Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Glasya has released a video for “Fear” (featuring Moonspell’s Fernando Ribeiro), first single and titletrack taken from the new album to be released on October 24 by Scarlet Records.

Sarah, the main charachter of the “Fear” story/concept, wakes up alone, confused, and with no memories in an inhospitable place. As she tries to remember who she is and what she is doing there, she is haunted by voices from the past and present that reveal themselves to be her fears that return to torment her. With the participation of the illustrious guest Fernando Ribeiro von vocals, it is a grand introduction to the album and its tale!

Lead by the magnificent voice and imposing presence of Eduarda Soeiro (officially part of the current Moonspell live band), Glasya keeps marrying cinematic heavy metal and a bright storytelling vein.

Three years after the excellent “Attarghan” concept album, “Fear” displays a more modern symphonic metal sound with strong grooves, catchy chorus and several honorable special guests (Moonspell’s Fernando Ribeiro, Vision Of Atlantis’ Michele Guaitoli, Dark Oath’s Sarah Leitão).

“Fear” tells the quest of a woman who finds herself confronted with her own fears and gains the courage to overcome them. The listener will be walking in the shoes of the protagonist and feel her trepidation, her convictions, her achievements and the confidence that she develops in herself to help a close one.

During the course of the compelling story, she will fully reveal her weaknesses and how they can finally become her strengths – a real triumph over adversity.
