Glass Hammer – Perilous (2012)

When Yes added Jon Davison of Glass Hammer as its new lead singer, that didn’t mean the end of his prog band. In fact, Glass Hammer is at work on a new album between legs of the on-going Yes tour in support of 2011?s Fly From Here — with Davison again on vocals.Yes has even allowed Glass Hammer albums to be sold at its most recent string of concerts, which resume on July 19, 2012. Every album that Davison autographs is another potential new fan for the grass-roots American prog-rock outfit, which is subsidizing its own new recording.

“Metallic Taste Of Blood brings together arch six-string experimentalist Eraldo Bernocchi with Porcupine Tree bassist Colin Edwin, percussive noise soldier Balazs Pandi and keyboardist and avant-jazz alumni Jamie Saft. An intriguing collaboration in theory, and even more mind-boggling in practice. It’s a dark and maze-like scramble through ever-changing instrumental soundscapes” (Prog)
