Divebomb Records has reissued the classic WATCHTOWER album. This is progressive metal at it's finest.
OVERVIEW:
WATCHTOWER’s Control And Resistance, is a work for the ages, a tech-metal cornerstone, an album that didn’t fit in back in 1989, and certainly has nothing to do with where metal would branch off to when WATCHTOWER themselves laid dormant throughout the 1990s. And that’s the real beauty of Control And Resistance. The rebel spirit of heavy metal isn’t really found in the hordes of spikes-and-leather clone bands and similar fourth-raters that continue to litter Metalworld. The true rebel spirit of heavy metal is right here, in the eight sophisticated songs of Control And Resistance that exist only because the creators wanted to bring something truly original into the world. Odd, maybe, that true metal spirit would burn brightest on an album of sublime, progressive tech-metal, but there you have it.
