But it\u2019s relevant as well,? he continues.  There\u2019s always a deeper story hidden within every concept album we\u2019ve ever done. This one is no different.? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> There is plenty of the &#8216;classic&#8217; <strong>Glass Hammer<\/strong> sound on the album, but also some electronic pieces as we&#8217;ve done in the past. Our new vocalist fronts most of the songs, which is a little different for us, but I think fans will approve. They&#8217;ll hear a lot of metal-influenced prog, something we really love of late. Fans never know what to expect from us, what new direction we\u2019ll be going in. But I\u2019ll tell you upfront, there is far more <em>hammer<\/em> than <em>glass<\/em> on our 2021 release!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The video not only shows off the new album cover but a new lead vocalist as well. Singer, <strong>Hannah Pryor<\/strong>, joins <strong>Steve Babb<\/strong>, <strong>Fred Schendel<\/strong>, <strong>Aaron Raulston<\/strong>, and GH session guitarists <strong>Reese Boyd<\/strong> and<strong> Brian Brewer<\/strong> for the band\u2019s twenty-first studio album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My own first opinions are of music that broods with an ancient, primeval power, <strong>Glass Hammer<\/strong> raising the (heavy) bar to even greater heights on an album that is sure to be a monster success from this evergreen band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yr0WuMIXyRY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Band photo credit: <strong>Julie Babb<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glass Hammer returns to the world of the Dreaming City with the follow-up album, &#8220;SKALLAGRIM \u2013 INTO THE BREACH.?
