NIGHT FISHING Share New Single, "Alone With My Thoughts", + Video

Brutal Panda Records will release 'Live Bait', the debut EP from Denver, CO’s NIGHT FISHING, on April 21st. Comprised of four seasoned Rocky Mountain Road Dogs (members of Call of the Void, Green Druid, Abrams, Muscle Beach), NIGHT FISHINGexist to explore the boundaries of improvisation, mood and structure within the realms of heavy, instrumental sound. Today, they’re revealing the music video for “Alone With My Thoughts,” the record’s second single.

Across three tracks and 25+ minutes of fuzzed-out Heavy Psych, hypnotic Krautrock and free-form jazz, NIGHT FISHING seamlessly weave together a melting pot of brain-liquifying sonic euphoria. An experience that could only be formulated live in the studio and within the confines of the moment…NIGHT FISHING is for lovers and will take you where the vibe wants to go.

Watch the video for “Alone With My Thoughts” recorded live in the studio

Drummer Gordon Koch, who also created the album’s trippy artwork via Artificial Intelligence, commented on how the project came together:

“NIGHT FISHING is a Heavy Psych/Krautrock improv concept I mulled over during the lockdown period of the initial COVID-19 outbreak. My longtime touring metal band (Call of the Void) had just broken up (December 2019) and my jazz connection had moved out of state so I had no musical prospects while I was held up in my apartment. I wanted to combine elements of improv jazz into a rock format using light song structure to allow for more natural flow of solos, giving each player room to breathe and express themselves. Once the city opened back up a little bit I hit the pavement looking for players. I found 3 friends from the Denver metal scene who were looking for something different and could handle the riffage!

“This EP was recorded live, as both an audio and visual experience, by Chris McNaughton at Rocky Mountain Recorders. We sat in the round with a full camera crew in the studio, led by Alex Pace, to capture the moment and energy, bouncing solos off each other all in one take. I feel like these first songs are a more "live" experience so I wanted the video crew there to allow everyone to join us. We were mostly familiar with all the hits but use a lot of eye contact and musical cues to move things along. This session was a BLAST to record, I think about 4 hours total in the room.”

He elaborated further on their second single “Alone With My Thoughts”, saying:

“This was our first song written as a group that took the NIGHT FISHING idea to fruition. Once we played it live in front of people we knew we had a great formula to expand on.”

'Live Bait' will see an April 21st release on tape, CD and digital formats.

A super limited deluxe, tackle box edition complete with a one-of-a-kind fishing certificate will also be available along with a gently used fishing vessel, limited to 1, for the TRUE DIE-HARDS ONLY!

NIGHT FISHING will be performing a record release show at The Crypt on April 28th in Denver, CO

Pre-Orders are available via Bandcamp HERE and Brutal Panda HERE

GLASSING Drop New Live Video for "Doppler"

Last month saw the release of GLASSING's third studio album, 'Twin Dream'. Today, the band has partnered with Heavy Blog Is Heavy for the exclusive premiere of their live video for the song "Doppler" from the record. Fans can check out the new video, which was directed by Jonny Underwood and filmed at the band's album release show in Austin, TX at Hotel Vegas, below.

Speaking on the live video for "Doppler", the band shares: "There was a lot of premeditation and meticulousness for most of the tracks on 'Twin Dream'. For what it's worth, 'Doppler' was not one of them. It was our intention that it should be crude and unpolished.

They go on to add, "It seemed fitting that 'Doppler's' makeshift structure gave rise to the lyrical content being about the remorselessness of death. Maybe untimely, maybe undeserved, it cannot be changed and is primal in nature. The repeated line 'like a jewel in a bed of fog' alludes to our period of usefulness being smothered behind a veil of expiration."

STREAM/BUY 'Twin Dream' HERE

In addition to their new live video, Glassing/Street Sects member Shaun Ringsmut has a new track out under the moniker Luvencie, which features Dustin Coffman of Glassing on vocals. The new song, titled “Body Debt”, is about evading personal responsibility by means of bodily harm. The themes are rooted in substance abuse, as well as the transferred addictions that come with sobriety. It broods on topics of shame and death. Listen to "Body Debt" here: https://youtu.be/EDGn2wlP4bM

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.

