GLASS HAMMER GOES ROGUE WITH April 11th RELEASE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Hammer\u2019s Rogue spins the tale of one man\u2019s fateful, final journey. He leaves everything he knows behind,? explains composer Steve Babb. And thinks he\u2019s returning to a place where he once knew happiness, but in reality, his odyssey will sweep him away to somewhere completely unexpected.? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babb explains that the ten-song album explores themes of regret, heartache, and the mortal salience that comes with age. Life is fleeting,? he continues. It\u2019s a heavy topic for an album, but the music isn\u2019t as heavy as our last few releases. Rogue is much more like the Glass Hammer albums our fans refer to as classic.?    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And who\u2019s in the lineup? It\u2019s no secret that Glass Hammer reinvents itself every few albums,? says Babb. It\u2019s happened again! This time with a lot of new faces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogue features performances by Fred Schendel, Reese Boyd, and David Wallimann (GH guitarist 2006-2010). Vocalists Thomas Jakob (Netherlands) and Olivia Tharpe (USA) are new to the band. They\u2019re joined by guitarist Oliver Day (UK), keyboardist Ariel Perchuck (Argentina), drummer Evgeni Obruchkov (Poland), and others. It\u2019s an international cast of characters,? Babb points out. ?A super-talented group that our fans are sure to love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hour-long Rogue is Glass Hammer\u2019s twenty-second studio album. Fans can pre-order autographed copies, t-shirts and downloads on the band\u2019s website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
