VOICE OF GLASS was formed originally in March, 2002, by American guitarist and songwriter DAVID MEEK while living in Europe. He formed the group originally under the name '10 SECONDS OF SILENCE' in 2002. Its original members were TODOR MIHAILOV (drums and vocals), OLYA MIHAILOVA (vocals), and DAVID MEEK (guitars). In 2005 they added STANIMIER KOSTOV as their bassist and changed the band’s name to ‘VOICE OF GLASS’. They teamed with producer TONY GRAPES from
MILLENNIUM STUDIO
in Sofia, Bulgaria, and they recorded their first single ‘VALLEY’, which was based on the 23 PSALM OF DAVID. They made a music video with the project, which was played often on European music channels
MM TV
and M2TV during the summer of 2006. The video also opened the door for them to be interviewed live on the TV show for metal music from Bulgaria and the world - “FRACTURA” on MMTV.
.
After the success of ‘VALLEY’, the band underwent some internal changes as the band’s drummer and vocalist TODOR left the band. This left them with the unique opportunity to re-define their style and sound as OLYA began to take the full load of the vocal responsibilities in their music. They added drummer JULIAN NEDKOV and began the process of completely re-defining the vision and direction of their music.
On November 24th, 2006, VOICE OF GLASS recorded the song ‘SONG OF SONGS’ as their second single. The ’SONG OF SONGS’, which was based on the book ‘SONG OF SONGS’ from THE BIBLE, was recorded in the European city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, at
SOUND DESIGN STUDIO
. The band took the challenge to be the only producer of this new at that time project. The single, ’SONG OF SONGS’, entered the Top 10 international music chart on the
MM TV
show
INTERACTIVE
.
After ’SONG OF SONGS’, the band set goals to tour in the United States and to record their first full EP. VOICE OF GLASS began a six-month U.S. tour on May 31st, 2007. As the band was on its U.S. 2007 tour, they added a new band member - JUAN HERNANDEZ. He replaced the previous bassist STANIMIER KOSTOV, who left the band before the US tour. JUAN is from Chicago, Illinois, and he fully committed himself to VOICE OF GLASS.
While on tour, the band also made arrangements with Ken Steorts (co-founder of
SKILLET
and director of
VISIBLE SCHOOL
) to record at the legendary
ARDENT STUDIO
in Memphis, Tennessee. On October 1st VOICE OF GLASS accomplished its goal of making a full EP by recording three new songs: 'Beautiful', 'You Let Dying In', and 'Making Me Real'.
From March 29th-June 7th 2008, they went on their second U.S. tour in promotion of the new EP. After the tour and almost two years of non-stop traveling, the band took the rest of the year off to recover and plan the next steps for the future. In March of 2009, David and Olya moved to Chicago and officially relocated the band to the United States. The goal being to find a record label and record a full length album. On July 2nd 2009, VOICE OF GLASS had the privilege to play at the
CORNERSTONE MUSIC FESTIVAL
in Bushnell, Illinois. They were able to play twice that day, once on the Sanctuary Stage and once on the Fat Calf Stage.
On September 13th 2009, VOICE OF GLASS agreed to sign a contract with
NEPLUSULTRA MUSIC
and
OPEN GRAVE RECORDS
that would re-release the EP along with the "Song of Songs" single and music video, and then the bands debut full length.
VOICE OF GLASS is currently based in Chicago, Illinois, where they are writing material and planning the recording for their first full length Album. The album is planned to be released early in 2010.
Psalm 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 119:11-16 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. Psalm 119:104, 105 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Hey beautiful people! working on an album for recording (hopefully) next summer. Lyrics in three languages (creates a certain effect). If you know/run into anyone that knows Finnish and/or German (or if any Germans/Finns see this post), send them my way so they can check my traslation if they will. I don't want to make a complete fool of myself as soon as I start making music! God bless. Happy Halloween in case I forget... God bless, M.S.
Hey. So here's the deal. On November 6th I'm driving up to Cincinnati to see Leper, Grave Robber, and Vexing Souls play at Covenant. What I'm gonna need you to do is hijack that show and be the finishing act for me. That would make a perfect show even better.
