In a galaxy far, far away, a band of the most fearful villains in the universe joined forces… to make one hell of a super group! Fed up of the Rebel Alliance always winning, Galactic Empire came together to tempt the metal-heads of Earth to the dark side (they have assured us, they have cookies!)
Galactic Empire‘s self-titled debut album is set for release on February 3, 2017 and the band put out this statement; “AT LONG LAST! Our preparations are com…plete. The mighty Galactic Empire will unleash our ultimate weapon in the battle to bring heavy metal to your galaxy. The puny humans at Velocity and Rise Records have succumbed to the crushing power of the Dark Side and will release our debut full-length album on which we pay tribute to Supreme Sith Overlord John Williams with 11 tracks of pure sonic devastation. Join us, and together, we can rule the galaxy!”
The tracks on the album feature from John Williams’ Star Wars soundtracks performed in a unique, heavy metal way by some of the most infamous villains of all time!
