TŴR

TŴR (pronounced “Tur” /tʊr/ ) is a Death Metal project based in Costa Rica, Central America, created by Matthew Wallace and Erick Sanchez, joined soon after by Roy Zumbado; all of them coming from different metal bands like Volture, Advent of Bedlam/Animus Barathrum and Dry Bones Army.
TŴR started in 2017 with Matthew Wallace and Erick Sanchez who came up with the idea of creating head-banging Death Metal along with unusual lyrical and visual concepts, like The Legend of Zelda lore and themes as source material for a single. (fun fact both Matthew and Erick have tattoos related to Zelda). Needing vocals for the project, they reached out to Roy Zumbado, who previously collaborated with Matthew in previous music projects, and a good friend of both. After a couple of meetings they took the initiative of asking Federico Valerin, a well known guitar teacher in Costa Rica, fellow musician and friend, to add solos and his creative drive to the single. Roy suggested hiring Kevin Talley as studio drummer whom he met when both played at a festival in Costa Rica back in 2013, and that's how Black Tower came to be.
