Gloryhammer | DISCOGRAPHY TIMELINE EXPLAINED (thus far)

Hi everyone! The only law is the law of hoots!
I hope you know understand the Gloryhammer timeline better! It took me a long time understanding and editing this video so I'd appreciate a like and subscription if you did enjoy!
This may not be the complete picture of the story, and I apologise! I have tried to piece together what I can, however, I have used some of the information from the album information booklets, but not all information and therefore, some information may be incorrect. Feel free to correct me.
Please go listen to the band, they make fantastic powermetal and I thoroughly enjoy their music:
open.spotify.c...
All music in the video belongs to them, and most of the background videos, however, there are some from LoTR and various Star Wars films.
Thank you!!
Hail to Hoots

Hi everyone! I loved making this video and I want to continue making more! What are other powermetal bands which I could cover the storyline of? Or better yet - what other topics would you guys be interested in watching? Thank you!

[@arcanumcoto]

slight correction - It's both Zargothrax and Angus singing - Angus is being overconfident, Zargothrax literally wants to do a funny and set the universe on fire.

[@undersscore6930]

This whole timeline can be summed up as this: Scottish royal family has bloody feud with a basket weaver.

[@flashn00b]

19:55 I think in the Terrorvortex dimension, Zargothrax is the founder of Dundee rather than Dundax

[@azuritet3]

My interpretation of the lore is the Gloryhammer is a receiver powered by a stellar-laser. That's why it's so powerful AND why it has no power in other dimensions. Angus must find a suitable star which peaks at the same wavelength as the hammer. There is, however, no transmitter to beam the star's power to the hammer. Angus XIII must fly into the star in order to charge it up again. This is why he needs a 'magic jetpack.' This 'jetpack' protects him for long enough for the hammer to charge up again and defeat Zargothrax.

[@hyperdeluxeyt]

Ooh yea I like that! That’s cool.

[@valeriikozan]

Surprisingly informative and well-edited! Keep going! The only thing i want to mention, is what "the ertifacts can't be so close" in Starlords' section is not fully right. More likely, is what Starlords' knew, that all artifacts could fall into wrong hands and thought: "if artifacts are very close it's likely that someone is fighting using them" - so made an "alarm mechanism" that would tell them if someone is using their artifacts for evil

[@hyperdeluxeyt]

Ah right, thank you very much. I appreciate your feedback!

Finally! Thank you!

[@daan804]

Amazing video with a comprehensive timeline! I have a few corrections or just comments about the content of it, though some of the information might just be my own interpretation of it, not objective. Also, I am not naming things you said wrong but were corrected with added text or subtitles. -angus the fifth does not exist in any album (yet). The information you give is probably correct, just not discussed in the songs. -scotland is not a wasteland from the beginning, only after it was nuked in the fourth album, it becomes a nuclear wasteland. -just fyi, the hootsman (=warrior on unst) is like the terminator, being a cyborg killing machine movie star in hollywood. -18:08 yes, he sacrificed the human race because it would save the rest of that universe. The universe has way more life in it than just all life on earth. -18:15 little detail: kor-virliath would not be spawned, but a portal would be created, so more like summoned. -20:17 well idk about this, not really a mistake either, i just guessed that the hammer was powered with cosmic infinity or some fantasy stuff like that, and the charge could not be transferred through the terror vortex, woch just made the gammer weak. I guessed I just tried to make some meaning of it lol (Never mind this one, you discussed it later in the video) -22:44 idk cool fantasy space stuff (aka just don't think about it) 22:29 i guess one submarine yes, but the hootsforce referes mostly to the people (angus, ralathor, the resistance) I think -25:07 I absolutely love the comical way you talk about this, amazing! -32:45 I think that long ago is the first album -37:39 I don't think the ralathors survided 38:08 multiverse not universe This may seem like a lot, but they are minor details and could not have made a better video than you did. The only other thing I'd like to add is that you could have showed where all locations are on a map of scotland, since as you probably know, all of the locations in gloryhammer are real places (except maybe the land of unicorns). Still, you made an insalely good video! Thanks for reading this whole comment btw, I know it is a bit of a long one...

[@hoovy2319]

You know, that summoning circle looks an awful lot like a D20 I wonder if the whole story line was inspired by a DnD game

[@hyperdeluxeyt]

Certainly seems like either DnD or 40k inspired.

[@LordVulcanus747]

A little clarification, you say at 19:40 that when Proletius is stabbed by the Knife of Evil he is corrupted by the power of math. I think you misunderstood the reference to Anti-Telosic Power in the song. I always saw this as a line with a pretty deep meaning. Telos is Greek for end, and is used in philosophy to mean the final cause of a being or action. Teleology is the study of why things exist. A tool made by humans has the end of being used for its purpose. For example, the end, or Telos, of a shovel is to dig. A big topic in philosophy is why humans exist so the end or Telos of humanity is often equated with the ultimate good. If humans can achieve what they are made for then they will be perfect. So an Anti-Telosic power is a power that corrupts something into being the opposite of what it is meant to be. I hope this little philosophy lesson was interesting to someone.

[@masonwilliams9545]

zargothrax did nothing wrong

[@sirpuffball6366]

Album 4 definitely felt like a really weird direction to take the story in. Dedicating an entire album to this parallel reality ending of album 1 with another Angus and another zargothrax after the killer finale of 3 honestly really cheapens it. And the *literal* deus ex machina at the end where Alien gods descend, decide everyone but Angus dies instantly, and then take him in to join them? At least the Hootsman of album 3 was an actual pre-established and powered up ally coming to the rescue, not just what amounts to the reverse of "then they died" but as the actual climax. Just kind of irks me.

[@hyperdeluxeyt]

Yea for sure, I think it’s definitely the weakest album in terms of lore and story due to the fact it takes such a strange path. I hope they somehow link back into the main timeline rather than continuing with this parallel universe stuff. But I suppose it’s hard because Zargothrax is frozen after the first album so there wouldn’t be any real villain ? I have no idea, Chris Bowes can figure it out, I have faith..

@@hyperdeluxeyt They probably also wanted a excuse to take it a bit elsewhere with Angus to have the new guy be more distinctive than wedged between the old albums.

Idk if someone said it before here, but the band members confirmed ralathor prime *is* terrorvortex ralathor, and ralathor from the terrorvortex turned into ralathor 38-b in the 38-b timeline. So basically, it's like this Ralathor terrorvortex dissapearing from, the terrorvotex --> Ralathor vortex is spotted as a hermit while 38-b goes back in time to show the prime gang how to traverse the caverns --> (converge from 38-b) Vortex Ralathor kills 38-b to preserve continuituy, while vortex ralathor gets a position as a teacher [fork path 1] -> Death in 2nd album [fork path 2] -> Ralathor 38-b, gets the sword of the lord of the goblin horde and after realizing that the sword lord said that if he told anyone in the future, he'd be vaporized instantly never said anything about the past, heading off to show the prime gang how to traverse the caverns (converge to prime) This is why the timeline calls him the mysterious multidimensional hermit. He was never born in the original timeline, and was a creation from the terrorvortex

But it's not as perfect as with Gloryhammer and Rhapsody where the lore is there to pick up on in a more classic narrative sense. Idk man, lots of things to explore in the power metal realm.

[@Brighton-mw8kq]

I have a theroy that Angus McSix the story that the singer started (or continued) is what he kind if wanted for the story because in the first song of the album he states that his hammer has lost his glory which is Angus stating that he made mistakes making him evil and the glory hammer is assume is meant for a hero of pure heart and the advancements made to it is the only reason that it didnt work before so the story of Angus McSix is him fixing his mistakes and making a better universe