GLASSING Release New Studio Album 'Twin Dream' - WATCH: Music Video for "Spire"

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:

PRE-ORDER 'Twin Dream' HERE

Twin Dream was recorded with Andrew Hernandez (This Will Destroy You, Balmorhea, The Sword, Mammoth Grinder) in a remote Texas studio replete with crumbling infrastructure and the ghosts of country troubadours echoing amongst the walls. 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.

Glassing Release New Single “Burden”

Announce New Album “Twin Dream” Out November 5th via Brutal Panda

Brutal Panda Records have announced a November 5th release date of Twin Dream, the third full-length offering from Austin, TX multidimensional trio GLASSING. The album is a sonic mirror of our era and nothing short of immense, ranging from grim to hopeful to destructive to cathartic, oftentimes all within a single song. Throughout Twin Dream, GLASSING channel multifarious energies that delve deep into the Underland while simultaneously exploring the celestial.

Today the band have released the lead single from the album “Burden,” with RevolverMagazine. Stream the new song alongside the previously released title track HERE: https://smarturl.it/GlassingTwinDreamLP ;

Of the song and album, vocalist/bassist Dustin Coffman says, “This song began when Cory sent Jason and myself a collection of riffs and song ideas during quarantine to work with for when we got back into the studio after finishing up with “Spotted Horse”. Some of them were left as rough ideas but the opening riff of this song in particular stuck out to us as being staggeringly cool in its simplicity. Around this time I was going through some personal changes with people very close to me and the lyrics of this song began strictly as an artistic outlet during a rough period. It was only later, when the poems became lyrics, did I realize my words were all one big projection of my own insecurities at the time. The product of emotional dishonesty, the line “Is your heart not in this” was a message to myself and another hopeless way of making amends. This is the reason I chose to speak the words rather than scream them at the very end of the song, they needed to be crystal clear so the message to myself could be heard.”

Listen to “Slow Beam” 

Atlanta, GA's DEAD NOW, consisting of current and former members of Torche, Riddle of Steel, Tilts and Day Old Man are a veritable power-trio who play dynamic, melodic heavy rock that is best enjoyed LOUD! The band just released “Slow Beam”, their first new song since their self-titled 2018 debut EP. Listen to the track via Metal Sucks HERE. 

The band commented on the new track: 

“Recorded in early March with our main squeeze, Andrew Wiggins, we’re super stoked to share this track. Could’ve and should’ve been on the debut, had it been done, it sits in so well with the other jams. Please play as loud as possible.”  

DEAD NOW are currently getting rad like never before, writing their full-length debut which is tentatively planned for a 2021 release via Brutal Panda Records. In the meantime, the new single has been paired with their debut EP for a limited edition cassette release which is available HERE. 

DEAD NOW have shared the stage with Red Fang, Big Business, Metz, Monolord, Whores., High on Fire and many others. Stay tuned for more info and music from DEAD NOW. 

"a band to watch in the scene who conjure up vibes of ’70s hard rock goodness, with riffing nods to godfathers Tony Iommi and Ritchie Blackmore,with ethereal vocals that are equal parts Ozzy Osbourne and Perry Farrell."  - Consequence of Sound

"Meet your new favorite stoner rock band...Dead Now are a sludgy, buzzy, heavy stoner rock outfit that sounds best when cranked to 11" - Kerrang

"Their debut album, self-titled, brims with promise as the power trio roll through hefty riffs, buzzing noise and melodic vocals." - Decibel Magazine

"a three-piece riff-heavy act that is as concerned with power-pop as it is with woofer-quaking guitars" - Revolver 

"an eclectic brew of fuzzy stoner rock that draws heavily on frontman Andrew Elstner’s past work with Torche, with just enough melodic interplay to keep it on the fun side of the spectrum." - Metal Sucks 

Dead Now is: 

Bobby Theberge, Derek Schulz, Andrew Elstner
