This Super Bowl is destined to be recorded in history because of Kurt's ups and downs in his career-this is only his first year as the main quarterback of the NFL team, and before that he was only the third substitute. As a result, he won the most valuable player in the regular season as a dark horse, and won the most valuable player after winning the Super Bowl. And created the most sensational topic in history.
The moment of Glory to Death as a guest performer of the halftime show attracted 173 million viewers, and won the attention and support of more than 1.6 billion viewers worldwide. Both figures created It is the most in history, and no one can surpass it in the next two decades, so that this Super Bowl will truly be recorded in the annals of history!
The performance of Glory to Death almost became the biggest highlight of the night, even surpassing the game itself, which aroused everyone's discussion. The three songs performed by the band that night, each of which is a classic, especially the two new songs, which have become the focus of countless people's discussions.
Just the day after the Super Bowl ended, NFL head Paul Talib announced that the second track "Centuries" of the Glory to Death show will become the NFL's theme song for the next season. As the single spread widely over the next year, "Immortal" became the most popular sports inspirational song after "We Are the Champions" and "We. Will. Rock. You". The song even became Paul's most widely acclaimed move during his tenure, which was really unexpected by everyone.
After the Super Bowl came to an end, everyone was boiling, discussing "Sail" tirelessly, discussing "Immortal", and looking forward to "I. Lived". Every song has become the focus of the focus; and reminded by the young volcanoes, people quickly noticed one thing - a very important thing: the fourth album of Glory to the Dead is about to be released on February 3 !
So, in an instant, the whole of North America boiled up.
When February 3rd came, everyone was shocked. Originally, people thought that the 1996 war of the century was the pinnacle of the 1990s. Glory to Death, Oasis and Mariah Carey's troika created A pinnacle that cannot be surpassed at all-not to mention surpassing, even copying seems impossible; but on February 3, 2000, the North American market showed everyone the devastation of rock and roll with practical actions.
Teams of more than 50,000 people gathered at the entrances of record stores in twelve major cities, including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Houston, and mobilized more than one million people to flock into major record stores across the United States, just for the first Time to buy a new album of glory to death, the effect of the Super Bowl has been brought to the extreme.
From "Almost Famous" to "Bath in the Morning Light" to "Storm", the albums of glory to death have brought surprises to people every time, and this time the fourth album, regardless of the quality, people are willing to vote for it. A vote of confidence, almost everyone is curious, what surprises will the death of glory bring? At least the two songs that have appeared since the Super Bowl are enough to get people excited.
At the beginning of the Battle of the Century, sales could easily exceed one million people in a single day, and a total of nearly two million people were mobilized across the United States, truly imprinting the Battle of the Century on the annals of history. This time, relying solely on himself to the death of glory, he mobilized a surge of more than one million people, and once again created a peak moment that only belongs to the death of glory.
Later, someone interviewed the fans who arrived at the scene and asked them why they did so. They originally thought that most of the reasons were "I want to support Glory to death", but I didn't expect that the largest proportion was "What if there are hidden tracks?" ?” This really made people laugh.
There are only 300,000 copies of "Storm" with a hidden track—especially after Hugo and Charlize disclosed their couple identities, many young volcanoes have heard clues from this hidden track. It makes the hidden tracks of "Storm" more and more precious and rare. So this time around, it's no surprise that people think so.
When people open the fourth album of Glory to Death, they see the quietly placed instruments on the cover - drums, keyboards, guitars, bass and microphone stands, all instruments are properly placed, only the band The members come over and they can start playing right away—but the point is, there are no band members on the cover, just the instruments standing there by themselves. The bright red background is like the gushing sun, with a kind of indescribable magnificence and surprise.
Above the instrument, the black font forms a sharp contrast, "The. Glory. Of. Rock & Roll", the name of this album once again attracted everyone's attention. Like the previous three albums, Death to Glory pours its own ideas and the core ideas of the entire album into the title.

Glory to Death is not a group that likes to exaggerate. They named this album "Rock Glory", it must be because they have enough confidence in the whole album, which also broke the already high expectations again.
When I opened the back, I thought I would see Glory to Death, but there was still nothing on it, just pure red, as hot as a flame, with a list of songs in black font, showing ten tracks one by one.
"Save. Rock. & Roll" opens, "It's Not in Waste", "Hero", "Every. Teardrop. Is. A. Waterfall", "Secrets" )" constitutes the second part.
Next "The. World. Is. Ours", "We. Made. It", "Because. We. Can" and "Immortal" are the third. stage, and finally with "Long Live Rock & Roll (Long. Live. Rock&Roll)" to end.
The whole album is very neat, and every song is exciting.
