GLORYHAMMER - He Has Returned (Official Video) | Napalm Records

** Get your copy of "He Has Returned" on CD and Vinyl from Napalm Records RIGHT NOW: lnk.to/GH-HeHa... **
Fantasy Metal titans GLORYHAMMER round off 2024 by unleashing the surprise new single "He Has Returned"’! Expanding on the story of the fan-favourite character of the Robot Prince of Auchtertool, the song sees the band revisit a familiar theme whilst treading new sonic ground, seamlessly combining pounding heavy metal, uplifting electro-synths, and devastating dual guitars with the masterful songwriting and singalong choruses the band has made their trademark for the past decade.
The band also takes a retrospective look at their history and evolution with two bonus tracks; new versions of "The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee" (hearkening all the way back to their first 2010 demo) and the breakout hit "Hootsforce" from 2019's "Legends From Beyond The Galactic Terrorvortex". With a fresh production from the dream team of George Lever (Loathe, Sleep Token) and Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Powerwolf, Volbeat), these two classics take on a new lease of life.
"He Has Returned" is Gloryhammer like you’ve never heard them before. With a calendar of shows across the globe, and a new full-length record in the works, the stage is set for Gloryhammer to dominate the modern power metal scene yet again!

[@AlexHendersonAnimation]

So happy to be collaborating with Gloryhammer again, and for the chance to bring the fabled Robot Prince to life. I hope you all enjoyed the video as much as I did making it! :D

[@Zhlfgkhan]

Man i love you, Thanks for making such beautiful animations. Otherwise, I love your style, it has a very 2012 feel to it :D

[@sanderambroos5210]

These video's are really really great! I hope they will continue to work wth you for all the other new releases too! :D

[@jooptablet1727]

I am so happy you made this

[@flashn00b]

Sad that he died as quickly as he was re-introduced :(

[@AlexHendersonAnimation]

@@flashn00b I mean, if you've heard Maleficus Geminus that's kind of how his lore goes

[@Mannchini]

Can we just give Alex Henderson the rights to the Gloryhammer TV show already?! Man this was awesome!

[@Zhlfgkhan]

Animation is complicated

[@caninoasiatico4703]

​@@Zhlfgkhan Japan: what?

[@MiguelSanchezDelVillar]

I dont need a show, animated videos for as many songs as possible would be enough for me, i love his style

[@Guydude777]

Don't you love it when a throwaway character becomes a whole thing? I know I do! This is magnificent.

[@cloudmaan4035]

He was never a throwaway character.

[@gloryhammermemer]

DESTINED TO REIGN FOREVER MORE

[@HRTLSS07]

This is basically the story where the robot prince gets stabbed by the knife of evil in the song Maleficus Geminus But rather just dying like what we thought happened in Maleficus Geminus, this song gave us detail that he also sacrificed himself and turning into a nuke for the glory of Dundee.

[@SmarkDown]

Taking a page out of the Hootsman's playbook. Gotta respect that!

[@BSRaven]

Woke up to this. It's a good omen for the day.

[@mrcomp1971]

Gloryhammer's DND table must be amazing.

[@Morjixxo]

Playing Warforged this time ;)

[@DarkVictini13]

The battles in this are SO SMOOTH??? I love this so much, i love the robot prince, I ordered the robot prince shirt from the European gloryhammer site and shelled out for international shipping because the American nuclear blast site just wasn’t cutting it. I love this so much. I love this band.

[@GaricG]

The song is really really great, but the video, with the animation and the references, is once again a masterpiece!

[@axeljonathanludolf4871]

Am i the only one who STILL wants more of the Robotprince of Auchtertool?

[@bibabobovich3122]

Tank you guys. I feel like I’m 11 again, and my favorite series Argai is on tv. Hail to the robot prince! Will be rooting for his return.

[@sirpandemona]

Really liked the detail of the tufts of Angus McFife II fabolously long hair being shown rather than fully being covered by the helmet. Both the video and the music are truly something else.

[@jamczaar]

New Gloryhammer, Best Black Friday Ever!

[@lic.arielschillaci]

HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLAY THIS MASTERPIECE IN THE LATIN AMERICA TOUR!!!!! I ALREADY HAVE MY TICKET!!! ARGENTINA IS WAITING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[@daughterofyith5393]

I was not expecting this and I could not be happier. I will be looping this song for a week.

[@JuLiane]

Holy crap, you have outdone yourselves. The song is great but the video is absolutely spectacular. Just wow. And yup, this definitely should be a movie or tv show. I would watch it.

[@cloudmaan4035]

I have waited so long! Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all a Robot Prince of Auchtertool.

[@chabaloo8855]

His death was a punch to my guts in Maleficus Geminus. It is a cry in glory in this one. What a great friend he was. Rest in peace, mighty robot prince of Auchtertool

[@parkingturtle]

Thanks Robot Prince of Auchtertool, we love you too ❤

[@GreatfulGamer92]

Every music video we get closer to a full animated movie and i for one am here for it

[@crazymelon02]

holy unicorn how is every song gloryhammer releases such a banger

[@jessicapinto3817]

Just by the nameI knew it would be awesome, but I'm sorry, mixing frakking computer music with metal is fantastic and then this clip! 🤘🤘✨✨ Alex Henderson - brilliant job. Got me 100% invested

[@XSBMLLG]

The song alone is enough to get me super excited, but when you add this amazing animation, I will be like overfed foie gras! By the way, have you already started planning to make a full-length animated version of GLORYHAMMER? 曲だけでも私を極度の興奮状態にするというのに、こんなに素晴らしいアニメーションまでついたら、私は栄養過多によってフォアグラになってしまうよ！ところで、GLORYHAMMERを全編アニメ化する企画はもう始まってたりしますか？

[@PichayutSongpechmongkol]

Translated binary code: Mighty Warriors! Please enjoy this new song about my robotic adventures across the galaxy! I love you all! I love you too man

[@wimblebimble3771]

Absolute cinema

[@vasilm1953]

Absolutely Amazing,can't wait to see what more awesomeness you guys have in store for us!

