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). 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.

»No Light Ever« is as bleak, brooding, and introspective as the name implies. With premieres and coverage in Decibel, CVLT Nation, Heavy Blog Is Heavy (and more), along with a nomination for ‘Best Metal Artist’ at the 2019 Boston Music Awards, »No Light Ever« has thrown Glacier into the spotlight in the burgeoning international post-metal/rock scene. Having landed on ‘Best Of’ year-end lists at Heavy Blog Is Heavy, WherePostRockDwells, Post Rock Discovery, Totoromoon, Diary Of Doom, and Aural Fixation, »No Light Ever« has cemented Glacier as a force to be reckoned with.
