I suspect the "creative differences" (were there any) consisted of issues like their view of heroism.
If you look at the direction Gloryhammer has gone, their "new" Angus ended up with his homeland destroyed, and then the planet Earth destroyed (without a previously established galactic empire). The first single was "I wanna fly away," which, compared to their earlier "I wanna set the Universe on Fire!" is downright limp wristed. The music videos make their hero comedic and incompetent.
Meanwhile, Winkler went "F*** this, up the heroism, turn up the gonzo until the knob breaks off, and get me a T-Rex! We're going to invade Hell!"
There's a reason I find Winkler to be "Gloryhammer Canon."
I also find it funny that Gloryhammer ALSO started going to animated music videos after Angus McSix did. But I'm sure that's just pure coincidence. Right?
I listened to the latest Gloryhammer album and you're right. They sound like a completely different band without Winkler. The album is also nowhere near as engaging as their older works. Angus McSix, on the other hand, has simpler songwriting, but it's a lot more fun to listen to.
