Official press release:
Glass Casket returns with its first release in 17 years: a brand new, self-titled EP, out June 9th on Silent Pendulum Records. Pre-order here.
From Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Glass Casket features guitarist Dustie Waring and drummer Blake Richardson, both members of Between the Buried and Me.
Back in action now under the Glass Casket banner officially for the first time since 2006, Waring and Richardson are teamed with fellow original members Adam Cody and Sid Menon, along with newest member Wes Hauch (Alluvial, ex-The Faceless).
The quintet have offered up a thrilling taste of things to come, in the form of the upcoming new EP's first single, "Let Them Go." An anthemic slab of death metal groove, replete with mesmerizing flourishes, "Let Them Go" bursts with energy and demands to be played on repeat. It is a sound that will melt the ears of fans of bands such as Whitechapel, Decapitated, Cryptopsy, and of course, BTBAM.
Active in the early '00s, Glass Casket faded from view after the release of its Desperate Man's Diary album in 2006, with Waring and Richardson committing full-time to Between the Buried and Me.
Waring explains the hiatus:
We never really went anywhere. Everyone just kind of had their own lives and plans. Most of the guys were in college at the time and I just wanted to tour and play as much as possible, so Blake and I ended up in BTBAM. When 'Desperate Man's Diary' was recorded, we'd already released 'Alaska' with BTBAM and had a pretty nonstop touring schedule so there were only a few shows played during that period.
In 2014, Waring and Richardson connected with guitarist Hauch and made moves toward reviving Glass Casket.
Waring states:
Back in 2014, Wes Hauch came and stayed with me for about a month and we put together some material with Blake and demo'd out a few things. I guess it just wasn't the right time, so we just sat on it for a while and stored riffs and parts away for when things lined up. Fast forward to about a year ago... Blake started working on some stuff and emailed us ideas. Everything kind of took shape from there and I started demoing guitars just to see where we were at, how the songs made us feel. Everyone was pretty stoked on the material, so Blake tracked his drums at home, I went in and tracked with [producer] Jamie King, Adam came in and did his vocals with Jamie, and Wes tracked his solos at home. Very fast, very easy process for us at this point, and it came out better than expected. It was time.
Cody muses on how the material has evolved since the old days:
The lyrics on this release are the completion of a circle for me. I've waited a long time to release another album with Glass Casket. Our first two albums were full of despair and heartache. The lyrics on this release are full of drive and determination. They focus on dealing with mental illness and overcoming obstacles one day at a time. It also deals with letting go of past tragedies. The ongoing fight we all deal with on a daily basis. No one is above it.
Stand by for more updates about Glass Casket and the upcoming new self-titled EP.

Post Commentit's been forever, like when we were teens y'all were doing like Hellfest 2004
Seventeen years too late. It isn't bad. The excitement just isn't there. I would've been pumped if this was maybe five years from their last LP. Just a huge gap.
Been waiting patiently for 17 f*cking years for this. One of my fav bands and intense lyrics that brought me back to my dark place in my mind (dealing with loss that f*cked me and my life up) Love this band especially this beast of a vocalist, Adam.
Can we write a longer press release for these nobodies next time
You miserable f*cks the lot of youse. Half of you weren't even born when these were around the first time. Sounds good. Some cool shit going on. Hyped for the EP
Band photo, from left to right: - Has grabbed his wife by the upper arm and dragged her out of a Chili's more than once. - Has worn a costume to the Renaissance fair. - Continues to disappoint his parents by living like a human Hellfest DVD. - Selling insurance during the day is just a means to an end. - Still recovering from injuries sustained in an ATV accident.
Do you think we're going to do fewer Mike-Goo jokes if you complain about it, Vote Goo 2024.
This rips - can't wait to check out the rest of the EP. These comments are piss poor.
"Also the goo thing wasn't funny the first time" Fuh Q.
Yesterday was the three year anniversary of "two weeks to flatten the curve." Liberals are retards.
^roofs houses for a living. Couldn't make it past 12th grade.
Yesterday was the three year anniversary of "two weeks to flatten the curve." Liberals are retarded It's challenging to put to words exactly how f*cked you are. You make Ricky from Trailer Park Boys look like a God damn astrophysicist. It's a shame your family wasn't Liberal, cause maybe your mom would have aborted you. Please, soak in ruin and misery for the rest of your gross existence.
^^^ Well 'liberal' or not 2 weeks to flatten the curve turned out a little different…along with the billions made worldwide from this vaccine. If that offends you and you don't like data then you can't be helped. If you think that there is a virus that is going to kill people and put a dent in humanity then you can't be helped. If this shit doesn't actually piss you off and you think wearing a mask and getting a jab is the answer then you can't be helped. Liberal or not, open your f*cking eyes.
I mean the dude's a 'liberal' - of course he's offended Getting the vaccine is a little like buyers remorse. You were really invested, it's cost a lot and you can't return it. You really didn't need it either. Except it's just your life and maybe your families too…
I'd be shocked if you could actually read a proper research study, let alone understand it. Kill yourself.
Pretty forgettable. These dudes weren't even that good to begin with and only had hype back then because 2 guys from btbam were in the band and everything metalcore was being endlessly beat off to
Lmao at at the pink panties wearing posers hyping this garbage up, get a life pussy boys!

