CD/DVD Releases: Glass Hammer To Release 'If' September 14
Glass Hammer have a new CD coming out September 14 called If. Pre-orders are being accepted now, and all orders received through September 13 will autographed. Festival Music's sister site, ProgRock.co.uk, also has this item available for pre-order (not autographed); about If they say: "Glass Hammer is back with a brand new lineup and an album of epic-length prog tracks. The 2010 release If marks the band's return to classic symphonic-progressive rock; an album sure to please fans of the group's earlier releases Chronometree, Lex Rex and The Inconsolable Secret. Pipe organs, Hammond solos, Moogs, Mellotrons - all the trademark sounds are back in place.
"With the addition of vocalist Jon Davison, jazz-rock guitarist Alan Shikoh and session drummer Randall Williams, Glass Hammer co-founders Steve Babb and Fred Schendel have 'hit the reset button' and taken their music to an entirely new level. The sixty-six minute opus features six tracks, culminating in the twenty-four minute long 'If The Sun,' mastering by the legendary Bob Katz."
Glass Hammer's previous release, Three Cheers For The Broken Hearted was released just last year.
