Glacier existed in a few different forms between the years of 1979 and roughly 1989, and played some pretty killer heavy/power metal. If you want to dig deeper into their history, you can read all about it on this site that is a mirror of a Geocities page while they were planning a reunion around 2002.
The era that they are most widely known for is during the time that they recorded a s/t EP in 1985 that was released on French label, Axe Killer Records. The vinyl is still highly sought after by collectors. It's from this same era of the band that I have various rehearsal recordings. I did some remastering work on these, and they sound pretty good given that they are 30 year old practice space recordings.
Two rehearsals are primarily instrumental, and the others have vocals. You'll get to hear some early practice versions of songs that made it onto the s/t EP, and even some tracks that never got recorded in a studio.
Let's take this in chronological order:
Glacier - Rehearsal 12/26/83
Glacier - Rehearsal 1/8/84
Glacier - Babyland Rehearsal 6/85
Glacier - Rehearsals 9/21 & 9/21/85
Glacier - Give It Up 12/85
This one especially rules, because it's just Tim and Pat doing a KISS parody.
On a final note, if anyone out there has the Ready For Battle demo from 1984, or any of the recordings that pre-date it, please get in touch! pdxunderground43@gmail.com
