We are stoked to premier John Glassbrenner’s drum play-through video for the newest track from Concrete, Chains of Oppression. Chains of Oppression was the first single written with John behind the skins for Concrete.
A few words from From John Glassbrenner on the video:
This was the very first pro-style drum play through I’ve ever done, so to see how it came out was very rewarding. We tried to do something slightly different from the norm, and I think it turned out great. Special thanks to the following for all of their help with this. Jared Weed, Robbie Lewis, Matt Connelly, Mario and Kim from Upstate records and Ian from SDM. Hope everyone enjoys the play through and keep an eye out for new Concrete heaviness coming soon!
