Additional information: Review        by Keith Pettipas

Previously known as the Damnation of Adam Blessing, Glory hailed from Cleveland and recorded one album for the Avalanche label in 1973. Essentially the fourth Damnation of Adam Blessing album, Glory came about as a result of differences with the band's record label (United Artists) over the musical content and direction of the band. The album was in the process of recording but United Artists would not release it so the Damnation of Adam Blessing disbanded only to resurface as Glory. For Glory, two of the bandmembers dropped their stage names, reverting back to their original names, and they toughened up the sound with more hard rock guitar and returned to the simple style of the early Damnation recordings. Glory features nine hard rock songs that are guitar dominated, with good vocal interaction between the both lead singers. After the release of Glory, the band broke up. Ironically, Avalanche Records was a subsidiary of United Artists that only lasted for two album releases.

Comments: Biography    by Jason Ankeny

Cleveland acid rock combo the Damnation of Adam Blessing was formed in 1968 from the ashes of a pair of local garage bands, the Society and Dust; led by frontman Adam Blessing (Bill Constable), the group also included guitarists Jim Quinn and Bob Kalamasz, bassist Ray Benich, and drummer Bill Schwark. After months of relentless local gigging -- often as the opener for hometown heroes the James Gang -- the Damnation of Adam Blessing signed to United Artists and issued their self-titled debut LP in 1969, followed by a tour in support of the Faces. Second Damnation followed a year later, generating the minor hit "Back to the River"; with their third album, 1971's Which Is Justice, Which Is the Thief, Schwark was replaced by Blessing's drummer brother Ken Constable. In 1973, the group renamed itself Glory, releasing a self-titled LP on the UA subsidiary Avalanche before disbanding. The Italian reissue imprint Akarma re-released all of the Damnation of Adam Blessing's albums in the early to mid-2000s as either straight-up re-releases or with additional bonus tracks. The label even released a reissue of the obscure Glory album and offered deluxe vinyl pressings of most of the CDs as well.
