Chewing Glass Collective
- Mettle Corp [Self-released, 2023]
From The Lightvessel #8
Zeitreise:
βThe second track we've chosen is "Mettle Corp" by Chewing Glass Collective (CGC). We chose this track because, among the genres that represent our project, it perfectly blends industrial rhythms and metal. CGC represents a musically and artistically very active extreme music collective from Bristol, UK, that is worth highlighting.
CGC is primarily a grindcore/death metal/hardcore band, but they also promote club nights with a focus on industrial and darker club music. The track "Mettle Corp" came about when Dan (from CGC) and Jake Ettle Illes (or Mettle to his friends) decided to produce industrial music heavily inspired by Godflesh but bringing in heavier elements from their musical backgrounds. The collaboration yielded several tracks, but the artistic commitments of both involved artists slowed down the completion of the work. Then, very suddenly and unexpectedly, Jake passed away, which led Dan to want to finish the track in his honor.β
