By your foolish meddling with the three artifacts of power
You have summoned forth the starlords of eternity
These weapons are not your playthings to be trifled with
And so for your impudent acts, your world shall be eradicated
Except for you, brave prince, join us
For your destiny awaits beyond the outer reaches of the galaxy
Context (kinda, also go check all the amazing arts in Gloryhammer server on Reddit and here BECAUSE PEOPLE IN OUR FANDOM ARE EXTREMELY TALENTED LIKE WHAT THR FUCK HOW CAN YOU BE THAT GREAT??!!) :
Ok, but hear me out. There is this heavy metal band called Gloryhammer, and their lyrics are a mix of fantasy and sci-fi and it's amazingly dramatic and I love them. BUT.
Their 4th album came out in June, and they have a new lead singer. And if you put aside the fact that I now have an absolute vocal crush on him, it just so happens that this man has long, wavy dark brown hair and sometimes he wears a freakin' RED BANDANA and because they're in character and everything he also wears armor and all I could think of upon seeing him was OMG HUNTER. I mean LOOK AT HIM.
(On a side note if you're into this kind of music this album is so so good it's called Return to the Kingdom of Fife , if you do listen to it which is your favorite song ? Mine's Keeper of the Celestial Flame of Abernethy :D)
Can we talk about the Robot Prince of Auchtertool?
Like, such a conceptually cool character, presumably made by the Brothers of Crail, and appearing on the album art. Only to get Astral Dwarves of Aberdeen treatment.
Still better than the Questlords of Inverness, they retroactively no longer exist, similar to the Glaswegian Time Crystals that have the memorial for those who died in 1992 during the battle between Angus XIII and Zargothrax.
Anyways, enough rambling, back to the fact there’s just a Robot Prince that exists, and may be somehow related to the king referenced in On the Wings of a Rainbow who blessed that Angus with robots. We don’t know which Angus that is, or where. It could be XIII, or V in 1993 are my two theories. I would lean more towards XIII in the Terrorvortex. I hope Chris is proud of the Robot Prince of Auchtertool because that’s the second group/person I’ve gotten really attached to who might never reappear. God I love Gloryhammer, it’s so silly.
NOW EXCUSE ME BUT ASIDE FROM GENERAL SCREAMING I WILL ALSO BE LOOKING AT THIS ALBUM COVER FOR THE NEXT HOURS BECAUSE IT'S A ✨ M A S T E R P I E C E ✨ AND DAN GOLDSWORTHY IS A KING 👑
