The origin of the perilous undertone is explained in the following \u201cUltimate Sacrifice,\u201d\u00a0a sweeping power metal track: The Space Kingdom of Fife has been forsaken and Kor-Virliath seeks a new way to seize power after Zargothrax\u2019s failed ritual. Previously released as a standalone single, \u201cOn a Quest for Aberdeen\u201d\u00a0shines anew in an album version; and the place of its vibrant story and rousing character, Angus V, is now fully revealed as it takes its place among the wider narrative of the album. At this point in the story however, peace isn\u2019t an option yet: Aberdeen is overrun by demons in \u201cDie with a Sword in My Hand,\u201d\u00a0and with a sentiment such as the one contained in this song\u2019s title, epic battles will surely follow. With a chorus full of gang shouts, this track is certain to become a live favourite. \u201cSilver Talon\u201d\u00a0keeps morale high by addressing the mighty galactic fleet, stunningly rendered on the album artwork against the backdrop of the pestilential Terrorvortex. Ser Proletius\u2019\u00a0legendary Space Knights of Crail join their ranks with the ace pilots whose campaigns are illustrated amidst a stunning orchestral landscape in \u201cStarfighters of Leuchars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterwards,\u00a0<strong>GLORYHAMMER\u00a0<\/strong>expands upon the story behind birthplace of Zargothrax, where the battle hardened \u201cWarriors of Auchtermuchty\u201d\u00a0swear their allegiance to their emperor with an inescapably catchy sing-along chorus. Elsewhere in space, majestic melodies echo through the derelict halls of an abandoned spaceship, as Angus is guided to an unexpected long-lost ally, taking him one step closer to the ultimate goal of \u201cPax Galactica.\u201d\u00a0Electronic soundscapes lead into energetic \u201cDemonic Devotion\u201d\u00a0which has the song\u2019s protagonist, long trapped in his own mind, trying to reconcile with the destruction in his wake while \u201cHammer of Fate\u201d\u00a0sets the scene for what\u2019s to come, but is it the fate we have all come to expect? The story concludes with the bombastic monolith of \u201cThe Celestial Warhost of the Dundonian Empire Marches to Space Against the Dark Sorcerer: Final Assault on Battlemoon X-22,\u201d\u00a0an epic nearing 13 minutes of playtime, split into four ever-so-theatrical chapters. As previously seen with\u00a0<strong>GLORYHAMMER<\/strong>, the narration is expanded through voice lines of a host of legendary characters, as they engage in mortal battle to change the fate of the galaxy\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pre-order your copy of Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/us.list-manage.com\/404HMlfjDPk?e=955d2fdc54&amp;c2id=6d82ac048ade280d663fe9909956cbf9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NOW<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 available in various limited formats:<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/metalplanetmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/aa6c155c-627e-732c-5e82-b6225f2bd90f.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metalplanetmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/aa6c155c-627e-732c-5e82-b6225f2bd90f.png 675w, https:\/\/metalplanetmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/aa6c155c-627e-732c-5e82-b6225f2bd90f-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/metalplanetmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/aa6c155c-627e-732c-5e82-b6225f2bd90f-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>SPACE 1993: WRATH\u00a0OF\u00a0KOR-VIRLIATH<\/em>\u00a0TRACK LISTING:<\/strong><br \/>\u201cUltra Portam Astralem\u201d<br \/>\u201cUltimate Sacrifice\u201d<br \/>\u201cOn a Quest for Aberdeen\u201d<br \/>\u201cDie with a Sword in My Hand\u201d<br \/>\u201cSilver Talon\u201d<br \/>\u201cStarfighters of Leuchars\u201d<br \/>\u201cWarriors of Auchtermuchty\u201d<br \/>\u201cPax Galactica\u201d<br \/>\u201cDemonic Devotion\u201d<br \/>\u201cHammer of Fate\u201d<br \/>\u201cThe Celestial Warhost of the Dundonian Empire Marches to Space Against the Dark Sorcerer: Final Assault on Battlemoon X-22\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/metalplanetmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/eda10117-362f-7224-6510-5332a72c3873.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metalplanetmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/eda10117-362f-7224-6510-5332a72c3873.png 800w, https:\/\/metalplanetmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/eda10117-362f-7224-6510-5332a72c3873-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/metalplanetmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/eda10117-362f-7224-6510-5332a72c3873-768x535.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath\u00a0<\/em>will be available in the following formats:<\/strong><br \/>1-LP White Label Edition, incl.
