Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath

Space 1993: Wrath Of Kor-Virliath is GLORYHAMMER’s latest full‑length and a direct sequel to Space 1992: Rise Of The Chaos Wizards. The review identifies it as the Anglo‑American quintet’s fifth studio album and the second record featuring frontman Angus McFife V, performed by Sozos Michael, described as a multi‑octave Cypriot vocalist. Standout cuts highlighted include Ultimate Sacrifice and Die With A Sword In My Hand, while the closing track is a 13‑minute epic titled The Celestial Warhost Of The Dundonian Marches To Space Against The Dark Sorcerer: Final Assault On Battlemoon X-22.

Musically the band sticks to its established recipe – theatrical, symphonic European power metal with bombastic arrangements and a gleefully absurd concept. The record stages multiple galactic skirmishes, hordes of demons in Aberdeen and the arrival of Legendary Space Knights of Crail, but the review stresses that following every plot beat is optional; the songs work on impact, hooks and dramatic dynamics alone.

The appraisal singles out the musicianship and compositional ambition, noting Christopher "Zargothrax" Bowes’s hand in the sprawling finale and calling it perhaps his most ambitious piece to date. In short, the album is presented as another unqualified success for listeners who enjoy GLORYHAMMER’s mix of high‑energy metal and tongue‑in‑cheek storytelling, though it offers little in the way of stylistic reinvention.
