New York City metal act Tower is back in 2025 with a handful of pretty killer news! Tower will follow up their 2021 record Shock To The System with a new 7″ titled Under The Chapel / Iron Clad due out February 21, followed by a European tour and then a full-length album named Let There Be Dark this spring. All the new music was recorded with producer and engineer Arthur Rizk (Blood Incantation, Cavalera, King Diamond, etc.).
The 7″ Under The Chapel / Iron Clad and music video will be released on February 21, just in time for Tower‘s return to the stage in select cities in Europe. Get those dates below and pre-order the 7″ here.
“These years have hardened and matured us if nothing else,” said Tower guitarist James Danzo. “I hear less rock ‘n roll influence in our music now. We went from straddling the fence between rock and metal to landing squarely on the metal side.”
“I agree with James with how we’ve grown and matured as a band,” added Tower frontwoman Sarabeth Linden. “However, rock n roll is here to stay! And the rock definitely still influences our music, at least lyrically and melodically speaking. I believe we’ve gained more confidence, especially when it comes to taking more risks in songwriting and recording in the studio.”
“We’ve pushed ourselves in new directions and we have a greater understanding of what makes a Tower song and album,” closed Tower guitarist Zak Penley. “We are allowing ourselves to be faster and also slower at times, introducing some embellishments in the process to really get the mood we are going for.”
