Power Metal band Gloryhammer are calling out to “all fans of music, cinema, literature and art” about their new track and video and also about their upcoming tours. They recently released their album, Return To The Kingdom of Fife, but now they are revealing a cover-song of “Mighty Wings”, originally performed by Cheap Trick and featured on the Top Gun soundtrack. It’s also a track that’s been a favorite in their live shows for some time but has never seen wide release. Gloryhammer are also embarking on both a European and North American tour in 2024.
Infusing the Electrified 80s Pop Rock sound of the classic song with their own brand of “bombast and power”. Glorryhammer’s “Mighty Wings” pursues nostalgia but also holds out optimism for the future.
Gloryhammer says:
Mighty winged warriors! For many years now, the Top Gun OST, and in particular, Cheap Trick’s standout track ‘Mighty Wings’ has been a constant in our lives – the eagle-eared amongst you shall have heard it countless times in our pre-show playlist. When recording Return to the Kingdom of Fife last winter, we decided to pay homage to the song that defined so many great moments for us by recording our own, distinctly GLORYHAMMER cover version. Previously only available on limited vinyl, we now invite the entire world to bask in its resplendence, as the final single to be released from RttKoF before we begin work on the forthcoming album! Talk to me, Hoots!
