Bio:

The band Glacier was formed in 1979 by guitarist Sam Easley, with the name, suggested by fellow guitarist Patrick Goebel, derived from a street name at Black Butte Ranch in Oregon.The band released a three song demo, Ready for Battle, in 1984 with the lineup consisting of Easley and Goebel on guitars, Tim Proctor on bass, Loren Bates on drums, and vocalist Michael Podrybau.The following year, Glacier released their first five song, self-titled EP, Glacier, on AxeKiller Records, which featured the original band members, along with guest vocalists Rex McNew and Keith Flax.Then, in 1988 Glacier released a second demo that presented a significant lineup change, as it only included band-members Goebel and Bates from the original demo. The remaining band was comprised of Troy Ketsdever on bass, Mehdi Farjami on guitars, and session vocalist Tim Lachman. Two years later, in 1990, Glacier disbanded and became a distant legend in the chronicles of heavy metal...or so it seemed.More than 30 years passed before Glacier began to rise again. In 2015, on Christmas Day, three digital singles were released, to include "Sands of Time," an instrumental rehearsal from 1985, "Vendetta," a re-release of the original 1985 recording, and also a remastered version of "Vendetta" as well. Sadly, 9 months later Sam Easley passed away.In November of 2016, organizers of the Keep It True metal festival in Germany announced that the band Devil in Disguise, a Glacier tribute band led by former vocalist Michael Podrybau, and consisting of Alfonso Polo "Poncho" Cuevas on bass (and touring bassist Greg Bruchert), Michael Mendoza and Michael Maselbas on guitars, and drummer Adam Kopecky, would perform live at the sold out Keep It True XX in the spring of 2017. Podrybau, backed by Bruchert, Mendoza, Maselbas, and Kopecky, played a full set of Glacier songs that had not been performed live in almost 32 years.Receiving an abundance of positive accolades, Devil in Disguise continued to perform throughout 2017, playing Chicago's Legions of Metal festival in May, and opening for Doro in mid-September. At this point in time, Devil in Disguise was comprised of Michael Maselbas, Michael Mendoza, Alfonso Cuevas, Adam Kopecky, and Michael Podrybau.On January 8, 2018, with the approval of Glacier's surviving original band members, Devil in Disguise announced that they would recommence under the name Glacier. The lineup again changed with the departure of guitarist Michael Mendoza, who was replaced by Ryan Bruchert, and bassist Alfonso Cuevas, who was succeeded by Marco Martell.In May of 2018, former original band member Tim Proctor, joining Maselbas, Martell, Bruchert, Kopecky, and Podrybau, made a guest appearance on stage during Glacier's set at Seattle's NW Metal Fest. Later that month, Glacier traveled to Athens, Greece to perform at Up the Hammers XII, and in October the band visited fans in South America for the first time, playing at Jaguar Fest in Bogotá, Colombia. While Maselbas, Martell, Bruchert, Kopecky, and Podrybau made a phenomenal team, upon returning to the United States, Ryan Bruchert announced his departure from Glacier, and Marco Martell made a shift from bass to guitar.In August of 2019, Glacier played Germany's Trveheim Festival, and they performed in the Netherlands at the Heavy Metal Maniacs Festival in mid September. Later in October, the band headlined a mini tour of the Pacific Northwest with support from Riot City, Gatekeeper, Road Rash, Silver Talon, and Sölicitör. Other shows are currently in the planning stages. The band has also finished recording a new full length album, The Passing of Time, scheduled for an October 2020 release, so prepare yourself for the next onslaught from Glacier.

Album:

There is no better way to ease the no-concerts pain other than spinning a brand new record that carries all the power and the glory to make you daydream about intense headbanging in a live setting. The kind of record you’ll want to revisit countless times and feel the power of the amps blasting at full volume making your blood boiling hot. Look no further, because the US Heavy / Power metallers GLACIER (or DEVIL IN DISGUISE, 2016-2018) have your back with their first full length, “The Passing Of Time”, that is about to see the light of day in a couple of weeks . No, this is not some young band and, in fact, GLACIER have been around since the early ‘80s, with two demos, a couple of singles and an EP under their belt. Thanks to the interest of the underground community, GLACIER were reactivated following the DEVIL IN DISGUISE performance at 2017’s ‘Keep It True’ festival that METAL KAOZ had the pleasure to attend.From the STRIKER-esque “Eldest And Truest” all the way to the MAIDEN-laden (think of pyramids and pharaohs) “The Temple And The Tomb”, GLACIER sound like a young and hungry band without any background, and I do recognize that this may be partially true, as Michael Podrybau is the only original member. It is like bridging the old with the new to deliver the powerful ‘80s-inspired songwriting and Michael’s stellar singing with a crystal-clear production (there was no such thing back in the day). Whatever the explanation, you will feel the power and the energy surge when playing the record at maximum volume from the guitar hooks and melodies, and you’ll relate to the “it’s in the blood” line, melodically sung by Michael in the album opener. Make sure to note the masterful transition in the guitars from epic to fast and back to epic again, being the most appropriate canvas to GLACIER’s blast-from-the-past, nostalgic painting.There are two tracks that were originally written some thirty-plus years ago, being one more link between past and present; the hard-banger “Live For The Whip” (you should have heard this one if you had caught DEVIL IN DISGUISE onstage in 2017) and the melancholic “Sands Of Time” (previously released as an instrumental rehearsal / single). I am not talking about a sloppy face-lifting done in the studio on some dusty masters, but actual re-recordings by the current line-up with the contribution of original GLACIER members Tim Proctor (bass) and Loren Bates (drums). If I had not read that in the press release, I would have counted them as brand-new compositions. And what about the new(er) tracks? Well, there is the riff-driven, instant favorite “Ride Out”, the raise-your-horns True Metal hymn “Valor”, the take-no-prisoners double bass drum assault “Into The Night” and the anthemic “Infidel” with the awesome Steve Harris-inspired bass sound. All these tracks wear the ‘80s sound with pride, and I will credit the mighty combo of Michael’s clear, epic type of singing and the NWOBHM guitars for this.Topped off with an old school cover artwork, the 8-track album is made with all the ingredients at the right portions to satisfy the most demanding Metal palate. It is not an overstatement to say that “The Passing Of Time” can be considered as the logical continuation to the “Glacier” EP, and does not really care about the... passing of time. This is what I call a proper comeback and it should not be missed.
