The album was produced by Glasgow Kiss, and mixed & mastered by Peter Michelsen (Rat City, Madelene, Byting) at The Norwegian Sound studio.

“Joining Eclipse Records means joining a legacy of powerful rock and metal music”, says drummer Frode Andreassen. “We’re honored and ready to deliver”! Guitarist Daniel Anker-Goli adds: “As soon as we were contacted by Eclipse Records, we were excited by the idea of working with them. We are quite happy to sign with them and look forward to releasing our new album”. Lead vocalist Charlotte Marlen Midtun continues: “We’re beyond stoked to join the Eclipse Records family… it’s time to turn things up to eleven”!

Guitarist Sveinung Sveen adds: “New label. New energy. Same rock spirit. Thanks to Eclipse Records for believing in us”! Finally, bassist John Erik Soltvedt says: “We are delighted to sign a record-deal with Eclipse Records and we are really looking forward to working with them. Hopefully this will be the start of a long and good relationship”.

“Down in Flames”, by Glasgow Kiss is a burst of sweet dichotomy, altered reflections, foils, doppelgangers, and visions of the self through enchanting and fractured perspectives. First off, the lyrics are devastating portraits of loneliness, toxicity, grief and loss, desire and darkness. The contrast; however, is the rhythm guitar sound: a bold power-rock groove that launches us into the stratosphere, almost as if the band first tempts us to make love with our own misery, just to shake it off and rock ‘til we drop. In conjunction with the band’s overall theme of aesthetic duality, lead vocalist Charlotte Marlen Midtun puts on a clinic of tonal dynamics and emotional depth.

From captivating soaring high range to powerful gritty belting to delicate passages in the mid-range, her remarkable range makes for a compelling emotional performance. All things considered, Glasgow Kiss offer us “Down in Flames” so we can relate to their sorrow and share in their joy. They prove to us that the two opposite viewpoints can live simultaneously, that both can be true, that both make a beautiful, delicate balance. We can confide in Glasgow Kiss. We come to them with our demons, and they give us a safe space. We include them in our victories and they high-five us when we all reach the top of the mountain. The album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Peter Michelsen at The Norwegian Sound studio. “Down in Flames” features cover art designed by Frode Andreassen and Sveinung Sveen, and it is scheduled for release on December 12th, 2025.