I'd be shocked if you could actually read a proper research study, let alone understand it. Kill yourself. Lol, "proper research study", conducted by mentally ill trans groomers like Dr Rachel Levine, fiversity hire Indians, and Only Fan blogger Where's. That's pretty much the liberal pool of expertise right there. Better get back to tweeting about how Elon Musk's jokes keep you awake at night, son.

This actually made me laugh so goddamn hard I ripped ass in front of the homies and now we're all dying.

It's funny they wanna say it's for Decapitated and Cryptopsy fans while they sound absolutely nothing like them. If they did, they wouldn't play boring metalcore w dm influences but actual death metal with rhythm changes, RIFFS and SPEED. Nevermind, early btbam was way more interesting anyway.
I'd like to see any of Ben Shapiro ass eating f*cks get a masters or doctoral degree, I know you don't have the literacy, writing, and executive functioning skills to accomplish this. Please, go back to idolizing Beavis and Butthead and Degeneration X.
What might have been promising was ruined as soon as they let Jamie King touch it. This man's production is like Death Valley, dry and flat.
If you squint a little the guy on the left looks like a face drawn on a stubby penis
A research study funded by big pharma? How much time was put into 'research' and trials before it was released to the public?…and you trust the government? f*ck dude
Go look up Rachel Levine and tell me trust her with your health and future….absolutely pitiful
Nice to see after all these years of being in BTBAM they didn't add in any jazzy, polka parts with silly little sounds going on and terrible whispers. Yes BTBAM sucks now!!
Go look up Rachel Levine and tell me trust her with your health and future….absolutely pitiful You act like one or two people have total control over an entire interdependent network of hundreds of thousands to millions of health care professionals, scientists, and administrators to the point where you disregard the work of this entire community of educated and credible people (again, hundreds of thousands) just because you're looking at 2 or 3 people in the propagandic lens of the culture war that you've been manipulated to use, while obfuscating and claiming others are being manipulated. This is grade a bullshit and cognitive dissonance at its most dangerous level.
The trump gays in the comments really showing how to take a "real" man's poop. Thank God for liberal baby aborters, and that most of you are confined to this garbage website for eternity. Also, the new song is meh.

"^^^^^^ This is the same person who thinks Trump is responsible for everything. Liberals are awful." You just might be the reason why humanity was capped off long ago and why the ET's are camera-shy, you f*cking chode-logged baboon.

united_ninety_three 16 hours ago Pretty forgettable. These dudes weren't even that good to begin with and only had hype back then because 2 guys from btbam were in the band and everything metalcore was being endlessly beat off to Did your mother drink while you were in the womb? This wasn't a side project of BTBAM members. BTBAM had 3/4 of their band exit so they recruited the drummer and guitarist from Glass Casket. Glass Casket was doing fine on their own. They would have been bigger but the singer lost his sister so they went hiatus. One could make the argument BTBAM wouldn't be as big if it weren't for the members of Glass Casket joining them. You wouldn't have Alaska which is arguably their best album.
I'll say what Michael Knowles didn't say, eradicate transgenderism. Forget the ideology. Eliminate the source.
It's impossible for this leftist to stop the personal attacks long enough to explain the origin of covid. Wet markets right Couldn't make it past 12th grade. Roofs houses or some other crap job for a living. Focuses on conspiracy theories to try and compensate for lack of intelligence and/or initiative in life. You are fooling no one, loser. But yeah, let's talk about covid origin theories long after pandemic is over because you have no other talking points that you've been fed. This is why no girls like you, dork.
^ Liberal cuck goes dumb hard in the comments. Uses big words to sound academic and credible. You losers can't wait to leave Covid in the past because you bought the lie and chose the wrong path. Keep simping for Pfizer, your blood will soon be clotting. Wear a mask.

Keep simping for Pfizer, your blood will soon be clotting. Wear a mask." conspiracy, compensate, intelligence, initiative, theories, pandemic Those are the biggest words in his post. The fact that you consider those 'big words to show he's academic' truly reveals how f*cking dumb you are. You are 100% a total beta smoothbrain motherf*cker, please educate yourself and get out of the hole you've dug for yourself. Your family and friends and coworkers cant stand you. You're a jackass.
I thought liberals were the counter culture? Sounds like they simp for big government. "WHERE MY MONEY MASSA?!" "PLEASE MY I HAVE ANOTHA MASSA!" "JUMP? HOW HIGH MASSA?" LOL. f*cking pathetic sheeple.
