Glacier (Official)

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.
