The galaxy’s favorite metal band, Galactic Empire have released their new single “The Battle Of Hoth” today via Pure Noise Records. Taken from Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, “The Battle Of Hoth” is the latest single from Galactic Empire’s forthcoming album, Special Edition. The eleven track collection is set to be released on May 5th and features tracks from across the Star Wars cinematic universe. It is available for pre-save now.
Shares Lord Sikh, “BEHOLD! Our new single entitled ‘The Battle of Hoth’ is now available for your aural consumption. You may recognize this musical jigsaw puzzle from the infamous snow battle sequence in “The Empire Strikes Back”, which is a great documentary someone made about us. Prepare for the final stage of sonic warfare before our ultimate weapon “Special Edition” is released on May 5th. There will be no one to stop us this time!”
In addition to the new single, Galactic Empire have announced that they will be performing a special livestream concert on their Twitch channel on May 4th. The show will be part of a streaming marathon featuring Vincent Bennet, Scott Carstairs, Chain Brain, Thongg Delong, and Nicole Papastavrou, and raising money for the Make A Wish 501st Legion Fund.
The following day Galactic Empire will celebrate the release of Special Edition with their “Revenge of the Fifth” show on May 5th at Mickey’s Black Box in Lilitz, PA. Joining the band for a special one-time only encore performance will be Run DMC’s own Darryl “DMC” McDaniels. Tickets are on sale now.
