The band fired Thomas Winkler (lead singer) aka Angus. No reason was given but his poor live performance after the pandemic was rumored.
Then some old chat was leaked that put to light that James (bassist aka hootsman) and Chris (song writer / former keyboardist aka Zargotrax) were racist/mysoginic trying to take advantage of their status to fuck fans.
Then some allegation of abuse against James were made.
At the end of it all Christ wrote a PR excuse letter. Gloryhammer got a new lead singer (Sozos Michael). Thomas went on his way to make a new band (Angus McSix).
So we got two album this year with gloryhammer style.
Oh damn. Quick recap:

Goddamn. I thought people saying “Angus McSix” were making some kind of joke about whoever replaced Thomas.
Sucks that his bandmates turned out to be that kind of people, but I’ll definitely look into his new project.
Thanks for the recap!
