Not all that long ago in a galaxy not all that far away… A band the likes of which the universe had never seen was formed for one purpose — to create an unstoppable musical “force” known as GALACTIC EMPIRE.
By reinterpreting classic selections from legendary composer JOHN WILLIAMS’ iconic scores from the STAR WARS SAGA into guitar driven heavy metal, GALACTIC EMPIRE has created a musical juggernaut feared in many systems.
Comprised of some of the most infamous and feared villains in the galaxy — lead guitarist Dark Vader, drummer Boba Sett, guitarists Red Guard and Shadow Ranger, and bassist Bass Commander — GALACTIC EMPIRE’s commitment to their mission is unparalleled.
From a foreboding rendition of ‘The Imperial March’ to the sweeping guitars of ‘Duel of the Fates’, the band’s faithful translations of WILLIAMS’ classic scores has created a new “force” where fandom and music overlap.
Opening act Master Hand is best described as “What if Linkin Park played too much Nintendo?” or “Limp Bizkit, but if ‘Break Stuff’ were about rage quitting Street Fighter matches,” our sound is tight, melodic, unique, and very, very fun. Concert attendees will be blown away by the singularity of the band’s distinct, signature 5-piece sound and EXPLOSION of energy!!
