Hailing from Austin, Glassing combine 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.
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 belts out the track "Way Out."
