Texas doom metal outfit Glassing have released a new single from their upcoming studio album, Twin Dream. The new track, titled "Absolute Virtue", is out now on major streaming/digital platforms.

Speaking about the new single, the band comments: "This track is about humanity's slow burn to extinction. The question of where do we find the will to persist as things just get worse? The title 'Absolute Virtue' describes this very crucial, hidden spiritedness that guides our self-preservation."

Glassing's third full-length studio offering, Twin Dream, will see a November 5, 2021 release via Brutal Panda Records. The album is a sonic mirror of our modern era, and nothing short of immense; ranging from grim to hopeful to destructive to cathartic, and oftentimes all within a single song. Throughout Twin Dream, Glassing channels multifarious energies that delve deep into the Underland while simultaneously exploring the celestial.

Glassing will play a special album release show on Sunday, November 13th at Hotel Vegas in Austin, TX.

Twin Dream was recorded with Andrew Hernandez (This Will Destroy You, Balmorhea, The Sword, Mammoth Grinder) in a remote Texas studio replete with crumbling infrastructure and the ghosts of country troubadours echoing amongst the walls. Elements of post-hardcore, black metal, noise rock, ambient, shoegaze, and doom swirl together to create a rich palette of mood and textures across 11 tracks that ruminate on splintered realities, altered consciousness, and esoteric philosophy. While the world burned on the outside, the music took on an entirely new meaning and those that survived the nightmare were left with a newfound sense of hope amongst the bleak reality. Twin Dream is the archetypal soundtrack to these end of times.
