Glacier - Glacier (40th anniversary) [Orange]

Glacier's self-titled mini-album is a monument to classic American heavy metal with a biting vintage touch. Initially going unnoticed in 1985 when released by French label Ax Killer Records, this musical artifact has become a cult classic, adored by discerning metal aficionados nostalgic for the raw authenticity of traditional American metal. Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, High Roller Records are releasing a limited edition of just 400 copies for collectors and die-hard fans - an orange vinyl pressing nestled in a heavy 425gsm cardboard sleeve, complete with a 4-page booklet, poster and A5 card.



Featuring the vocal talents of Michael Podyrbau, Keith Flax and Rex McNew, Glacier delivers visceral tracks that have stood the test of time. "Live For The Whip", with its raw energy, was the band's first recorded song and laid the foundation for their later classic tracks: "Ready For Battle", "Devil In Disguise" and "Speak No Evil". The album features complex narratives that pair perfectly with its powerful riffs and thunderous percussion.



The atmosphere that Glacier captured in the mid-'80s remains electrifying, thanks in part to Patrick W. Engel's meticulous restoration and audio mastering at TEMPLE OF DISHARMONY. The fiery tension and power evident in every beat has been brought vividly to life, making this reissue a meaningful sonic experience.



As Glacier prepares new titles, this 40th anniversary edition revisits a pivotal era in heavy metal history. This release is both a nostalgic nod and a collectible gem, reminding listeners of the band's deep influence and enduring legacy in the metal genre.
