They say that reading music poetically means living it, making the sounds that make it up take center stage and become vital for the person listening. Only in this way does it become a way of holding on to the world; of remaining in it.
Given this premise, Glory Hole touch lIntimate, painful and suffocating spaces of the human being to capture them in his first recording material: Gloria, The Rehabilitation Center. An essence that connected with people from different places and cultures, in order to give an account of daily life.
“I didn't really realize what was happening, it was a kind of rehabilitation for me.

A cycle that ordered from the darkest to the brightest of the journey, starting with the theme of the same album and ending with “It has nothing”.
All the songs are based on the homonymous poetry collection by Gloria Russi, the project's vocalist.

Writing was a way for me to say what was on my mind,” said Gloria Hole.
Despite the ups and downs, the album does not only seek to hit rock bottom, as part of its essence lies in the typical internal navigations that we harbor in our minds, and that only seek to heal and move forward. The only thing left, according to Glory Holeis “to know each other and be happy.”
“The process of the album was to describe things that we were capable of doing and that we didn't think we could do, it was a liberating moment and with many changes in life. We all went through different stages (…) When we saw each other, we connected from the wound, but not to slap each other, but to take refuge among the three of us and say that everything will be fine. We just want to play and be happy,” they highlighted.
