New York City-based heavy metal band Tower have signed an album contract with Italian label Cruz Del Sur Music, confirming this development on October 29th, 2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the deal, Tower guitarist James Danzo commented: \u201cWe\u2019re close friends with Nate Honor and Jim Hunter, whose bands Sanhedrin and Twisted Tower Dirge are\/were on Cruz Del Sur. We heard so many good things about Cruz that it was pretty clear from the beginning which route we should take. In the few years we\u2019ve been a band, we\u2019ve learned not to rush into things and to be very deliberate, but we know we made the right choice!\u201d<\/p>\n

Formed in 2015, Danzo described the first four years of Tower\u2019s existence as a \u201creal wild ride\u201d, with the band going from formation to the demo stage, to playing shows, then scoring their first record deal for the release of their self-titled album in 2016. \u201cIn this crazy world of ours not everything is ice cream sundaes and cherries on top – we\u2019ve been through some changes with line-ups and labels when it became clear we had different goals in mind. We look back with pride on our debut album and especially the new EP [October 2019\u2019s Tomorrow & Yesterday<\/em>]. It\u2019s been a huge boost in morale and poured gasoline on the fire inside us!<\/p>\n

\u201cMetal bands love to say, \u2018we hate image!\u2019\u201d noted Danzo, \u201cbut truth be told, we have a vision and are very protective of it. It\u2019s important to us to come across as real, first and foremost. Everyone in the band has a unique style and persona and we aren\u2019t about to mess with it. We try to avoid clich\u00e9s when it comes to album covers, too – so far photographs have worked, they\u2019re just classic and real. We\u2019re just here to kick some ass and I think that comes across clear as day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tower are currently preparing material for their forthcoming second full-length studio album, which is slated for issue in mid-2020. Danzo said: \u201cUnlike the last two releases which took forever in spaced-out sessions from weekend to weekend, we plan on blocking out 7-10 days of studio time and doing it as a concise and complete project like a band would do in the old days. Onward and upward!\u201d<\/p>\n

Tower\u2019s line-up is as follows:<\/p>\n

Sarabeth Linden (vocals)
\nJames Danzo (guitar, ex-Vermef\u00fcg)
\nZak Penley (guitar)
\nJeff Filmer (bass, ex-Vermef\u00fcg)
\nClaire Vastola (drums)<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s self-titled debut studio record was released in October 2016 via The End Records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
