Every so often a debut arrives that feels less like a first step and more like a fully realised mission statement. Perth’s GlassCastles have delivered exactly that with Digital:Heart, a four-track EP that positions them firmly among the most promising names in modern metal core.
For a debut EP, Digital:Heart feels remarkably assured. It nods towards influences like Architects, Polaris and Bring Me The Horizon, but never leans too heavily on them, instead carving out a space that is distinctly their own. If this release is any indication, GlassCastles are not just another name in Australia’s crowded heavy scene, they are a band with both the vision and the ability to push far beyond it.
Digital:Heart available on all streaming platforms September 19th.
Catch GlassCastles on Saturday 11th October at Lynott’s Lounge with ColourMind, Belgravia and Osiris Lights. Get tickets below by clicking on image.
