Texas post-everything outfit GLASSING have released their third full-length studio album, 'Twin Dream', today via Brutal Panda Records. The new record was produced by Andrew Hernandez (This Will Destroy You, Balmorhea, The Sword) and features the singles "Burden" and "Absolute Virtue". To celebrate the release of 'Twin Dream', GLASSING have dropped a music video for their new single, "Spire". The new video was directed by Drake Howard and edited by Alex Penrose. Watch the video at the link below.
"Hardly is music ever as emotive and mind-melting as 'Twin Dream'" - Invisible Oranges
"Sky-scraping post-metal with doomy girth, black metal ferocity, and post-hardcore bite." - Revolver
"Shrieking, blasting, immersive, cataclysmic nightmare fuel." - Decibel
"Glassing offer quite the maelstrom of metal....a true adventure" - Metal Sucks
“Standing confidently between pillars of grace and brutality, the Austin trio's third album seethes, rages, and sobs, riding waves of sonic fury that crash onto serene (but blackened) shores.” - Austin Chronicle
Twin Dream is a sonic mirror pointed at our modern era, and the results are nothing short of immense; ranging from grim and destructive to hopeful and cathartic, oftentimes all within a single song. Throughout their third LP, GLASSING channels multifarious energies that delve deep into the Underland while simultaneously exploring the celestial.
Elements of post-hardcore, black metal, noise rock, ambient, shoegaze, and doom swirl together to create a rich palette of mood and textures across 11 tracks that ruminate on splintered realities, altered consciousness, and esoteric philosophy. While the world burned on the outside, the music took on an entirely new meaning and those that survived the nightmare were left with a newfound sense of hope amongst the bleak reality. Twin Dream is the archetypal soundtrack to these end of times.
GLASSING is also thrilled to share that the band will play a special album release show on Sunday, November 13th at Hotel Vegas in Austin, TX. Tickets are available at:

About GLASSING:
ATX based Glassing is a three-piece, genre-blending amalgamation of heavy music saturated sonorously in dejection. Notable elements of Post Rock, Shoegaze, Doom, and American Black Metal, Glassing have been making music that walks the line between all 4 genres seemingly all at once. Fronted by Cory Brim on guitars, Dustin Coffman on bass and vocals, and Jason Camacho on drums, each individual has a mastery of control over each genre, brandishing an outward love and appreciation for all of them simultaneously. This type of coalescence has prompted an estrangement towards traditional fans of metal excluding them from the genre for some almost entirely. Flaunting an unapologetic stance towards moving their style forward in any way they can, Glassing simply creates what they wish to hear for themselves. Using each division as a medium of creativity with no restrictions to genre traditionalism or gatekeeping. Since their conception in 2015 they have come out with one self-titled EP, the two LPs "Light And Death" and "Spotted Horse" and are anticipating the release of their third full-length record aptly named "Twin Dream". Since the recording of “Twin Dream”, the band has brought synth and midi noise master Shaun Ringsmuth of Street Sects on board for live show performances and future compositions.
