Always 2:47 sends a chill of wonder across the head, hell the riff of bliss.

[damienking100]

[crave136]

Great song. Really!

[ThePriestofMadness]

RexMcNew your singing really kicks ass!!! That's awesome you guys were part of these glorious times. Very cool that you are still pumped up to ROCK! Do you or Vendetta have a facebook?

[Pathstalker]

300 likes, This is Sparta, like 300 mettalers against corrupted ones, hehehe...

[Signofevil]

:) Just got the Glacier Demo on ebay few days ago. :) :) :)

[RATDAT3]

Yea, I talked to Loren awhile back and he would like to see a "ReUnion" tour with ALL the members that were in Glacier. I think that it would be great--now to get a promoter to foot the bill...........Rock on Rex, Pat, Loren, and Timmo!

[RexMcNew]

Rex McNew, here, Lead Vocalist on "Vendetta". Thanks for all the support everyone, much appreciated.. The writing on this song is truly amazing. Loren Bates (drummer), Tim Proctor (bass player), and Mike Podrybau (lead vocalist), (ALL PART OF THE GLACIER LINE UP) are joining forces with me on a new recording project. There are several other musicians involved, and the finished product is going to be great. Will keep you posted. Thanks A whole lot to Todd, Brian and Christopher. Best, Rebel Rex.

[ArenaRockPhotos]

Hey Guys, this is Patrick - original guitarist and co-founder of Glacier. I'm blown away by all the comments here, to think that this music is still relevent to people 25 years after it was written is amazing. Thank you all for the sincere comments. To give you some info I'm talking to a guy in Florida about releasing the EP on CD. Need to solidify things and run it by the guys-so stay tuned. Also, check out a website I just launced with my concert photography ArenaRockPhotosdotcom.

[RexMcNew]

@ArenaRockPhotos Working on 40,000 plays Patrick. Lets rock!

[aztecterrorism]

Bad ass lyrics, EPIC production.

[steelwizard]

fucking great man!

[TheNightseagull]

I like it....haunting....

like when summer turns to autumn...

[steelwizard]

@TheNightseagull

Absolutely. I could listen to this all day. Incredible song

[TheEvilBaron]

This song is sadly one of my favorite heavy metal songs... sadly, because this band is not currently touring with Iron Maiden.

[Signofevil]

@TheEvilBaron Luckily they aren't, cause they would put the actual Maidens to disgrace. Glacier had such a incredible high potential. Sadly they never made it.

[bodowen]

I cut and pasted the lyrics - not sure why the first verse didn't format correctly but at least it's all there.

[triplounas]

@bodowen classic masterpiece !

[bodowen]

VENDETTA VERSE 1: When we come out of the dark we'll be looking for you Come face to face it's a race for your life better run There's nothing else you can do We're coming up from behind and moving in for attack Your golden dreams now it seems that they're slipping away And fading into black CHORUS: Restless we wait in the night Hiding away from the light – so watch out Nowhere to run – nowhere to hide Restless we wait – we wait in the night

[bodowen]

VERSE 2:

Swift run the sands of your life but in your hour of pain

You've got to stifle your screams tell yourself it's a dream

To keep from going insane

You're trapped inside of the truth and there is no escape

It's time that you realize you're out of alibis

How much more can you take?

REPEAT CHORUS

[bodowen]

VERSE 3:

Now you owe me your life and I have come to collect

You've got nothing to prove but this is one move

That you are going to regret

I watch you running in fear – my bullet carries your name

Vengeance pounds in my head - won't stop until you are dead

And you have tasted the pain

REPEAT CHORUS



[wagnerfrost]

fudidooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooo maravilhoso

[Signofevil]

According to a mail from Rex McNew the Glacier EP will be finally released on CD. Hope it's true and all you followers will be supporting the re-release.

[RATDAT3]

@Signofevil

I just talked to Rex last night---he didnt mention the cd coming out. But we are working on a song for Japan that will be a benefit and all proceeds will go to them. Also Mike Podrybau--other singer for Glacier will contribute as well as Loren (drums) and Tim (bass). I will keep everyone posted when its ready.

