Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath
Gloryhammer’s *Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath* continues the band’s outlandish science-fiction storyline and their theatrical European power metal sound. The review says the album matters as a lively, technically accomplished return to the style that made the group popular, offering listeners exuberant escapism rather than a major change in direction.
The story follows demonic forces through Aberdeen, the arrival of the Legendary Space Knights of Crail and a battle said to decide the galaxy’s fate. The reviewer singles out “Ultimate Sacrifice” and “Die With A Sword In My Hand” for their catchiness, and praises the 13-minute closing track’s scale and musicianship; the album receives 7.5 out of 10.
- Gloryhammer return with theatrical, high-energy power metal.
- The album’s absurd space saga features a 13-minute finale.
- The review rates it 7.5 out of 10.

Gloryhammer is a British power metal band known for fast, dramatic songs and a comic science-fiction story told across its albums. The story features characters such as the Legendary Space Knights of Crail and the demon Kor-Virliath, with battles spanning planets and galaxies.
Power metal often pairs heavy guitars and energetic singing with grand melodies and fantasy or science-fiction themes. Gloryhammer’s albums use that style to build a deliberately theatrical universe, so listeners can follow the music as both a collection of songs and part of an ongoing tale.
