Post-Metal Collective GLACIER Announce New Album A DISTANT, VIOLENT SHUDDER With New Song/Video Released From Upcoming New Album

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 unbealievable 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.

The record is being released by Wolves & Vibrancy in Europe and Post. Recordings in North America. Preorders are live here for Europe and here for North America
