Background

edit

Shortly after the release of the band's second album, Desperate Man's Diary, Glass Casket became mostly inactive as the members focused on other projects.[5] In January 2014, it was announced that guitarist Wes Hauch had joined the band.[6] Around this same time, band members stated that they were writing material for a new Glass Casket record.

On January 27, 2023, Silent Pendulum Records founder and CEO Michael Kadner announced that Glass Casket had been signed to the label and that a new record would be released later in the year; additionally, Kadner also announced that Silent Pendulum had obtained the rights to We Are Gathered Here Today and Desperate Man's Diary and would be reissuing the albums on vinyl.[7] After spending more than a decade in development hell, Glass Casket released its first new song in 17 years, "Let Them Go", on March 16 as the lead single from the upcoming release.[8] That same day, the band announced that it would be releasing a self-titled EP on June 9.[9]
