CD Glass Hammer – Untold Tales

Glass Hammer – Untold Tales (Released 2017 via Sound Resources) is a compelling collection that serves as a hidden treasure trove for fans of symphonic progressive rock. Surfacing shortly after the critically acclaimed Valkyrie, this release gathers a sophisticated blend of outtakes, cover versions, and rare live material that captures the band’s signature "classic" sound.

Far from a simple compilation of leftovers, Untold Tales offers what critics describe as a "banquet" of material. The album transitions seamlessly from atmospheric instrumentals like "Shadows Of The Past (2008)" to the stunning 12-minute epic "Identity Principle." Fans will also appreciate the band’s unique interpretations of classics, including a cover of Procol Harum’s "Hold Your Head Up" and The Beatles’ "It’s All Too Much."

The album’s core highlights include:

• Identity Principle – A spectacular, full-blown prog epic reaching over 12 minutes.
• No Man's Land (Live) – A massive 14-minute live performance capturing the band's stage energy.
• Diverse Instrumentation – Features "Babb’s Bach" and the atmospheric "Cool Air."
• Rarity Value – An essential unofficial addition issued through Sound Resources (SR3829).

Whether you are a longtime follower of Steve Babb and company or a newcomer to their melodic, concept-driven world, Untold Tales provides over 70 minutes of essential symphonic prog that rivals the band's standard studio outputs.
