Muse to Sirens’ “Glass Wings” Is A Mantra And A Shattering All At Once

Have you ever heard a song that feels like it came straight out of the hands of a German expressionist artist? If not, then Muse to Sirens’ “Glass Wings” is the closest thing — gloomy, distorted, a sound carved in gloom and inner turmoil.

Muse to Sirens is one of the Pennsylvania gems led by otherworldly vocals of Vanity Ladner and the hypnotic rhythms of Ozymandias Ladner. Now, they’re back in the spotlight with Glass Wings, a piece ringing in doom metal and cinematic expressionism.

Glass Wings opens quietly, not the kind that hands peace but the one that gives you this unsettling feeling that’s hard to shake off. The vocals carry the song like an omen, circling over you like it knows your name and all the battles you’ve been through. Each layer of the track feels like it came from the underground. Think of an impending doom that’s cold and fragile, waiting to collapse anytime.

The lyrics are vivid. From the final flood, pushing under the tides, spitting blood, Muse to Sirens made sure you’d feel this ethereal yet fragile current in your bones. And when the repetition of the word “glass” pours over, you’ll know this is a mantra and a shattering all at once. You can totally hear the influence of Gothic music and rich folklore of America’s Deep South in their music. Think of it as something that accompanies you when everything feels suffocating and you’re barely hanging on by a thread.

All in all, Muse to Sirens’ Glass Wings is less for comfort and more for unraveling your inner doom, it’s a genre-bending sirencore track that belongs to the zines, 3AM breakdowns, and underground spaces where catharsis thrives and echoes within closed walls.
