Glass Casket is a deathcore band from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Originally known as Gadrel, the band released two albums before becoming mostly inactive in 2006 as the members focused on other projects.{{cite web |publisher=Lambgoat |url=https://www.lambgoat.com/news/38382/glass-casket-return-with-first-new-single-in-17-years/ |title=Glass Casket returns with first new single in 17 years |date=March 17, 2023 |access-date=March 19, 2023}} In 2013, the band announced that they were working on new music but would not officially reform until a decade later in 2023, announcing that an EP would be released later that year.

History

They were originally called Gadrel when releasing their first demo To Cherish a Falsity. The band formed after several members' previous band Narayan broke up. Dustie Waring and Blake Richardson are also members of Between the Buried and Me, and Adam Cody is a member of metal band Wretched and the grindcore band Columns. Jake Troth, who joined Glass Casket prior to the recording of A Desperate Man's Diary, also played in Columns, but left the band in 2007.

Guitarist Dustie Waring has stated on Between the Buried and Me's message board that Glass Casket is writing a new record, and were set to be releasing it sometime in 2013, stating it will be more "brutal" than A Desperate Man's Diary.{{citation needed|date=October 2023}} In January 2014, Glass Casket announced Wes Hauch (formerly of The Faceless) as their new guitarist.{{cite web|url=http://www.metalinjection.net/latest-news/guitarist-wes-hauch-leaves-the-faceless-to-join-reactivated-glass-casket|title=Guitarist Wes Hauch leaves THE FACELESS To Join Reactivated GLASS CASKET|publisher=Metal Injection|first=Greg|last=Kennelty|date=February 17, 2015|accessdate=November 27, 2015}}

On January 17, 2023, Silent Pendulum Records founder and CEO Michael Kadner released a brief video stating that Glass Casket had signed to the label and a new record would be released later in the year; additionally, Silent Pendulum obtained the rights to We Are Gathered Here Today and Desperate Man's Diary and would be reissuing the albums on vinyl.{{cite web |publisher=Metal Injection |last=Kennelty |first=Greg |url=https://metalinjection.net/upcoming-releases/glass-casket-plotting-their-first-album-in-17-years-reissues |title=GLASS CASKET Plotting Their First Album In 17 Years & Reissues |date=January 27, 2023 |access-date=March 19, 2023}} After a decade in development hell, Glass Casket released their first new material in 17 years; a self-titled EP released on June 9, 2023.{{cite web|author=Greg Kennelty|url=https://metalinjection.net/new-music/glass-casket-streams-first-new-song-in-17-years-announces-new-ep|title=GLASS CASKET Streams First New Song In 17 Years, Announces New EP|publisher=Metal Injection|access-date=March 16, 2023|date=March 16, 2023}} The band released the EP's lead single and their first song in 17 years, "Let Them Go", on March 16, 2023.{{cite web |publisher=MetalSucks |last=Keenan |first=Hesher |url=https://www.metalsucks.net/2023/03/16/glass-casket-return-after-17-years-with-a-new-track-and-album-announcement/ |title=Glass Casket Returns After 17 Years with a New Track and Album Announcement |date=March 16, 2023 |access-date=March 19, 2023}}
