I'm not privy to anything about this band but this sounds like shady stuff going down in the background. Getting fired over email after basically a decade is the scummiest shit I can think of, regardless of what anyone did or did not do.

Sounds like potential drama brewing. But Winkler seems to be forcing himself to be professional lol.

Definitely iffy. They need to kill Angus McFife as well now. His voice and personality are integral parts to the band.

That sucks, I liked his voice. Let's hope he finds another good band to join and also let's hope Gloryhammer has a good replacement going

He was gloryhammer, there's probably nothing the band can do to keep going on and interest as many people

This sucks.. Unique voice and a great frontman. He made Gloryhammer stand out. Hope to see him in another band. Awful by the band to just send a email about kicking him out..

I expect they will start to suck just like Rhapsody of Fire (now Fabio Lione's gone).
I just hope they won't.

Thomas Winkler's voice was the main reason I liked Gloryhammer. He made them stand out from other power metal bands. I guess Gloryhammer are finished unceremoniously over greedy money reasons.

They already killed Angus McFife in the last album: "And so he resolved that he must make the final sacrifice for the Glory of Dundee. He would end his own life by descending into the raging volcanic fires of Schiehallion" (The Fires of Ancient Cosmic Destiny).

TBH, not a huge fan of his voice. This has the potential to be a good thing.

Metalsucks just posted a pretty scathing article about this and allegations of abuse and racism with the band. Not a great look for the remaining members! After the Iced Earth drama in the beginning of the year, I'm glad its a band I don't like this time! Unfortunately 2021 has not been a good year for Power Metal.

Their next album is called "return to the kingdom of fife" and is supposed to feature angus mcfife II as the protagonist, they might need to change their plans now lol

If Metalsucks wrote it, then it has next to zero credibility in my mind. That publication literally looks for reasons to cause controversy and accuse people of things.

Isn't wizardthrone his too?
I'm sure whatever he makes now will be painfully mediocre. Alestorm sucks now too

All we've heard so far are Angus McFife I and Angus McFife XIII. II - XII don't have to necessarily sound the same. I and XIII sounding the same might have been a coincidence.

Wth, I don't like power metal but Gloryhammer has some fun stuffs that I occasionally like listening to. I do like his voice as well. Guess I'll not bother to listen to this in the future

I gave Gloryhammer a try out of curiosity and I kept on listening because of Winkler's voice.
Admittedly, guitar work is great and most of the compositions are cheesy but interesting enough, but Winkler was the standing point for me.

Thomas' voice was what drew me to the band to begin with. Without him, it makes me extremely skeptical of the band's future, especially if they fired him for bogus reasons.

As a non-fan, I feel bad for the fans. Winkler's vocals were great on albums and totally killer live as well, from what I've heard. Terrible news.

Why didn't they talk face to face or called instead of writing an e-mail? I don't understand the commumication in this band.
It's a pity cause I really enjoyed his voice and never got the chance to see them live.
