Power metal warriors Gloryhammer are returning with the announcement of their highly anticipated upcoming fourth album, Return to the Kingdom of Fife. The album will be out on June 2 via Napalm Records. Before the release of the album, the band have unleashed their first single “Keeper of the Celestial Flame of Abernethy.” The song is accompanied with an extraordinary animated music video, animated by Alex Henderson.

The band share their thoughts about the album:
“This tale begins long in the past, 1000 years before even Angus McFife was born. A simple peasant by the name of Zargothrax lived a peaceful existence weaving baskets in a village called Auchtermuchty, until the legendary hero Dundax decided to build a new Kingdom in his lands… the Kingdom of Fife. Follow the rise of Zargothrax into a twisted sorcerer of chaos and evil as he seeks the ultimate revenge on the Prince of Fife and all his descendants!”
