Queen's Brian May plays guitar on epic Masters of the Universe song 'Eternia'

Queen legend Brian May takes centre stage on the first song to be lifted from the Masters of the Universe movie soundtrack, the epic ‘Eternia’.

The gloriously retro-sounding ‘Eternia’ was written by the film’s acclaimed composer Daniel Pemberton, and it fuses atmospheric synths and sweeping orchestra arrangements with Brian May’s trademark playing on his fabled Red Special guitar.

Sharing the song over the weekend, Brian May enthused: "Ah! Here it is! I only just discovered this is out! We have the power!"

‘Eternia’, named after the planet that Masters of the Universe is set, is available to listen in two parts right here:

Based on the Masters of the Universe media franchise by Mattel, Masters of the Universe hits cinemas on 5th June 2026, 39 years after the first movie adaptation of the same name.
