CD/DVD Releases: Glass Hammer Release ''Cor Cordium'' Oct 25

Seems like this is going to be a busy late summer and fall, given the number of releases that are coming from our prog, prog metal and not-prog-metal-but-we-like-em-anyway-metal bands. Falling into that first category is Glass Hammer who will release Cor Cordium on October 25.

A visit to the band's website reveals: Cor Cordium is Glass Hammer's 2011 follow-up to last year's highly acclaimed IF, an album which found its place in numerous Top 10 and Best of 2010 lists throughout the prog world. To keep the momentum going from last year’s success, singer Jon Davison and guitarist Alan Shikoh return with Glass Hammer co-founders Steve Babb and Fred Schendel to create the band’s fourteenth studio album.

"We never set out to make IF Volume 2," reveals Babb. "But we are definitely heading in the same direction musically. Fans that loved IF are going to be equally excited about Cor Cordium."

Featuring six tracks, including the highly addictive "Salvation Station," the epic-length "To Someone" and the climactic "She, A Lonely Tower;" art work and a 16 page full-color layout by artist Tom Kuhn and audiophile mastering by Bob Katz of Digital Domain.

Glass Hammer are:

Fred Schendel: keyboards, steel guitar, backing vocals
Steve Babb: bass guitar, keyboards, backing vocals
Jon Davison: lead vocals, acoustic guitars
Alan Shikoh: guitars (electric and acoustic), sitar>/p>
