Glassing - From The Other Side Of The Mirror LP
With From The Other Side Of The Mirror, Austin experimental heavyweights Glassing deliver their most punishing and emotionally devastating album to date. Emerging from the famously genre defying underground scene of Austin, Texas, the band continues to blur the boundaries between post-metal, hardcore, black metal, noise rock and atmospheric heaviness.
Since the release of their 2017 debut Light and Death, Glassing have steadily evolved into one of the most unpredictable and emotionally intense bands in modern heavy music. Their subsequent albums Spotted Horse and Twin Dream, alongside the crushing Dire and Sulk EP, paved the way for this ambitious and deeply personal new chapter.
Recorded over two turbulent years and described by the band as a series of “Hell Weeks,” From The Other Side Of The Mirror channels frustration, pain and psychological disorientation into an uncompromising sonic experience. Produced once again by longtime collaborator Andrew Hernandez, the album strips away conventional structure in favor of pure emotional expression and sonic extremity.
The result is a relentless collision of blast beats, jagged riffs, walls of distortion and suffocating atmosphere. Dustin Coffman’s desperate screams cut through layers of chaotic instrumentation while moments of haunting ambience and post-rock melancholy provide brief flashes of fragile beauty beneath the overwhelming heaviness.
More discordant, distorted and emotionally raw than anything the band has created before, From The Other Side Of The Mirror captures Glassing at their most fearless and uncompromising. It is both emotionally exhausting and strangely cathartic, an album that embraces imperfection, vulnerability and chaos as essential parts of the human experience.
Released on Pelagic Records, this LP is essential listening for fans of boundary-pushing heavy music and emotionally charged experimental metal.
