“Unassuming at first, but as Glacier gather pace, the song reveals its true nature, a composition characteristic of the chaos unleashed on an unsuspecting populace.”
“Equal parts sprawling and claustrophobic, A Distant, Violent Shudder, set against the backdrop of the Dust Bowl, showcases Glacier’s uncanny ability to highlight a harsh beauty amongst the urgency and despair found within the shared experience of wide-scale traumatic events. This is Glacier at their most refined.”
“A Distant, Violent Shudder is as pummeling as it is alleviating. A powerful piece that is able to grind your bones into dust and be left in magnificent wonder all in the same moment, this is what it means to be post metal be given the justice that it deserves. Rarely do we see something like this come around even given the sheer density of what the underground has to offer, yet Glacier continues to stand undeniably tall as a name not to be underestimated.”
“Glacier have perhaps delivered one of the defining Instrumental Post-Metal albums of the last few years.”
“Through the force of thunderous walls of sound pierced in places by thin windows revealing ethereal skies, the thrill that Glacier seeks to paint here is as disturbing as it is galvanizing. Described as both distant and violent, it seems to cross the air to seize bodies. In an implacable seizure of rare intensity. Engulfing then liberating. Dressing drama, grief and darkness in a strange beauty. Superb.”
“It turns into a sludge-filled thrash-soaked masterpiece of giant, heavy metal and noise rock goodness. Even though the song is heavy and dissonant, "The old timers said they'd never seen nothin' like that" has an odd beauty to it, as well.”
“It’s the deep contrast on the album that makes it as good as it is. Oppressive moments and tempered with lighter ones and the two hang in a balance that is very difficult to disrupt.”
“We can’t think of a better jumping on point for the Glacier uninitiated than A Distant, Violent Shudder which sees the Boston instrumental quintet …cranking everything up for a moody, Heavy AF opus”
“The album’s intensity never wanes; the only way to slow it down is to reach the end of a side of vinyl.”
NO LIGHT EVER
"...['O World! I Remain No Longer Here.'] is a fitting introduction to the thunderous introspection embodied by Glacier’s new LP, No Light Ever."
“Like ice scraping powerfully against the earth’s crust, Glacier drag you along at a methodical and purposeful pace, slowly crushing you into a pulp while laying waste to what once stood before you.”
“…deep and brooding…a symphony of shattering highs and rumbling lows…”
“No Light Ever is a hallucination-inducing trip deep into your inner self. It is a captivating, unrelenting album that preys on your comfort and lunges in when you least expect it, a chilling and massive creation…”
