What's New: Glasgow Kiss

New video, new energy, same devastating clarity. Glasgow Kiss drop “Those Wasted Years” with a quiet intensity that hits harder than any roar. Directed by Bård Leite in Bergen’s USF Verftet, a space that feels like a forgotten factory dream, the visuals match the song’s mood shifts: shadows pull you in, then light cracks through like a breath after drowning.
Their upcoming album Down In Flames (Dec 12, 2025 via Eclipse Records) It’s a mirror held up to emotional chaos: grief, desire, loneliness, the kind of stuff you don’t talk about at parties. But here, it’s wrapped in power-rock grooves that feel both familiar and strangely new. Think early Neurosis meets a post-punk fever dream, but with a vocalist who can soar like a banshee and collapse like a house of cards in the same verse.
Charlotte Marlen Midtun’s voice? Not just range, it’s intent. She doesn’t belt for show; she lives every note. And the production? Clean but not sterile. Peter Michelsen (Rat City, Madelene) keeps her right in your skull, harmonies layered like lace, never washing out the rawness. That’s rare these days: when everyone’s chasing choir effects, Glasgow Kiss go for intimacy.
The tracklist reads like a therapy session with a band that knows how to rock. “On Your Own”, “Forsaken”, “Put the Blame On Me”: each one a confession with a drumbeat underneath.
This isn’t revolution. It’s honesty. And honestly? That’s rarer than a clean guitar tone on a grindcore record.
