Glare Of The Sun
Back to Overview
Artist Information
On their third album “TAL”, GLARE OF THE SUN pursue the approach of taking their listeners on an musical journey through premonitions and the intangible. It is not surprising that the concept of the record is based on both resignation and confidence. After all, the songs juxtapose extremes that interact with each other, are mutually dependent and form a larger whole in their interplay. Founded in 2013, the band with members from Austria and Germany moves in the shallows and soundscapes between prog, post, shoegaze and doom metal. More important than the question of the styles used is the question of the effect - both in the obvious and the subtle. Like on their previous two albums, “Soil” (2017) and “Theia” (2019), the compositions of “TAL” demand attention from their listeners, running deep and revealing their secrets over time. With a world in ruins, there comes a new sun. This is the evolution which “TAL” is all about. Intense and relentless, “TAL” is an immersive experience through sonic landscapes and contrasting atmospheres. On its third full length, GLARE OF THE SUN combine orchestral layers with heavy guitars and vocals, creating an emotional listening experience with lots of dynamics and details to discover. Guest vocals are provided by J.J. (Harakiri For The Sky, Karg) and Maffi (Collapse7, ex-Pungent Stench). Partly recorded by Martin Schirenc (Pungent Stench) and at their own studios, “TAL” was mixed and mastered by Jan Oberg (ex-The Ocean, Earthship, Grin) at the Hidden Planet Studio Berlin. The new album also recreates the live sound of GLARE OF THE SUN, which has been another goal of the band when working on “TAL”.
