Twisted Tower Dire

So nach einigen Durchläufen des neuen Albums muss ich wirklich feststellen was für ein feines Scheibchen das doch geworden ist.:) Ich muss da Manuel Trummers Review absolut zustimmen. Ist nicht ganz so eingängig wie die letzte, aber dennoch mit super Melodien ausgestattet. Ach was red ich? And the Sharks Came Then ist ein Ohrwurm vor dem Herrn. :D In meinen Augen hat die lange Pause nicht geschadet! Unbedingt reinhören!
 
Die ersten 4 Songs finde ich supergeil, mit 2 und 3 als Doppelspitze, diese vor sich hin dümpelnde Shark-Nummer nimmt dann aber gewaltig den Fluss raus. Danach wird es zum Glück wieder deutlich stärker, ohne die Hitparade vom Anfang nochmal zu erreichen. Insgesamt für mich aber 'ne starke 8/10. Sollte vielleicht mal mit den letzen 5 Songs anfangen, dann ist die Fallhöhe nicht gegeben.
 
Bin grad voll auf dem TTD trip und der Krempel läuft hier rauf und runter. :D Hab mir jetzt auch mal bei Remedy Records die drei mir fehlenden Alben bestellt. Also die Isle of Hydra, die Crest of the Martyrs und die The Curse of Twisted Tower. Wobei ich die Isle... Schon lange digital habe. Die anderen beiden Alben kenn ich allerdings noch gar nicht. Ich bin mal gespannt. :jubel:

Interview TWISTED TOWER DIRE (Marc & Scott) 2007 - Beer, vomit & love

TWISTED TOWER DIRE were over in Europe to play festival shows on the continent and to include a gig in Ireland as well. We ambushed them at the night of their gig in the legendary Voodoo Lounge to squeeze some info from Marc and Scott about "Netherworlds", which had just been released. We also touched on the history of the band and the key question of what metal really is. Unfortunately, only the short radio edit of the interview has survived until today.
 
"Neues Album" im Anmarsch

Nameless Grave Records is proud to announce a partnership with American power metal gods Twisted Tower Dire to release never before heard specially mastered alternate recordings of Crest of the Martyrs, the way they were meant to be heard! Official promo text below- but long story short, this is an original set of demos featuring the Crest lineup of the band recording the same songs to show their then-label with a slightly different set of arrangements, production much closer to the band's vision than what ended up being released, and I much prefer these versions over the official Crest and am extremely excited to be able to handle this release with Nameless Grave Records!

Nameless Grave Records presents Crest Of The Martyrs Demos, an alternate/demo version of TWISTED TOWER DIRE’s adored third album, making the recordings available for the first time.

In the days of olde, after classic heavy metal was supplanted by extreme music and before the current reignition of interest that the genre has enjoyed, Northern Virginia’s TWISTED TOWER DIRE tirelessly defended true heavy metal in all forms as they sought to breathe new light into a then largely dead genre. By the time their now-legendary third album Crest Of The Martyrs was written they were on top of the world, having played Wacken for the first time a couple years earlier and having released two full-lengths on The Miskatonic Foundation, run by Rich Walker of Solstice fame, as well as a wide array of EPs, splits, compilation tracks, and more.

Crest Of The Martyrs was the next step: a bigger power metal label, sleeker production, and TWISTED TOWER DIRE’s biggest hooks and choruses yet. Underneath the gleaming power metal edge provided by the production provided by the label and studio still lurked the same triumphing true metal band, however, and for the first time Nameless Grave Records is proud to present Crest of the Martyrs the way the band originally intended it: as a devastating, lean set of heavy metal bangers untouched by modern power metal production, and alternate studio decisions.

Old fans of the band can rejoice to have these different set of recordings available for the first time, and new fans can marvel at the powerhouse of one of America’s finest bands playing at their best. Highly recommended for fans of Visigoth, Pharaoh, and Omen.

Recorded in 2002 at Killabrew Studios, produced by Matt Crooks and TWISTED TOWER DIRE, and mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studios, Crest Of The Martyrs Demos is completed with artwork personally done for this release by guitarist Scott Waldrop. The CD version features bonus tracks not included on the vinyl, including a second demo as well as a live track from Wacken 2003, and both the CD and vinyl editions bear liner notes from the band. The LP will be pressed in a total run of 500 copies, including 300 on Black and 100 on Silver. No Remorse Records (Greece) will have an exclusive 100 copies on Light Blue vinyl.

Ein längst überfälliger Release! :verehr:
 
Ist das dann die dritte Version des Albums oder die gleichen Demos, die seit Jahren auf Bandcamp erhältlich ist? Weil "never heard before" wäre ja dann falsch.
