Could Glass Helmet be an Asian band?

New "song" on their page "Ockem's Razor".

[EDIT] to add:

Ockem's Razor
William of Ockem was an English medieval scientist who first observed that, in weighing competing causes for a scientific phenomenon, the hypothesis with the least amount of variables was usually the correct one. He described cutting off extraneous theories and ultimately arriving at the core solution. Put another way, the scientific theory, which has multiple factors, is less likely to be truly causative than a theory, which has, at its root, one simple explanation. This process has been called "Ockem's Razor." Thus, in analyzing any scientific phenomenon, it may be of value to look for the solution that has the least amount of variables.

Why the spelling variance?

Ockham, Ocham, Occam, or Ocham?

Hm. A bit of connect the dots just went on, not sure if this has any relevance, but given the fact that the movie clearly features hazmat suits, and the idea of "the cause" and the references to cleaning up the environment, could "glass helmets" refer to people in hazmat suits?

Ockham's Razor, eh?

I just learned about that in a lecture.

Hello All

More info and songs coming soon. The Album has taken up all of our time recently, but as soon as we finish mastering, we'll get more stuff online for all of you to check out. Thanks for all the interest and messages!

Just uploaded "Ockem's Razor" for your listening pleasure. We're cranking out mixes by the day, and we'll probably post some not-yet-final ones to get your feedback.

With regards to the requests for lyrics, we will publish them with the complete album, but we want to present them as a complete work, rather than piecemeal. Thanks for all the interest, and we should have another 2 or 3 tracks online within the week!

Bold Futura has recruited one hundred of the top physics majors graduating from universities around the world.

From glass helmets:
"The Glass Helmets bring together many disparate elements of the global metal scene into a sound that is fierce, often grandiose, but still earnest. Their still unreleased LP, "Hyperion and his disciples" is an album in the truest sense, with an often cryptic, but fairly clever narrative about physicists doing battle with the pantheon of greek gods in a dystopian future.
