about

Get ready to dive headfirst into the electrifying world of GLIS as they make an unexpected comeback with their new single release. After the announcement of their highly anticipated album "Gateway To Oblivion" set for May 2024, Shaun Frandsen couldn't wait to treat his loyal fanbase to a taste of what's to come.

"Ascension" tackles the complex theme of AI-driven technological advancement clashing with humanity's emotional depth in an era dominated by capitalism, power and relentless progress. Musically, it's a hard-hitting dark EBM masterpiece infused with a captivating future-pop hook that cuts through with an undeniable edge. And if that's not enough, the single version amps up the addictive qualities, drawing comparisons to iconic bands like ICON OF COIL and COVENANT. Plus, brace yourself for a mesmerizing remix by none other than the legendary ROTERSAND and a harsh industrial take by aggrotech act FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

But wait, there's more! GLIS delivers an exclusive non-album track, "Darkness Be My Guide," delving into the darker, grittier side of their repertoire, reminiscent of industrial heavyweights like :WUMPSCUT: and LEAETHER STRIP.

So buckle up, because GLIS is back and better than ever, ready to take you on a sonic journey like no other. Get ready to embrace the darkness and let the music be your guide.
