First Taste of Lebanese Post Hardcore Band GLIDDEEE’s Upcoming Debut EP [Lebanon]

By on December 15, 2025

After nearly a full year since their debut single, “SUPERTASTEUR,” Lebanese post-hardcore band GLIDDEEE comes back with fierce force with their blistering new single, “INHALER,” which will be released on the 12th of December from their upcoming EP, “KINETIC FLAW.” Written as an almost hopeless journey through bouts of sickness experienced by the singer, Marco Bazerji, passed through within a worldview of inherent hostility and, at times, lonesomeness.

A triple feature of hardcore, shoegaze, and post-rock, brought together by a monologue emblematic of the band’s writing. It’s kicked off by a grainy sample of what appears to be a CPAP machine’s noises, actually created by an old film camera, immediately imposing themes of difficulty breathing and fighting against it.  With an intense first half illustrating the senses within a world that feels like it’s watching you die, a partnership is encapsulated by “The blood-soaked sun cries as we melt through its rays / Thorns from our lungs punctured in as we fucking strolled.”  The track’s second half brings in a sense of fragile hope, quickly brought back full circle—shattered: “But soon turned dark with no doubts, no second-guessing, waiting with no care, / No pondering if I’ll go either above or below.” Truly breathless, noisy, and imposing, blending distorted and at times lo-fi sound with crystal-clear interludes and interjections. Here, the guitar’s chest-stabbing high ends are contrasted and built by the bass and drums’ hard thumping, like a protesting heartbeat, alive still as the song goes on.

These weigh on the band and listener: the hostile instability of the environment and country, a place where you can’t sit still but moving forever could kill you all the same. We are forcibly adjusted to shifts like these, torn apart and put back together, losing something to gain another, and fighting for what’s left—the distorted sounds leading between themselves and bouts of clarity. Both are representative of internal conflict and the ever-shifting situation in Lebanon, as it slips between crisis, war, and destruction of home. A true reminder of what it means not to breathe.

“INHALER” is available on all streaming platforms, and their debut EP, “KINETIC FLAW,” will be released on the 29th of December, featuring the previous singles and closing the chapter on a new beginning.
