Galactic Empire, the initially Star Wars-centric metal band anchored by the musical duo/production team of Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland, have begun streaming their cover of the theme music from the 2012 MCU smash hit ‘The Avengers‘. Composer Alan Silvestri originally created that theme.
Galactic Empire‘s Lord Sihk said of putting their own stamp on that track:
“Citizens of the Empire ASSEMBLE. Prepare yourself for our metal rendition of the ‘Avengers’ theme from Planet Earth’s MARVEL Studios. With this piece, we wanted to pay tribute to phase 1-3 with the most iconic and well known piece in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, written originally by Alan Silvestri. We felt this was a fitting theme to join the rest of the track lineup for our new album CINEMETAL.”
The masked band’s aforementioned new full-length outing “Cinemetal“, will find them branching out from the proverbial galaxy far, far away, taking on themes and compositions from various hit films over the years, including the themes from ‘Superman‘, ‘Batman‘, ‘Indiana Jones‘ and more.
