MetalTower is, was, and shall be since ages ago, but as it stands now, rose out of a torrential storm of Double Brown that hit Gisborne, New Zealand, in the summer of 2004/2005. MetalTower is equipped with an impressive array of aural assault weapons such as two lead guitars, a fretless finger bass, violently uncompromising drums, and some sort of vocalistic abysmalism.
Since the original summoning in Gisborne, MetalTower has risen in various villages across the North Island of New Zealand including Tauranga, Hamilton, Mount Maunganui, Whakatane, Rotorua, Auckland, Napier and Wellington.
With a set that embraces all aspects of metal (and some outside it), MetalTower leaves many an audience with naught to do but stare vacantly as they attempt to comprehend. Stumped for a genre name to pin to their brand of uninhibited madness, MetalTowerions were often heard to remark, "We just play normal metal," unwittingly penning their own genre name, Normal Metal. However, standing around the stew pot one evening they discovered that they were actually Progressive CoreCore, a subgenre of EverythingCore, closely related to Technical StuffCore. MetalTower have also been known to dabble in elements of Professional MistakeCore. Trying to sound more brutal MetalTower have begun to play a brand of relentless gnattering that can only be described as 'Foetus dying in the womb of a woman whose husband's away at war dying on the battlefield' metal.
MetalTower released the 2 track demo 'MetalTowerFartHatliftDoubleBrown' in late 2006. 100 copies were distributed to those closest to MetalTower at the time. 'MetalTowerFartHatliftDoubleBrown' contained the songs 'Gory Gory', a tale of battle in a world without the undeserved power that a gun brings to it's owner, and 'Stop Stopping', a captivating epic on the subject of overcoming adversity.
MetalTower released of their first full length album, 'Ology', on September 27th 2008, at Brewers Bar, Mount Maunganui
They are now in the grips of recording their newest round of bollocks which is already promising to sound 73 billion times better than their first thing.
MetalTower will be playing shows whenever the fuck anyone asks us to or when can be bothered organising them.
