Glassgod
Ancestral Stories
Monumental. Adventurous. Contemporary. That's the sound of the symphonic metal band Glassgod, hailingfrom Leipzig, Germany. In 2018, lead singer Mario Hartwig and guitarist Marian Lux started working on theirdebut album Ancestral Stories. The songs combine progressive riffing with an atmospheric orchestra andsynthesizer foundation, powerful drums with the flowing character of film music, as well as melodic cleanvocals with brutal growling to produce a symphonic work of art. Like yin and yang, the two songwriters allowtheir respective creative flows to merge into one. Glassgod create a sonic and lyrical landscape filled withfacets of emotion: sometimes turbulent, terrifying and dystopian, yet fragile, invigorating and colourful. Ontheir upcoming concept album, Glassgod take their listeners on a journey into long past eons of Earthshistory. The four young musicians are not going on this journey alone. Together with symphonic metal icon LivKristine (ex- Leaves Eyes and Theatre of Tragedy) on the mic, Glassgod provide a grandiose album finalewith their epic long track Mankind.
