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.

Long time ago since I was online! (sorry) Hope you are ok, and that you enjoy your time on earth! Don`t be shy, and lets keep in touch! By the way, if you like, listen to our definitly last songs for ever - or show some love!
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
Matthew 1:21-23 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
1Peter 1:2-9 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Psalm 19:1-3 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
