A new year brings a trifecta of action from cult New York City metallers TOWER: A fresh single, European tour and a new album—in that order!
Hot off the heels of an intensive touring schedule since the release of 2021’s “Shock To The System”, TOWER pulled off the road and hit the studio with acclaimed producer and engineer Arthur Rizk (BLOOD INCANTATION, CAVALERA, KING DIAMOND) from October to December 2024 to record “Let There Be Dark”, which will see the light of day this spring via Cruz Del Sur Music.
According to the band, “Let There Be Dark” was influenced by the current foreboding state of the world, and it shows—its first single, “Under The Chapel”, is an ominous hymn that cascades through a nightmarish dreamscape, amplified with backing vocals by Jason Tarpey from the band Eternal Champion.
“The song’s lyrics and melody were inspired by a Yiddish lullaby my grandmother would sing to me as a child,” says frontwoman Sarabeth Linden. “It always felt extremely haunting. It was really cool to use that as inspiration and also pay homage to my grandmother and my heritage.”
The 7-inch, “Under The Chapel"(c/w Iron Clad), and accompanying music video will be released on February 21, just in time for TOWER’s return to the stage in select cities in Europe. The band will be bashing out the single’s two tracks and older favorites during the run.
