Glasherz: The Industrial Metal Architects

Glasherz is a German industrial metal band known for their fusion of aggressive electronics with heavy guitar riffs. Hailing from Berlin, the group achieved notable success with their third studio album, which charted in several European territories and solidified their presence in the modern metal scene.

Early career

Glasherz was formed in 2005 by vocalist/programmer Markus Voss and guitarist Stefan Krause in the vibrant Berlin music scene. Their self-released debut EP, "Schattenwerk," in 2007 caught the attention of the independent label Dark Tunes, leading to their first full-length album "Maschinenherz" in 2009.

Breakthrough

The band's breakthrough arrived in 2012 with their third album, "Stahlfront." Released via the larger independent label AFM Records, the album's lead single gained significant rotation on European metal radio and propelled the album to number 32 on the German album charts.

Key tracks

Stahlfront — This title track became the band's signature anthem, showcasing their perfected blend of orchestral synths and pummeling riffs.

Trümmerfeld — A collaboration with guest vocalist Chris Pohl of Blutengel, this track expanded their reach into the broader dark alternative community.

Neonlicht — Known for its infectious, driving rhythm, this song became a staple in their live set and a fan favorite.

Nullpunkt — This slower, more atmospheric track demonstrated the band's dynamic range and songwriting depth beyond pure aggression.

Following "Stahlfront," Glasherz toured extensively across Europe and released the well-received albums "Kaltes Feuer" (2015) and "Digital Ghosts" (2018). Their work has included production collaborations with figures like Sascha Paeth and a remix for the band Oomph!.
