A Friday night not so long ago, in a venue far, far away....
 

It is a dark time for the music industry. Although physical album sales are at an increasing decline, select few have found viral success through the image of beloved sci-fi characters and pursued absolute metal-shredability.

Evading the dreaded cease and desist, a lawsuit of big words and corporate greed, led by the mouse himself; the Empire will live on.

The evil lord Dark Vader, obsessed with melting the faces of all rebel scum, is leading his musically gifted group of Troopers (and Boba Sett) on a journey to ultimate Deathstar-dom....
 

 

The group of five musicians, dressed in star wars inspired costumes, found viral success through their video for the Stare Wars Main Theme released. The video now sits at 4.8 million views since December 2015.

Since Galactic Empire's debut, they have changed their costumes from exact copies, to more inspired versions of their respective characters; and they have released a full length album of metal renditions of Star Wars music. The band is currently on tour with Dangerkids, and any guitar enthusiast or Star Wars fan is sure to enjoy. The band is an absolute parody, and provides comedic breaks in the music to show off the power of their weapons and force choke rebel scum. If you enjoy the show, you can stop by their merch table where a Jedi slave will unwillingly sell you whatever you'd like.