[Signofevil]

@RATDAT3 well, i only posted what Rex wrote me in a mail 'Glacier is finally being released on CD'. But anyway, great to see that there is something new coming. :)

[RATDAT3]

@Signofevil

Yeah, I'll call him and find out, but the new stuff is totally different and not a Glacier song---just a few of the players.....

[RexMcNew]

@RATDAT3 Yes sir!

[RexMcNew]

@Signofevil It's true!

[bodowen]

Hi, I'm Tim. I was the bass player in Glacier from 1983-1985. You can see me on the far right at 3:42 and also at the end of the song. I wrote or cowrote all 5 songs on this record and designed the cover (which was painted by the talented David Delamare.) I think I still have 2 copies. It's really cool to see all the great comments. We wrote some songs after this album which sadly never got recorded that were absolutely mind-blowing. I will always have fond memories of playing with this band.

[666thrashmaster]

@bodowen sir i just have to say that im pissed you guys didnt get really popular i wish there could be way more of this but atleast theres something for the fans

[Signofevil]

@bodowen Hi Tim, thank you for your informations! always nice to see when former bandmembers pop in to see their own old stuff. Especially nice in the underground if they also see the positive aspect of these posts.

[zabozix]

@bodowen

hi ! amazing! can i have lyrics to this song please :(

[bodowen]

@zabozix

I am happy to oblige but YouTube comments have a 500 character limit so I'll have to break it into chunks. I will post them in reverse so they come out in the correct order (I hope.) Cheers!

[6ftandbeyond]

@bodowen this song is a classic u should be very proud

[RexMcNew]

@bodowen Tim rocks!

[The666Slayer]

@bodowen so what happened to the recordings?

[nirvanaunpluged]

@bodowen Its bands like you guys that inspire me and my buddies to write kick ass metal thank you for this awesome metal bro!

[hpap1973]

im still searcing for this lp.anyone?

[RuiCarinhoso]

Very good. Can you put more musics of this band?

[RuiCarinhoso]

Very good

[lorenzocitro720]

I Love this Band soo much!!! its a shame,GLACIER never get the attention they deserve!!! On Ebay i found a limited CD version named "The Writers Eye" with the 5 track EP from 1985 and as a bonus the very good studio-sounding 4 track Demo from 1988,with also genius songs on it.A big thanks and cheers goes to HOT METAL RECORDS for bringing this forgotten masterpiece out again!!!

here the songs from the demo. 1:"eastern guns" 2:"the blind leadin` the blind" 3:the writers eye" 4:"silence is golden"

[Signofevil]

@lorenzocitro720 sadly HOT METAL RECORDS is a Bootleg company. so the artist himself has not a single penny by their release. Think about!

[lorenzocitro720]

@Signofevil i was not aware of that.you are right,but otherwise,why the band,if they have still the rights on their material,release not their entire material themself?maybe its too expensive,i think.

i know its a shame,but what do you choose:you buy this bootleg,and the artist see no many or you buy it not and in this case the band see also no many.and its such a rare piece of music.now im happy to have something in my hands.and if the band brings out a cd,i buy the album again.i promise!

[axisjames]

I have an original LP copy, as I was once in this band (1980-1982). Anyone want it?

[lorenzocitro720]

@axisjames HeyJames.why you quit Glacier back then?

other question:how much you want for the record copy?

i wish you a good time.THX and bye!

Lorenzo Citro (Switzerland)

[axisjames]

I have an original LP copy, as I was once in this band (1980-1982). Anyone want it?

[666thrashmaster]

@axisjames how much

[l0rdt]

@lorenzocitro720 this is one of the biggest nwobhm in the world, i prefere glacier to iron maiden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love ostrogoth and omen too, and i hate that nobody knows theese great bands

[MedievalSteel91]

@l0rdt this is from the states how could it possibly be nwobhm?

[l0rdt]

@MedievalSteel91 never commented on this video. I'm gonna ink a new tattoo--> "remember to log out. Always" o_O

[WeekendWarriorss]

soooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooood

[shuralmehki]

Was this an underground local band, and what country are they from? I have searched Amazon, Wikipedia, BTJunkie, TPB, and even Google-ed the lyrics and can not find anything on these guys. I was going to purchase the album if I could find it.

