GLASSING‘s latest video for ‘Way Out’ shows off what may be the band’s best side: the live stage. Interspersed between fascinating Rorschach-like mirrored visuals, we see the band ripping away against a simple backdrop – swaying in headbanging unison, jaws clenched and veins bulging as they belt out the track ‘Way Out.'” — Revolver Magazine

Austin, Texas-based blackened post-hardcore trio GLASSING is pleased to unveil their new performance video for “Way Out.” Now playing courtesy of Revolver Magazine, the track comes by way of the band’s Spotted Horse full-length, out now via Brutal Panda Records.

Writes Revolver of the release, “GLASSING combines post-metalisms with black-metal blasts, gaining comparisons to modern favorites like Sumac, Pelican, 5ive, early Cave In, and Sannhet – touches of post-rock, prog, doom, and hardcore all exist in the ether, but never stick around long enough to grab hold. The trio’s most recent offering is Spotted Horse – an overflowing cornucopia of monolithic riffs that sail with intensity, get broken up with destructive blasts and then head back to the riff once more. Above all, the band keeps in tight and interesting for the 40-plus minute journey, avoiding the 100-percent gloom route for an air of hopefulness and a heaping helping of melody.”

Adds the band of the track, “‘Way Out’ is the humanity we avow, a confession to the pursuit of our own nihility.”

Recorded with Andrew Hernandez at Estuary Recording Facility in Austin, with cover art by This Will Destroy You’s Chris King, Spotted Horse is, at its core, a construction of dynamic, beautifully unsettling soundscapes, and nothingness unsurfaced at once pulsing and punishing. GLASSING seamlessly fuses elements of black metal and post-hardcore with ambient explorations, dream-pop sensibilities, and grinding walls of sound that defy categorization. Fans of Deafheaven, Oathbreaker, Envy, Birds In Row, Astronoid, Alcest, Sigur Ros, and This Will Destroy You, pay heed.

Spotted Horse is out now via Brutal Panda on LP and digital formats. For orders, go to THIS LOCATION where the record can be streamed in its entirety.

“…a unique amalgam of suffocating textures, crushing blast beats, and black metal-inspired atmosphere.” – Decibel

“From their wailing guitars to their staccato rhythms to their hollered vocals, GLASSING finds the sweet spot between Deftones, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Big Black, and drive a spike deep into it so that fans can hear the raw sonic substance that bubbles forth.” – Kerrang

“…an emotional journey through dense textures and the illusion of hope… Fans of the heavier side of post-rock, the atmospheric side of post-hardcore, and the emotional side of black metal should find plenty to get lost in here.” – Heavy Blog Is Heavy

Massive and entrancing, Spotted Horse is a one-of-a-kind achievement within its genre.” – New Noise

“Clearly a crossover between hardcore, black metal, and post-metal, this nebulous genre space means less in nomenclature than it does in emotional depth. Borrowing the most climactic elements from each style, GLASSING penned ‘Follow Through’ to lift you out of your conscious thought-stream into a more dreamlike state.” – Invisible Oranges

“Blackgaze hardcore is probably the simplest appellation for something like this, but doesn’t tell the whole story. Spotted Horse is a beguiling mix of Alcest, KEN Mode, (early) Norma Jean, and Converge.” – Wonderbox Metal

“Spotted Horse is a deeply stirring experience that seems to exist at some strange crossroads between Converge’s Jane Doe and Explosions In The Sky. Powerful performances, calculated songwriting, and excellent production choices all add up to GLASSING knocking this one completely out of the stratosphere. More AOTY material.” – Metal Trenches

“The ebb and flow of harsh noises and feedback juxtaposed with gentle passages of delayed guitars makes for an endlessly exciting listen….The combination of black metal, post-hardcore, and ambient noise make for a listen perfect for fans of Deafheaven or Oathbreaker, and Spotted Horse will be one of the standout releases in its genre this year.” – Ghost Cult

“The variety and disparity of emotions represented throughout Spotted Horse make it one of the most memorable and dynamic albums of the year…” – Everything Is Noise

“In a modern musical landscape where subgenres collide into uneasy blends calling attention to their construction, a band melding multiple influences into a seamless whole counts as damn near revolutionary. Incorporating strains of post-rock, noise rock, math rock, black metal, and ambient music, GLASSING doesn’t lean definitively toward any of those styles, but stands sure-footed on its amalgamated foundation.” – The Austin Chronicle

“…the satisfying mix of slow ambiance, mid-tempo shoegaze, and aggressive post-hardcore make it memorable in a way few albums manage to be. GLASSING have created an album which carved out a spot in my mind where it’s going to stay for a long time.” – Nine Circles

“…a simultaneously serene and jagged work, weaving its influences and strengths into a complex palette of meditation and devastation.” – Angry Metal Guy
