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 band members 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.