[Signofevil]

@shuralmehki enter in google: metal archives glacier and you go to the first link for more info and links

[sasman888]

Glacier kicks ass! This band should have been more popular... this is so awesome... love the guitars, love the singer so much <3

[quietriotfan1976]

@fredtheredmanu

Just watch for any record shows in your area, its amazing what you can pick up. I found an lp from London (Fred Coury from Cinderella's band before he joined cinderella) at a show back in 2006.

[WARCRYERband]

NO WAY TO RUN! NO WAY TO HIDE!

oh my fucking god..what a song!

[RuiCarinhoso]

The voice sound like Agent Steel or Queensryche.

[da44e]

Someone should do a re-make on this one. Would be epic.

[mjiolnir88]

great song 

[AkisDoom]

This Is US Power Metal!! This Is METAL in its Purest Form!!

You can't have something "more" (US Power) METAL than this!!

A Masterpiece ... Pure Perfection ... This Is Heavy METAL Heaven!!

[WARCRYERband]

@AkisDoom i thought that was heavy metal..why should it be power metal?

the drum style is heavy..bass and guit arrangements too..

vocal lines and lyrics too...

[Signofevil]

@WARCRYERband i guess most people even don't know that Heavy Metal really exist/existed. They all use 'Power Metal' as generallized standard for harder music wich is not Thrash, Death, Black, Gore, and so on. One day even Maiden or Priest might be categorized as Power Metal. :(

[WARCRYERband]

@Signofevil oh you better believe that's a paddlin..

power metal is a heavy metal derivative, there is a lot of bands that could be considered as "heavy-power" but everyone can see the difference between judas priest and helloween.

[Signofevil]

@WARCRYERband

sure everybody can, but not everybody does. Even if there is a clear line between heavy and power metal, most Metalheads still use Power Metal as description. And yes, i know that power metal is a HM-derivative, i am not into metal just since yesterday. ;)

[WARCRYERband]

@Signofevil of course you're not into metal just since yesterday, i knew that because of your nickname :D

but i'm italian and i didn't find a better way to explain what i was trying to say.

by the way..

i would like to listen to this band in HQ and i'll never find this EP in italy..

is there some website to get the mp3 (or maybe wav)?

i didn't find anything.

thank you bro \m/

[captainbigmac]

reminds me of Manilla Road

[borrachocochino]

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hell yeah some real metal..............  i hate fakes old school a la madre..

[metalbornmetalbred]

According to Encyclopedia Metallum these guys were still together as of 2010. Kick a $ $ band.

[The666Slayer]

Ohh wtf, my xbox gamertag is SignOfEvil...

[issarveta]

просто класс!!!!! молодцы хоть и композиция и старая довольно.

[issarveta]

суппер-легко и и не давит на мозги....просто класс!!!!!!!!!!

[Dannybrimm]

@fredtheredmanu

Glacier was done before the time of CD, so that's problem number one. Also, I believe they only have 3 releases, and that they all have very dedicated cult followings, which means that if they were to show up on an auction site, you're going to have to pay some serious coin.

[Dannybrimm]

Ha! The guy in the middle at 1:05 has the BEST Triumph shirt. A+

[Signofevil]

19'000 visits!!!!! never expected that when i uploaded this thing. Thanx to all!!

[AsphyxGr]

@Signofevil It can be 10000 visits only by me ! hahaha

[sasman888]

Very nice! I love this one <3

[LinkKokiri83]

"Let yourself be taken back to the glorious time when metal was what it was meant to be." Could it be said better?

[CultopaidoGR]

One of the greatest US metal bands ever!

[vwmaniacs]

Fantastic band!!!!!Wish i could find a copy of their LP,or just the songs in mp3... :(

[ZombieHorror666]

Damn just lost this on ebay! Went away for to much money for me being able to bid on it! :<<<

[da44e]

First time i hear this band, and it gives me chills...wow!

[horsthetzer]

intro's so fucking killer

[lugolugus]

first time listening to this awe inspiring band.......... KILLER METAL ..... the intro sent chills down my spine.....HAIL TO THE MIGHTY GLACIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Axilleac]

Lachman Bros are more than talented.Gargoyle,Eleventh hour ..these guys have the Midas touch

[Signofevil]

@educated3836 i guess there better versions on the net. But never forget, a real fan and collector wants the original!

