Score to an imagined Giallo / Horror film , below is a synopsis:

"A wealthy invalid accused of a series of murders apparently escapes from the police, and is subsequently found dead in a river. A model is attacked by a shadowy figure, because she is presumed to know something about the disappearance. The crime turns out to have been a hoax calculated by her mother to drive her insane."

Review:
"Hearkening back to an era of horror that is years long gone, Death Smiles at the Crystal Grave is a well-executed blend of nostalgia and nuance. Much of the synth work quickly takes you back to the slasher films of the early to late 80s and all their affiliated properties such as video games. Tracks like the slightly Nintendo-esque "Empty Grave" lean heavily into the nostalgia with a slow and eerie arpeggiated piano line joined in by dramatic string stabs. It truly gives the vibe that it could have just seamlessly been included in a Friday the 13th soundtrack. But it isn't all just palpable nostalgia here as Teeth of Glass manage to intertwine modern synth sensibilities alongside the retro stylings, an approach exemplified in tracks such as "Center of the Ever-Widening Pool of Red." Throughout its runtime, the album manages to pay homage to the horror films of the time without going overboard." - On The Fringes of Sound

"As if you couldn’t tell from the classic album title, Patrick R. Park’s Teeth Of Glass project’s newest release(via Waxing Crescent Records) is an homage to classic giallo films. Death Smiles At The Crystal Grave is a tension-filled electro panic attack of an album that gives us all the great sonic goodies we love about a giallo score; wonky electronics, tinkling piano lines that sound like blood running down a eggshell-white wall, and enough mleodrama to make Mario Bava purr like a kitty.

This 7-track opus narrates a story through music that according to the album synopsis which states “A wealthy invalid accused of a series of murders apparently escapes from the police, and is subsequently found dead in a river. A model is attacked by a shadowy figure, because she is presumed to know something about the disappearance. The crime turns out to have been a hoax calculated by her mother to drive her insane.”

Like most Giallo films it’s best not to think too hard about what you’re seeing on the screen and just enjoy the visceral delights. Teeth Of Glass have an album’s worth of visceral delights for your ears, so hit play, lock in, and get lost for a bit. " - J Hubner, Complex Distractions
