Metal to the Core has unveiled the complete tracklist and lyrics for “Glory,” the industrial saga that has been teased all year. From the title track’s apocalyptic manifesto to the desert-grit of “Ride You Like a Rodeo,” every chapter is now documented on the band’s official site, giving supporters an early look at the stories fueling the record. The band also clarified that the original plan was for “Faceless” to be a double album, but they chose to split that body of work into two chapters—“Faceless” (Chapter I) and “Glory” (Chapter II)—so they could hold back the most experimental material and give it a more advanced production pass.

Veyra Shade explains that this drop is meant to reward the community for sticking with the trio through a marathon studio sprint. “We’re wrapping production right now—layers of percussion, choirs, synth grit—and wanted everyone to feel the scope before we freeze the masters,” he said. Normand Lewis added that this transparency is also a creative checkpoint: “Seeing lyrics live pushes us to ensure each mix hits as hard as the words.”

Although the release date remains under discussion with NotJustPrompts Records, the band confirms that the schedule conversation is down to calendar logistics, not creative blockers. Once the final mixes and art proofs pass QC, the label and band will lock the drop window and activate pre-save campaigns.

In the meantime, listeners can dive into:

  • The full twelve-song tracklist, including singles like “This Isn’t Home” and new cuts such as “Kings of Nothing” and “Pandora’s Box.”
  • Annotated lyrics for every song, drawn straight from the rehearsal notebooks and captured in the site’s release detail pages.
  • The evolving lore section that details what inspired each sequence, from late-night warehouse sessions to cross-country road diaries.

This glimpse behind the curtain marks the start of Glory’s final approach while the second chapter of the Faceless saga continues incubating in the studio.
