Chilean dark metal band ATER have released their new single, “Heart Of Glass,” accompanied by an official music video featuring the song’s lyrics. The track appears on their upcoming third studio album, Everlasting, scheduled for release on January 29, 2027, through Torque Records.
The new single explores heartbreak, rejection, and emotional vulnerability, continuing the band’s approach to combining extreme metal with gothic influences and personal lyrical themes.
“Heart Of Glass” explores heartbreak and rejection
“Heart Of Glass” draws from the personal experiences of ATER frontman and lyricist Fernando Bühring.
The song begins with a pulsing heartbeat before moving into slow, heavy guitar arrangements, guttural vocals, and contrasting clean vocal passages. Its lyrics address the emotional consequences of a broken relationship.
Discussing the track, the band explained:
“Going back to our heavier tones, ‘Heart Of Glass’ represents what the new album is all about.”
ATER described the composition as particularly personal to Bühring and said the accompanying video was created to communicate the song’s emotional themes through its displayed lyrics.
The band added that the track is intended for listeners who have experienced heartbreak.
Everlasting arrives January 29, 2027
The eight-track Everlasting follows the band’s 2024 sophomore album, Somber, and their 2018 debut, Eternal Gray Spiral.
The upcoming record continues ATER‘s exploration of gothic romanticism through extreme metal, combining heavy guitar and bass arrangements with atmospheric elements and contrasting vocal styles.
Everlasting was produced by Fernando Bühring and recorded at Torque Records. Daniel Lancaster handled mixing, while Tony Lindgren mastered the album at Fascination Street Studios.
The album artwork was created by Travis Smith.
The record also includes “Venus,” previously released as a single in 2025, alongside songs titled “Neverlasting,” “Make Me Bleed,” “Ketamine,” and “Sleep.”
