A night of violence, buzzsaw guitars, blast beats, atmospheres and doom.
G L A S S B L O W E R - https://www.facebook.com/GlassblowerNZ/
Glassblower are uncompromisingly vicious and passionate. Blending grindcore tempos with math time signatures and buzzsaw guitar tones. They've shown an unwillingness to back down from their message with lyrical themes around equality, unionization and getting to understand the feeling of an overwhelming existential dread.
Violence, empowerment and solidarity. Waste imperialist borders and unionize the hardcore scene. ❤
