3/5 ·
Warthur
With a title deliberately crafted to engage the nostalgia of nerds who remember the early 1990s glory years of Warhammer 40,000 and other such Brit-fantasy games and stories, and a symphonic power metal sound which would meet the standards of legends of the genres like Rhapsody, Gloryhammer's Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards is fifty minutes of pure fun. Some editions include a reimagining of the album recorded in conjunction with an orchestra (with the songs retitled to reflect the extensive rearrangements involved), but the main event is solid and symphonic enough by itself that this isn't absolutely necessary and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it if your copy doesn't have it. Alright, but the joke wears thin after a bit.
