Glorious - Unashamed

     What do you get when a couple of Metalcore bands step outside their comfort zone of growls, squeals and downtuned guitars and start playing some angry fun Punk tunes? Well you get what sounds like Imperial Leather! ha ha ha Or in this case, you get a band called Glorious, who's debut album called Unashamed is kicking up a ruckus on both sides of the pond and for good reason. Comprised of members of the bands Employed To Serve and Renounced, Glorious is a refreshing throwback to a time when Punk was just getting tinged by the whole Metal crossover thing which bands like D.R.I.,  Agnostic Front , and COC jumped on so shamelessly. The guitars got meaner and thicker and fuller sounding, and it became OK to let your hair grow long. Yuck. Unashamed has all that going for it and more; thick, monster sounding guitar riffs with a fast and furious rhythm section that can speed things up when needed or drop the pace down to a crawl when ordered, sometimes all within the same song. The female vocals make it all stand head and shoulders above everyone else that sounds like this, and the production on this album makes it sound most excellent when played at a ridiculously loud volume. The title track and the song Myself are worth the price of admission alone, and they throw on a fun but unnecessary cover of Type O Negative's I Don't Wanna Be Me at the end of this 5 song EP just for shits and giggles, and it goes along well with all the other songs that came before it. This is a pretty good first release from Glorious. Looking forward to hearing some more stuff from them in the not too distant future I hope. If you're into some hard hitting stuff like The Bronx, or Git Some, or maybe even The Fumes if you remember them, then check out Glorious and see what you think. It's pretty good stuff. 😎


Available from Church Road Records, and on lovely yellow vinyl right here if you're quick and lucky enough to grab one. Also available digitally on the Church Road Records Bandcamp page by clicking here.
