Original band with Jason McMaster is back together apparently for awhile now but i just found out. I have their Energetic Disassembly record and it is said to be the first math metal release ever.

They're back for playing shows or releasing a new album? Sorry, can't click on that link now.

They need to forget about shows and just finish up that album IMHO.

Unfortunately the band won't release the long overdue new record. They are still officially together but on hiatus. Ron was the one pushing for the record but other members have different priorities.

Watchtower are awesome! I like the Control and Resistance the most though with Alan Tecchio on vocals!

^Agreed! I've only just started listening to them, but from what I've heard (The album Control and Resistance), they're pretty awesome. How is their first album (Energetic Disassembly, I think it's called)?

Divebomb Records has reissued the classic WATCHTOWER album. This is progressive metal at it's finest.

Watchtower 300

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.
