Galactic Empire is the galaxy’s foremost instrumental Star Wars cosplay heavy metal John Williams tribute band. Their first two music videos were viral hits, gaining over 24 million Youtube views with national press coverage including Huffington Post, Guitar World, Entertainment Weekly, and MSNBC, along with a live TV performance on E! Entertainment during their coverage of the 2016 Academy Awards. The band went on to tour extensively, headlining multiple national and overseas tours, including Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia, along with appearances at major festivals, comic cons, sporting events, and supporting arena acts Ozzy Osbourne and BABYMETAL.
Galactic Empire released two full-length albums with Rise Records before signing to Pure Noise Records in 2023 and releasing the third in their trilogy of Star Wars albums, “Special Edition”. The upcoming album CINEMETAL sees the band journeying to other universes as they put their signature metal twist on songs from popular film franchises including Superman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Back To The Future, Lord Of The Rings, Batman, Avengers, and more. Comprised of the most sinister musicians in the galaxy, Galactic Empire is primed to continue their journey toward becoming the ultimate power in the universe.
