Glis – Gateaway To Oblivion (Album – Digital/CD – Alfa Matrix)
Glis – Gateaway To Oblivion
More than a decade after his last release, Shaun Frandsen returns with a new album from Glis. The American artist enlisted Seb Komor (Komor Kommando, Icon Of Coil, among others) for collaboration, and even features a guest appearance by Jennifer Parkin (Ayria) on one track. Both in sound and influence, it feels as though Glis never left. This album delivers a solid mix of Future-Pop and EBM, enriched with a raw, Industrial edge. Glis retains its recognizable style, offering listeners several standout tracks. This is more than just a successful comeback; it’s a great album. (Rating: 8½)
