Journey of
the Dunadan
The first release from Glass Hammer features an epic concept story based on
Tolkien's Lord of the Rings stories, smooth production, impeccable
musicianship and breathtaking solos. Harmony Magazine in
Perelandra
Glass Hammer's second disc (based
loosely on C.S. Lewis's Narnia and "fairy tales
for adults" series) showed even more maturity, a cooler musical tone, and
long sweeping instrumental sections. A strong sense of melody is a Glass Hammer
trademark and it's present here in spades...This is a
virtual demo disc for your sound system...one of the best progressive rock albums
ever. Alan Parsons should be jealous. The Spanish magazine Lunar Suite
wrote that "Glass Hammer possesses the clarity and positiveness
of Yes, and the majesty of ELP. In order to live out a thousand magical
experiences put it in your player, press play and let your imagination do the
rest!"
Live and Revived
Live and Revived is BACK IN PRINT! The
third Glass Hammer release was originally a limited-edition run of 1000 copies
for the real fanatics (like your obedient webmaster) who simply couldn't wait
for the next full length GH epic. Featuring live rehearsal tracks from Perelandra and Journey of the Dunadan
as well as unrecorded material from the period just after Journey was released, the album has an irreverent, carefree feel to it
as well as featuring some scorching playing from all concerned. Due to an ever
growing demand for its re-release, Live and Revived is back -- and here to stay
On to Evermore
The fourth epic Glass Hammer release features Walter on lead vocals for the
first time, with the rest of the band at their usual sweeping, grandiose best.
Impeccable production, a highly narrative storyline, and incredibly tight
musicianship and songwriting make this one of the
best Glass Hammer releases yet. The seventeen-minute epic "Arianna" has to be heard to be believed
Chronometree
The celebrated fifth album from Glass Hammer is a throwback to the 70's, with
lots of vintage keyboards and a pretentious concept story...about nothing. Want

The Middle-earth Album
Glass Hammer's sixth album is a remarkable
achievement: a live recording of the band's journey to J.R.R. Tolkien's
Middle-earth, where they performed at Butterbur's Prancing Pony Inn.
LEX REX
"The last years we have noticed that every new Glass Hammer album shows a
real progression in the band's style and quality. Their previous album Chronometree got a lot of credits, but now they have
delivered a CD that belongs at the absolute top. LEX REX is a concept album,
one long piece of detailed and melodic Sympho Prog, powerful and with a lot of influences from the
seventies. Screaming Hammond and Moog solos, soaring steel guitar leads, mellotron tapestries, a crunching bass guitar, rich vocals
etc. in the vein of Yes, Genesis and ELP. A real
masterpiece!" -- Arthur Haggenburg - SymfoCity Reviews
Shadowlands
Glass Hammer's Shadowlands delivers everything that
modern progressive rock should be: the vintage sounds, the contemporary
production, the epic style.
