Progressive (and really technical) thrash band Watchtower is the stuff of legends. The band put out two highly-influential data 4 a long time in the past – Energetic Disassembly in 1985 and Management and Resistance in 1989 – earlier than breaking apart in 1993. Watchtower ultimately reunited and put out an EP referred to as Ideas of Math: Ebook One in 2016, however no new report has ever surfaced… however that may change.
In line with Watchtower vocalist Jason McMaster in a current dialogue with Help Life And Music, he is engaged on it: “I have been engaged on new Watchtower materials, which is… They have not put out a report since ’89. Management And Resistance was ’89.”
Watchtower in 2025 is McMaster, guitarist Ron Jarzombek (Blotted Science, Spastic Ink), bassist Doug Keyser, and drummer Rick Colaluca. On doing extra reside exhibits, McMaster continued: “Watchtower has 5 exhibits in September arising, and we have not performed 5 exhibits in a single month in 20 years or longer, as a result of it is sort of legacy band sort of standing anyway. We did Hell’s Heroes and we did Preserve It True and all that stuff. After which it’s extremely noticed.
“Watchtower I’ve a critical relationship with, as a result of I sort of reduce my tooth as a singer in Watchtower. We began in Could of ’82. That first report got here out in ’85. Excessive Curler simply put out this month our 40th-year-anniversary reissue of Energetic Disassembly. In order that’s out now. And that kind of is bizarre as a result of we simply did all these gigs and about to do a bunch extra.”
Here is hoping this truly occurs, as Watchtower was simply among the best metallic bands of their time. Whilst you’re ready, you possibly can not less than catch Watchtower at considered one of their Texas exhibits this September.
