REVIEW: Girls Under Glass - Frozen Van Richter Records, 2001
7.5/10
Girls Under Glass - Frozen - cover art Van Richter has become one of the leading alternative metal labels over the years and Girls Under Glass is one of their top acts together with the mighty industrial revolutionaries of Testify. Even though there are lots of industrial and techno sounds on this recording there is a strong metal feeling to it. It starts off nicely with an interesting cover of Madonna's radio hit "Frozen". Since this is one of the most beautiful songs ever made I'm sad to say that Girls Under Glass doesn't really do the song the justice it deserves. The second track "Wings" is a great one with a wonderful melody and soothing female vocals of top quality. The rest of the album consists of thick guitar walls, distorted voices, good male vocals, beautiful melodies and lots of electronics and samples. The good thing about Girls Under Glass is that whether you're a fan of radio music, metal, industrial or gothic music there is a fair chance you will fall in love with their very unconventional but very intrigueing sound. Their music is abstract and almost impossible to describe accurately in words. It simply needs to be listened to.