[Signofevil]

@fredtheredmanu all you need is patience and some luck. 

[RATDAT3]

If you want a copy, just ask one of the band members. I'm sure they would sell you one, and that way you support them directly. I dont think this ever made it to cd, all I've ever seen was tapes, like the one I got from the bass player. Tapes were swaped at shows or given out by the band to friends back then---they just wanted to be heard and people to come to the shows, not trying to sell. This was before cd's were real popular and everyone was money music hungry.

[OliverMagnum21]

One of the best US metal songs ever written. I'm very glad to have this EP. \m/

[minabahamut]

fantastic band great song. like it or not this unique music was only for decades like 80s and 90s;)your comment is true and kind and i understand what you mean about the bootleg think.for me the best way is to copy and give each other cds cassetes etc not downloading 829374387584357 mp3 a day.when people were able to exchange back there they were carefully listening and knew why a band was great musically or not.nowdays few people can see and feel music that way

[galaxy99v]

scott and sam can be found on facebook scott has pictures of Glacier on his facebook acct still a super cool guy

Facebook Profile: facebook.com/scott.prinzing

[galaxy99v]

went to high school with the original members

Scott Prinzing, Sam Easly , Pat Gobel & Dave Nolan

later the Drummer was my Neighbor Loren Bates used to go hang at Lorens basement and listen to them practice and got to hear the master tapes of the albums they put out in 1985 Grant high school had a one nite rock jam with 3 bands  one i cant remember the name of loren was in with another with a neighbor and glacier they came on as the last band and just blew every one away fond memories!

[Maskedhaven]

Good upload. 

[TheEvilBaron]

These guys were so good, too bad they never made it far. The vocalist Rex McNew was the best out of all vocalists tried or loaned. Google their myspace website, you'll find more information about all members.

[lorenzocitro720]

aah.this is music in my ears.

[Mansel169]

wow ive never heard of this band so when i heard them i was blown away there fucking sick man! thanks for uploading this!!

[thefriendsociety]

if nobody had the bootleg hw the fuck would we be able to find this? you think every town has a fuckin record store and we an afford to pay 225 for album that should be 10...maybe 25 at the most?

[Signofevil]

@thefriendsociety

and only this reason gives others the right to make illegal copies, rip off buyers by selling 2nd hand quality for a higher price than a official record and making alot cash with the ideas from others.

Sometimes i wish supporters of bootlegs (like you as it seems) should also have to work without payment. It's similair to making music (also work) and being ripped off.

And finally a Galcier EP is never 225 bucks. Even if the musically quality is worth it!

[thefriendsociety]

@Signofevil bootlegging helps more then hurts, this band should just be happy people have even heard them an not worried about record sales, if your into music for money then you have no place in art. I support bands when they come to my area an tour, I buy t-shirts i support it, i just dont think i should have to scour the earth from an albumthen have to actually PAY the money that the album a rare band like this isnt even gonna get it, just some salesman.

[Signofevil]

@thefriendsociety

This still doesn't mean one should glorify bootlegs. And there is often still the possibility to buy by artists, also for such old records.

[thefriendsociety]

@Signofevil bootlegging has been around forever, its just another way to get what you want.

[Signofevil]

@thefriendsociety

If you ask a friend for a copy it's a much more friendly way. ;)

[1983metalbjorn]

yeah allways maiden bullshit dare is more metal dan maiden

[TwilightCodex]

This is very fucking awesome shit, I always listen to these guys and Sacred Warrior! ARGH!!

[HeirApparentt]

What a song!!Used listen to this in the past so many times including it in every compilation casette i've made.Lovin' it

[restlesssssss]

One of my favorite EP's

[EpicAlexMetal]

Wonderful old school US metal!!!!!!! Five stars

[AsphyxGr]

Great song. Listened to it almost 40 times the past week...long live the oldschool music and feeling

[AsphyxGr]

Great song. Listened to it almost 40 time the past week...

[helstar13]

i want this album!!!i'm looking for it for years..i can't find it....

[SPECTRE1961]

GREAT STUFF !

A HONEST SOUND ...

