VOICE OF GLASS was formed originally in March, 2002, by American guitarist and songwriter DAVID MEEK while living in Europe. He formed the group originally under the name '10 SECONDS OF SILENCE' in 2002. Its original members were TODOR MIHAILOV (drums and vocals), OLYA MIHAILOVA (vocals), and DAVID MEEK (guitars). In 2005 they added STANIMIER KOSTOV as their bassist and changed the band’s name to ‘VOICE OF GLASS’. They teamed with producer TONY GRAPES from
MILLENNIUM STUDIO
in Sofia, Bulgaria, and they recorded their first single ‘VALLEY’, which was based on the 23 PSALM OF DAVID. They made a music video with the project, which was played often on European music channels
MM TV
and M2TV during the summer of 2006. The video also opened the door for them to be interviewed live on the TV show for metal music from Bulgaria and the world - “FRACTURA†on

After the success of ‘VALLEY’, the band underwent some internal changes as the band’s drummer and vocalist TODOR left the band. This left them with the unique opportunity to re-define their style and sound as OLYA began to take the full load of the vocal responsibilities in their music. They added drummer JULIAN NEDKOV and began the process of completely re-defining the vision and direction of their music.
On November 24th, 2006, VOICE OF GLASS recorded the song ‘SONG OF SONGS’ as their second single. The ’SONG OF SONGS’, which was based on the book ‘SONG OF SONGS’ from THE BIBLE, was recorded in the European city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, at
SOUND DESIGN STUDIO
. The band took the challenge to be the only producer of this new at that time project. The single, ’SONG OF SONGS’, entered the Top 10 international music chart on the
MM TV
show

After ’SONG OF SONGS’, the band set goals to tour in the United States and to record their first full EP. VOICE OF GLASS began a six-month U.S. tour on May 31st, 2007. As the band was on its U.S. 2007 tour, they added a new band member - JUAN HERNANDEZ. He replaced the previous bassist STANIMIER KOSTOV, who left the band before the US tour. JUAN is from Chicago, Illinois, and he fully committed himself to VOICE OF GLASS.
While on tour, the band also made arrangements with Ken Steorts (co-founder of
SKILLETand director of
VISIBLE SCHOOL) to record at the legendary
ARDENT STUDIO
in Memphis, Tennessee. On October 1st VOICE OF GLASS accomplished its goal of making a full EP by recording three new songs: 'Beautiful', 'You Let Dying In', and 'Making Me Real'.
