I started the project about a year ago under the Name White Tusk. I used to be in a band called The Elephant Asylum and was kind of going off the back of that. T.E.A was the ultimate band to be in for me and so once it disbanded I wanted to do something of my own in the same vein. A kind of no rules music that sounds huge and epic, with a lot of passion and feel.

So here we are “Glacial Path” was born once I found a better name than White Tusk. As the project has developed I believe it has taken on its own unique form in that I have made it a concept project based on the birth and growth of our beloved Planet Earth.

I have become so fascinated with our home and feel I can bring to my listeners not just an epic musical journey but hopefully some fascinating facts and insight into the history of this glorious  planet.

As for me. I started my music life on the Drums and got into my first band at 16. It is still my main instrument today. I’ve been playing for 22 (ouch) years….sorry I can’t believe its been that long. I taught my self to start with then had some lessons from a 6th former at school for a couple of years. From then and till 1999 when I went to Drumtech and did a Diploma I was bashing away with out help. Since then I’ve been  on my own again mainly crafting my own style but soaking up ideas and inspiration from the likes of Nicko McBrain, Thomas Haake, Brann Dailor and Nicholas Barker along the way.

One day I had the great idea of buying a guitar and a little 10watt amp (that you will hear in the recordings) I taught myself guitar also and have never had  a lesson…yeah I know it shows LOL….Guitar wise my inspiration started out with Opeth> Then when I joined the band that became The Elephant Asylum they opened me up to a whole new way of playing. I got into bands like Cult Of Luna, Mastodon, Crowbar, Converge  and so on. I have to say, despite all those awesome bands I think my main inspiration for Glacial Path is still The Elephant Asylum and the main Guitarist from that band Leo Stuart

From http://www.aquariusrecords.org:

You don't really hear much about Combat Astronomy, except from us at Aquarius Records (do you?). Which is weird, 'cause this band should be a lot better known than they are, among fans of heavy and/or freaky music, considering they're already on their third (and a half, counting a split) cd release, one that has been long awaited, for a certain subset of AQ-customers in the know. For those not in the know, we'll say that basically CA sound like a Justin Broadrick or Kevin Martin industrial metal act (Godflesh or God, something along those lines) mixed up with freeform improv horn-skree, for results both brutal and beautiful. This band, or we should say this collaborative trans-Atlantic project, to be precise, is the unholy spawn of American sub-bass sludge technician Jamie Huggett and British improv reedsman Martin Archer (and friends). Thus they don't play live that often, which might have something to do with their low profile. They're self-described as an "intense hypnagogic industrial/jazz/prog/doommetal hybrid", and we can't think of any other outfit that better fits that mouthful. As we now know to expect, CA's new disc dishes out uber heavy doomic annihilation, bludgeoning with squelching bass and machine-like beats, the entire thing in fact percussive in its distorted rhythmic impact, amidst ominous organ and rising electronic drone. Yet CA also has a prog/classical side, thanks to Archer's woodwinds and also some female vocals, first introduced to this previously all instrumental act on their 2nd album Dreams No Longer Hesitate, returning here only wordessly, to eerie, avant garde effect. With that in mind, and all the heavy bass, Magma fans might find this to be their extreme sludge combo of choice. We'd also of course recommend Combat Astronomy to those who appreciate the likes of Painkiller, 16-17, Scorn, and even UFOmammut...
And Earth Divided By Zero might just be their best disc yet, keeping the expanded palette of sounds found on their last outing, but leaving aside that disc's occasional surprise explorations of vocal (prog) pop song-ishness, instead forging a more organic synthesis of what we REALLY dig about this unit, the grinding low end and squealing sax skronk, the heavy rhythms and atmospheric, ambient-ish interludes. Not that it's without melodic surprises, like how track two tries to lull us with a placid piano intro, shades of Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore... but soon enough the bass and distortion attack is back in force. Punishing, but such sweet punishment.
