Power metal warriors Gloryhammer have released “Ultimate Sacrifice,” the first single from their upcoming studio album, Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath, set for release on October 16, 2026, via Napalm Records. The track arrives alongside an animated music video directed by Alex Henderson.

Continuing the band’s signature blend of over-the-top storytelling and cinematic power metal, “Ultimate Sacrifice” picks up the next chapter in the Gloryhammer universe. Following Zargothrax’s failed ritual, the ancient Elder God Kor-Virliath returns to threaten the galaxy, leaving the Space Kingdom of Fife facing its greatest challenge yet.

Musically, the single combines soaring choirs, orchestral arrangements, and triumphant melodies, offering a glimpse into the expanded sound and ambitious production that define the band’s forthcoming album.

Commenting on the release, Gloryhammer said:

“Mighty warriors! Prepare for battles of galactic steel! Will Angus McFife V fulfill his dream of flying away on a unicorn? What was the true fate of the Hootsman after he imploded? Find out now, in the next episode of GLORYHAMMER!”

The accompanying animated video follows the heroes’ desperate quest to confront Kor-Virliath, bringing the band’s latest fantasy adventure to life in the style of an animated television series.
