Glacier

Formed in 1979 the would release their first demo in 1984 leading to the first offical release of their self-titles EP in 1985 from Axekiller Records in France. The effort was competitive with their contemporaries like Fates Warning, Warlord, Queensryche, and early Dream Theater. Three years later the band would release another EP on their own with a bit of a stylistic change more towards Helstar, Titan Force and Liege Lord.

This Portland, Oregon band produced some of the greatest U.S. heavy metal but somehow where criminally overlooked for years. Eventually as with all great metal releases the collectors would stumble upon it and bring it to light once again.
