Hailing from Lille in the North of France, the Glowsun story starts in 1997 with the ‘first edition' of the band featuring Johan Jaccob (not only Glowsun's guitarist & vocalist, but also a very talented poster designer). Musicians come and go until Fabrice Cornille (drums) and Ronan Chiron (bass), both ex-Attack Of The Mutant Camels, join in. In 2005 the first ep "Lost Love" is recorded and released. It became the start of international press features and numerous gigs. Glowsun played festivals in Belgium and shared stages with bands like Hypnos 69, My Sleeping Karma (Yellowstock), Dozer (Buzzfest), in France with Nashville Pussy (Rock En Stock), and Switzerland (Underground Festival).
In the beginning of 2008, the band has already spent a long time recording and mastering of what would become their first full album. The lyrics are about man's large unsuitability for his own environment. "The Sundering" was mastered by Göran Finnberg (Spiritual Beggars, Generous Maria, Opeth, In Flames,...) at the Mastering Room in Gothenburg, Sweden.
In march 2009 « The Sundering » is Record of the month in the french mag « Hard Rock Mag ». During this 2 last years, Glowsun shared stages With Karma to Burn, Brant Bjork & the Bros , Yawning Man,Fasto Jetson,My sleeping Karma, Lonely Kamels, Saviours .....
