MJ Ippo’s right, this is Glassing’s best, and nyp to boot (?!) A no-brainer.

Thanks Michael P for the prompt :) Favorite track: Defacer.

Ippocalyptica This is peak Glassing, managing to pole vault Twin Dream and reaching the same lofty heights as (more or less) sub-genre stablemates Converge. The shoegaze elements are somehow more shimmery than ever despite the doom and black metal riffing and melodies going harder than ever before. This is not a “jack of all trades, master of none” scenario. It took Glassing a little while to get here, but From the Other Side of the Mirror is the most interesting release in this style in a good while.

PaperError I still don't understand how these sounds can be emanating from just 3 guys. I never thought anything could top Twin Dream but here we are. Unreal.

Der33 Rapidly becoming one of the best, most forward-thinking bands in heavy music, and you would be unwise not to immerse yourself in this massive work.

Amend In you sanctified A sick light Spark of sacrifice As breath from air You in my every thought Cruel knife To my lips Blood in a kiss    Anything you want Sink out of sight Your every word Weight of desire Plead just to stay As I succumb Do what you want  Ascend In you sanctified Amend Come and realize Such gifts Fester, rapt within
2.
Another retch of denial Delusion swells just like rot to flies You live life like a gift You leave nothing behind Malady of endowing Artifice to adore Melody of the siren Drones and I continue to worsen                          Carelessly Giving in to You're like an angel Nothing touches you Now, come onto me Like bright flesh on slate Yours to keep    To abuse Dragging devotion Nothing touches you Hell only knows How I venerate Devout blessings by name Chained to my soul      I have lost the way Cure so undeserving  Now, come onto me Like bright flesh on slate

Defacer 03:13
Take my impassioned mind Deluded life with what never was Each bitter day reclaims us And every gift remains ours Defacer Defacer Defacer Lay waste my name Defacer Defacer Eraser of shame I've subdued my worth I've effaced the blame All I've loved Weeping tears in the rain Asphyxiating  words Suffocating blame All we love Weeping tears in the rain Come outside Come outside Desperate cure I've found Come outside Come outside Watch now and be still Defacer Defacer Defacer Lay waste my name Defacer Defacer Eraser of shame

Nominal Will 04:40
Every bliss dulls Every mark numbs Indifference spreads like ivy As dreams ascending Molder us internal The want of A long way out A whisper To take us home Will it spring forth From our soul's chords Illustrious heights of existence Trembling with fervor Further now from purpose Consoling what I can't change Still I remain, lost to spirit and emotion The want of A long way out A whisper To take us home Consoling what I can't change Still I remain, lost to spirit and emotion
6.
Ritualist 05:29
Sallow and precious gift Pact of remorse A plot to bury Unwell with blinding purpose Pray thy will to surface As so the ritualist endures Rebuilds, reshapes, reforms To our suffering Pledged eternal This life we are remiss In slow obscure helpless hurry With the contempt for those unbending They'll come to ache as I always have Some quiet dream comes to bleed Beg your confession A dredged verse A pledge to heaven Ilk of rebirth What you intend to love you corrupt As so the ritualist endures Rebuilds, reshapes, reforms To our suffering Pledged eternal Some quiet dream comes to me Some quiet dream comes to bleed
7.
Through hissing speak Corrupting love And when I rend it pulls me inward I waste away to feel this And when I slip By then you'll know it Feel my dispassion gnaw As my heart rots As remorse stirs Withered self worth Turns like the leaves in a summer's torch Leave me to dream extinguished And when I wake I'll be forgotten The moon shies  In severance The trees sway to the wind that bends them  With one last bitter cry Smother my dimming light The chance To submit Without struggle or care    Feel my dispassion gnaw As my heart rots
8.
Circle Down 03:57
Let it scold Let it run through A thousand different ways In countless multitudes Days bleed into days The sequence rounds I am left to ruminate and circle down And circle down Safe From meaning Make me to believe it Senseless unrest Sours my thoughts Patterns of dissent Enduring Days bleed into days The sequence rounds I am left to ruminate and circle down Slip It takes less now Last regret Bridges the gap I propose Better to cut it off than to Decompose Clipped like a young rose

Wake 03:20 video
Bled out and bound In an empty unsparing hell And now I feel the cost Holy abuse for my wicked ways  What love I had has fled me God, was it a memory Another savage dawn Cackles my name The ruthless glare floods my cell And it is light again With ending breath I sever What's held me bound together Another savage dawn Cackles my name The ruthless glare floods my cell And it is light again God, was it a memory 

about

The space between soaring euphoria and dwindling hope is much thinner than so many of us would dare to admit. Glassing, however, not only reside in this liminal space, but thrive.

The Austin, Texas-based power-trio have overcome every grisly obstacle thrown their way, sharpening their teeth over eight relentless years of touring and drinking in the wisdom earned off the back of their inimitable palette of post-hardcore, black metal and soaring, celestial shoegaze.

Now though, on ‘From the Other Side of the Mirror’, Glassing invite us inside to take a hard look at ourselves from an alien, uncompromising and often unsettling perspective.

Art was created by Christopher Royal King, who has made the album art for every album Glassing has released.
