New York City's band Tower has embarked on their third studio album, **Let There Be Dark**, which showcases their heaviest and darkest sound yet. The lead single, **“Under the Chapel,”** features an Eastern-inspired riff and is influenced by a Yiddish lullaby, reflecting a nightmarish vision of the current world.This album marks a shift from their previous rock influences to a pure metal focus. Recorded between October and December 2024 with renowned producer **Arthur Rizk**, the band benefitted from a close partnership, leading to a polished and cohesive sound. The band has also welcomed new drummer **Keith Mikus** and reunited with original bassist **Philippe Arman**.The cover art, designed by **Jared Fleming**, resembles an ancient book and prominently features a serpent, symbolizing themes of civilization and history. As Tower approaches their tenth anniversary in 2025, they express a feeling of growth and maturity, both as musicians and individuals, emphasizing their willingness to take creative risks.Official Links:Bandcamp: https://towernyc.bandcamp.com/releasesMetal Archive: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Tower/3540419232Passionate about metal?

Los hermanos han regrabado los dos primeros trabajos de SEPULTURA, la banda que fundaron. De esta forma, CAVALERA ha reinterpretado tanto el primer EP de la formación brasileña, "Bestial Devastation", así como su primer larga duración, "Morbid Visions".CAVALERA ha trabajado su reinterpretación de ambas obras en The Platinum Underground, con producción a cargo de los dos hermanos, mientras que John Aquilino se ha encargado de la ingeniería de sonido. Arthur Rizk se encargó de la mezcla y masterización de ambos álbumes. Las nuevas portadas para "Bestial Devastation" y "Morbid Visions" han sido realizadas por Eliran Kantor. CAVALERA explica cómo abordó "Bestial Devastation" y "Morbid Visions" Max Cavalera comenta: "A medida que nos hacemos más duros año tras año, ¡a veces tienes que volver a donde todo empezó! Volvimos a grabar Bestial Devastation y Morbid Visions con el increíble sonido actual, pero con su espíritu crudo y atemporal. El artwork refleja los tiempos que estamos viviendo ahora mismo.... ¡Apocalíptico como el infierno! También tenemos dos temas nuevos con riffs de aquellos días, recordados de memoria". Iggor Cavalera afirma: "Siempre sentí que las grabaciones de nuestros primeros trabajos no hacían justicia a la forma en que interpretábamos las canciones. Así que este es un momento muy especial en nuestras vidas en el que estamos muy orgullosos de mostraros a los verdaderos fans nuestra verdadera representación de los increíbles discos Bestial Devastation & Morbid Visions con una identidad visual demencial... disfrutad y nos vemos todos en el foso".

They say "third time's the charm" but we here at Nine Circles believe for Temple of Void, the fourth time's the charm on Summoning the Slayer (Relapse Records). The band is death doom at its core and has been extremely good at it since forming in 2013, but for Summoning... they bring out the ghosts of heavy metal, worship at the altar of the almighty riff, and truly find their calling in the world of extreme sounds. Buke recently sat down with guitarist Alex Awn to discuss the new album and how it came to be, they also discussed album art, working with the highly esteemed Arthur Rizk, the untimely passing of Trevor Strnad, playing Warhammer, and tons more. We now bring you this conversation in its entirety so grab your beverage of choice, a seat, and enjoy.9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
