The emotions and ideas expressed in the lyrics ebb and flow with the music; but they have a definite story to tell with a beginning, middle and climactic end.” And what is that story about? Babb prefers to allow listeners the chance to interpret the ultimate meaning for themselves, but he did drop some hints. “It should be obvious from the album art and the title PERILOUS that something dire is lurking just beyond that gate. Imagine two children lost in a cemetery at night and the unsavory characters they might meet as they try to find their way home. That is the setting for our allegory.” Of course, the big news for Glass Hammer might have been the addition of singer Jon Davison to prog super- group YES. But Jon was using that time with YES to introduce a new legion of fans to the music of Glass Ham- mer while letting them know something great was on the horizon with PERILOUS. “There is no denying the ‘YES factor’ has increased interest in GH world-wide. And that’s fine with us,” said Babb. “But our big news for 2012 will still be PERILOUS. We set out to make something epic and something that is distinctly Glass Ham- mer; never afraid to show our influences, while developing a sound that is undeniably ours alone. Of course, the fans will be the ultimate judge of whether or not we succeeded. PERILOUS is a very ambitous album for Glass Hammer, and here at the end of the production process all of the band members are very excited about the work we’ve done!” Featuring audiophile mastering by Bob Katz of Digital Domain and a twelve-page full-color insert with artwork by R. T. Adolfo, PERILOUS hits the streets October 23, 2012.
