“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.”
“ a sludge-filled thrash-soaked masterpiece”
“...['O World! I Remain No Longer Here.'] is a fitting introduction to the thunderous introspection embodied by Glacier’s new LP, No Light Ever.”
"…deep and brooding...A symphony of shattering highs and rumbling lows…"
"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."
"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..."
"Glacier have managed to create a huge, sprawling sound worthy of their name...No Light Ever is a powerful companion to bring with you into your darkest night."
"There are so many twists and turns, not one moment of monotony and constant pushing of the boundaries."
"GLACIER have created a thought provoking and intensely atmospheric album. No Light Ever showcases the band’s magnificent use of dynamics, creating a kaleidoscope of sound and emotion that sets them apart from many of their post metal peers."
"...the tracks come along with such force and urgency as Glacier always manages to do...I can only recommend Post Metal fans to treat themselves to this album..."
"Glacier is not only huge and heavy, though: it’s also very poetic...The songs are brilliantly written and carry immense satisfaction"
BIO
A five-piece post-metal band from Boston, MA, Glacier is a band whose music fully embodies their name: a crushingly loud and unrelenting force.
Following up 2019's bleak and monolithic No Light Ever, 2024 sees the release of A Distant,Violent Shudder, jointly released by Wolves & Vibrancy Records and Post. Recordings on September 6, 2024. 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 arrives five years after No Light Ever, and while the band’s signature hues and tones can be found all over it, it is clear right from the first notes on the opening track that not only have they undergone an evolution, they’ve risen to a whole new level with their output. With unbelievable heaviness capable of moving mountains and floaty ambiances bringing the listener to the edge of their seat and to the point of breaking down entirely, Glacier have harnesses the might and resemblance of their namesake – persistent body of density that is equally beautiful as it is foreboding, only pulled down by its own weight and best viewed from a safe distance.
The quintet’s previous album No Light Ever – also as bleak, brooding, and introspective as the name implies – was nominated for 'Best Metal Artist' at the 2019 Boston Music Awards, and threw Glacier into the spotlight of the burgeoning international post-metal/rock scene, including landing on numerous best of year-end lists. Since their inception, Glacier has played heavily throughout the Northeastern and Central US supporting bands such as Boris, Big Brave, Bell Witch, Junius, Nothing, Pelican, Conan, Inter Arma, and a multitude of other notable acts in their respective musical field, cementing Glacier’s position on it to become a force to be reckoned with.
