10 Great Things In Metal This Week (27th Nov)
3. Galactic Empire Confirm Release Date And Track Listing For Debut Album
Everyone needs more Star Wars in their life. Just like everyone needs more metal in their life. This is why Galactic Empire is the most vital rock band of the year (maybe).
And finally, after a whole summer of build-up and a successful Kickstarter campaign, the cosmic quintet have confirmed their upcoming debut album. The record will be self-titled and is set to land on 3rd February 2017.
Taking 11 of John Williams's legendary compositions (including the main theme, "The Imperial March", "Duel of the Fates" and "Battle of the Heroes") from the original six films and transforming them into instrumental metal pieces, the Galactic Empire record is one that both Star Wars geeks and headbangers alike should be absolutely hyped for, as five talented musicians convert the classical to the utterly kickass.