[sexwithoutanimals]

the cover it's like keeper of the seven keys

[Signofevil]

Does it Really? or does Keeper look like this? ;) remember, this record was released 2 yrs before 'keeper 1' and 3 before 'keeper 2'.

[sexwithoutanimals]

@Signofevil omg, you are right :o , anyway, both albums are great :P

[fdaapproved]

fuck iron maiden

[painkiller625]

not disrespecting the band or you fans but you can hear the iron maiden influence like crazy but not bad at all though good to hear classic heavy metal now since these kids screwed it all up

[Signofevil]

In how many other bands you hear influences from Maiden? Or even what influences you hear in Maiden? It's great to show influences, especially when the result is even better than the influence. ;)

[patriciolan]

metaleramente nostalgico

[DeadBloom10000]

Sick!!!

[RexMcNew]

Go to Glaciers' Myspace page. All the info about the band is on there. Best, Rebel Rex

[JustSodOff]

The intro is a bit "Iron Maiden-ish".

[RexMcNew]

The guy singing Vendetta, now plays with Rebel Rex, Shotgun Overdose & Maggie Sayles.

[SpotlightKid86]

This so cool, I love it.

Now, I just have to find the LP.

[majora420]

First time hearing these guys and i find it AWESOME this is what i like about old metal tis trueto the roots ^_^

[Signofevil]

When i first posted this vid i never expected the great response it will have. Thank you to all the people who shared comments and especially thank you to the band letting it online.

The spirit of the 80ies still exists.

[RexMcNew]

The guy who sang this tune is now REBEL REX and he's back, big time. He loves great imput. Pussy vocals is a compliment. Guess those opera lesssons really paid off. Check it out Rebel Rex & Maggie Sayles

[Rshimy]

pussy vocals, but great song

[SSDecontrol94]

iron maiden feel

i love it

[METALLICA1668]

dude cole i know (:

[Megathrax84]

This is awesome lol what genre is this, brutal proggressive speed thrash? just kidding!!

[CWilliams4296]

one of my favorite songs off this ep from 85 love it and with the killer guitar riffs and solos!!!! i want this ep soooooo bad!!!!!

[FUCKPOSERMETALHEADS]

"Let yourself be taken back to the glorious time when metal was what it was meant to be."

Those were the days, long before scene kids and all that nu metal and deathcore garbage.

[Megathrax84]

Im 16, and I wish I was born in late 60s so I could witness awesome metal from the 80s

[thebestofthebest93]

me too : (

[Megathrax84]

@FUCKPOSERMETALHEADS notmany people take metal seriously nowadays

[AsphyxGr]

@Megathrax84 we shouldn't care. this is something personal for the few people who understand it. it exists and it makes me happy

[Megathrax84]

@AsphyxGr the reason I care is it's hard to find musicians

[AsphyxGr]

@Megathrax84 that's another case.. the musician part is the most difficult indeed ;) Full of idiots that are trying to play 1232131 notes per minute of digital disgusting sound, in an era that rhythm is the case mostly and melodies and feeling is left behind. I know

[headbanger6661990]

@FUCKPOSERMETALHEADS if got heavy metal music in my blood

and i take it to you if i could !!! heavy metaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallll

[jakernr21]

@headbanger6661990 *like to get it to you, if i could!

Holocaust is good to go!

[LinkKokiri83]

@FUCKPOSERMETALHEADS amen

[metalheadedtothemax]

@FUCKPOSERMETALHEADS I like deathcore, it's not metal tho. I DESPISE nu"metal". 

[Muytallica]

[Moutsaras]

"Let yourself be taken back to the glorious time when metal was what it was meant to be."

[GruppeSechs2004]

Now THIS is Metal!

[Strappado2]

Just love it

[FRNKGL]

This album is awesome true metal. What ever happened to Tim Lachman he was awesome singer.

[SabuPtolemy]

@FRNKGL Are you bringing up Tim Lachman because he sang on the demo that followed this EP? Tim lives in L.A. now but is not heavily involved in music anymore. Of course his younger brother Pat was the guitarist with Halford on 'Resurrection' and 'Crucible' and the vocalist for Damageplan, Dime and Vinnie from Pantera's band.

[heavyload75]

one day one should release their mighty demos(with herr lachman from gargoyle)on a mighty vinyl....

[pwnzerleet]
