“Spettri” (spirits), ghosts. demons, call them as you like. They've chosen a Friday 13th to reveal themselves, to allow the souls they haunt to scream. These dark characters that we create in our own minds build cages that, thus protecting us on one hand, lock us up in a comfort zone where nothing grows and everything dies. They isolate and paralyze us, leave us breathless, throw us in a pitch black night where “le stelle sono spente e non c'è più cielo” (the stars are off and there's no more sky). We don't even recognize ourselves, not even in our “riflesso sparito assieme a te, non sono più me stesso e vorrei urlare” (mirror image vanished with you, I'm not myself anymore and I want to scream). Asking for help is useless because letting someone in is so difficult: “non c'è spazio qui per te, resto solo accanto a me” (there's no room for you here, I'm alone by my side), we ask if at least “vedi il mondo attorno a me cedere?” (do you see the world around me crumbling?).
“Spettri” by Glasfold is a brutal and honest report about the darkness of the soul.
It's a song with Italian lyrics, sung on a classic heavy metal instrumental, with some groove/thrash bursts of speed and a little metalcore sprinkling. The melodies created by the guitars are outstanding, especially for the way they combine with the vocal line. While the voice goes from a clean caress to a powerful scream, the rhythm section will leave you breathless as promised by the words.
The song has been mixed and mastered by Michele Guaitoli (Vision of Atlantis, Era, Temperance); the videoclip has been produced by Coward Creations.
“Spettri” is available now on all digital platforms and is the first original single, released after the “Mad world” cover, anticipating the album out soon.

Glasfold were officially born in 2021, when Dave joined the band. They immediately work hard at composing original music, where each member brings his own contribute and influences. The band quickly submits a demo to Michele Guaitoli, who appreciates it and becomes their producer.
The actual line-up comprehends:
Dave Cudicio: born 1988, he starts studying modern singing in 2012. He founds his first band in the same year (Full of Empty, one album released). He keeps studying with Michele Guaitoli and takes part to many seminars with Paola Folli, Michele Luppi and Jey Doublerice. He approaches extreme vocals, as an autodidact at first, and then he specializes in distorted vocals studying with Roberto Marconi and Matteo Ratti. Dave has released many songs during these years, going from 90s dance to nu metal.
Francesco Capello: born 1974, he starts playing electric guitar at the age of 16. Being passionate about those talented and virtuoso guitarists who left their mark during the 80/90s decades, he works to reproduce those sounds and make them personal. He's been playing in several cover bands for years before joining Glasfold.
Lorenzo Grangetto: born 1998, he starts attending music propaedeutic classes at the age of 6. He's been studying saxophone and drums at the same time for years so his influences come from many music genres, but metal is the heaviest one. He obtained a degree in classic saxophone in 2022 and is about to complete the Dante Agostini Drum School course with Erik Tulissio. He also works in his studio, recording acoustic drums tracks.
Stefano “Kampa” De Martin: born 1970, he grew up with thrash and heavy metal, like Slayer, Metallica and Iron Maiden. He's a self-taught bass player and he's been performing with Reaction and Doomsday for years before joining Glasfold.
Alessio Dorigo: born 1969, he studied piano when he was a child, until he found out heavy metal and electric guitars. He begins to study Slayer and Metallica's songs, ending up spending many nights awake playing with his friend and bandmate Francesco Capello. He has personally built one of the guitars he now uses on stage, with the help of a local luthier.
