers for an unforgettable ride.
GLORYHAMMER shared the story behind “On a Quest for Aberdeen”:
“The song continues the tale of Angus McFife V, a mysterious hero introduced in 2022’s popular single ‘Fly Away.’ After discovering interstellar travel, he reaches the ruins of Space Dundee, one year after the events of ‘Space 1992.’ Though disheartened, Angus never gives up. He begins his quest for the golden fortress of Aberdeen, only to find himself trapped in the ‘Heavens of the Demonflame.’”
About their upcoming US tour, GLORYHAMMER said: “Mighty warriors of the USA, it’s time to make America ‘hoot’ again! This September and October, we will join Alestorm as special guests on our biggest US tour ever. Who will join us for these epic battles this fall?”