[@Zirisek_Art]

Own Robot prince song before GTA 6? Yes please!! Such a great thing for a rough week. Amazing! I love it! Cause GH Always knows how to cheer me up :D thank you for our mighty lord!

[@Brighton-mw8kq]

The amount of new lore that just got dropped is insane thank you again Gloryhammer for another amazing song

[@cerberusslavomiraarus1308]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="240">4:00</a> If you look at the log on the right, you can see a casino Dundee reference!

[@DeniosTheGamer]

it freaking bangs!!!! please please play this on NO-SAX next month!!!!🙏

[@MrMark711]

Epic song + epic video = pure epicness

[@Huckslay]

This is glorious

[@HereticalKitsune]

*teleports behind you* Nothing persona, kid, you are just in my way. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE the animation! The music is great too, but the animation really got me.

[@PatrickJanz]

Wow, just wow. What a insane video.

[@jooptablet1727]

YEEEESSSSSSSSSS it´s a whole video!

[@monsoongaming]

Another excellent song and video!

[@sfredd9800]

So Auchtertool is an outerdimentional realm where godly robot protectors live. Quality.

[@Dradagorm]

This song just made my Friday, thank you so much Gloryhammer, I can't love you enough!

[@ThePowerfulIronclad]

Yesterday was my birthday. I loved this gift.

[@quercusquercus532]

Tomorrow for me. I didn't even think to ask for this, would've felt greedy. Happy birthday!

[@ThePowerfulIronclad]

@quercusquercus532 thanks! Same thing to you!

[@Crimson_Midnight260]

If there's one thing we know about being nuked in the Gloryhammer Universe, it means he'll return as a God in the next album

[@galzajcytmu6659]

GREAT, fun, catchy song, love it! and really nice animated video

[@arrymy]

Robot Prince of Auchtertool forever will remain cool

[@MigueldeLys]

I foocking love it! So epic, so nerdy, so fantastic, so much power! Perfect sountrack to level my new character in WoW.

[@Baerlimaru]

I have been listening to Gloryhammer for quite a while now and I really have to say seeing Alexes animations… it definitely adds another layer to enjoyment. I really hope they collaborate more in the future!

[@alexanderlambert295]

The song is incredible as always, and Alex Henderson has done yet another amazing animation. Glory to Gloryhammer!

[@theavengerofthefallengods7963]

this is robot prince we deserve

[@electronmaster91]

Mighty Warriors! Please enjoy this new song about my robotic adventures across the galaxy! I love you all! The binary code in the description

[@teencomment]

Man, I love how the refrain kicked in at the very end XD

[@pippochiri4547]

So i suppose the "Old Gods of Dundee" that created the Prince are different from the "Ancient Gods of War" that created the Hammer, Knife and Blaster. Pretty cool

[@cerberusslavomiraarus1308]

What if... Robot prince and Hootsman are brothers...

[@AIgeneratedAlien]

So this was before the last track of the last album, right? I mean, Angus went to the Space!

[@petertapola8097]

Superb work on all fronts!

[@adamlisiewicz1777]

Babe wake up Robot Prince of achtetool returned

[@thedaronxx3171]

Amazing animations and amazing music what's not to love ♥️

[@SillyWeeSausage]

Its really amazing how the band just got elevated so much with Sozos, don't me wrong I love Thomas, but since the change gloryhammer has been knocking it out the park

[@iriptheskin]

best birthday present I could have asked for, what a banger

[@ponuralama4460]

By the gods, another glorious song and video! 🔥

[@Victini0510]

Hail hoots, a surprise new song about the return of the Electronic Lord of War animated in the same style as the Keeper of the Celestial Flame!

[@Ariize97]

Yes, finally! What a time to be alive!

[@benr717]

As soon as i heard that opening riff i knew who this song was about and i was SO NOT DISAPPOINTED! This is an incredible song and i love the way characters have their own unique riff that signifies the characters appearance or achievement. Looking forward to seeing you in February

[@speed65752]

Your sacrifice will forever be remembered.

[@RenArtemis]

We need full move of Dundee!

[@latindwarf8173]

The greatest hero of our lifetimes.

Really loving these clips

Great song. 💙

[@AnomalyINC]

Gloryhammer and Henderson, or Gloryhenderson, is such a perfect match.

[@filokratos]

I just love the fact they use symphony from maleficus geminus

[@flipperiflop]

The new singer sounds good

[@ZezoOfficial]

HE HAS RETURNED!!!!!

[@EDLEXUS]

Zak as always with the most important role of all

[@ssejr01]

Awesome!

Great song, even greater animation! 🤘

[@carstenf6376]

Very Nice Musik and Video. Love it.

[@UlukayX]

Epic Video, Epic Song, Epic new ending for the Robot Prince. Who'd have thought, a character who gets one catchy chorus in an 11-minute Song and then dies unceremoniously gets so much attention? ^^'

[@hajdies1189]

It's a hard choice to decide what's better, animation or music, as always, the level of humor is top notch, congratulations on the work of both the animator and the band.

[@KoteyNN]

Как же это круто 🤟

[@NorthernRoadsRacing]

GLORIOUS! 🤘

[@unser_preis]

MIGHTY INDEED!!!!!

Yeeeeah!

[@quercusquercus532]

Might've gone Auchtal instead of Binary in the video description. Otherwise, exactly what I wanted. All I want for Christmas is the single cover on a t-shirt. Thank you, Gloryhammer and Alex Henderson!

[@gutturalemesis]
