A new year brings a trifecta of action from cult New York City metallers TOWER: A fresh single, European tour and new LP - in that order!

Hot off the heels of an intensive touring schedule since the release of 2021\u2019s \"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, \u201cLet There Be Dark\u201d was influenced by the current foreboding state of the world and it shows - its first single, \"Under The Chapel\", is a haunting lullaby that cascades into a nightmarish dreamscape.

\"The song\u2019s lyrics and melody were inspired by a Yiddish lullaby my grandmother would sing to me as a child,\u201d says frontwoman Sarabeth Linden. \u201cIt 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\" vinyl (also featuring the song \"Iron Clad\") and music video will be released on February 21st, just in time for TOWER\u2019s return to the stage in select cities in Europe. The band will be bashing out the single\u2019s two tracks and older favorites during the run.

Four years have passed since the release of \"Shock To The System\". For the members of TOWER, their growth could not be more evident on \"Let There Be Dark\".

\"These years have hardened and matured us if nothing else,\u201d says guitarist James Danzo. \u201cI 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\u2019ve grown and matured as a band,\u201d adds Linden. \u201cHowever, rock n roll is here to stay! And the rock definitely still influences our music, at least lyrically and melodically speaking. I believe we\u2019ve 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,\u201d closes guitarist Zak Penley. \u201cWe 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.\"
