Cruz Del Sur Music<\/strong> new recording artists TWISTED TOWER DIRE <\/strong>will perform a free show at the Divebar in Raleigh, NC<\/strong> on Friday January 21st, 2011 together with Earache recording artists HOUR OF 13<\/strong>. All of the metal heads out there in the steamy American Mid-South should head out for a night of entertainment! <\/p>\n This North Carolina\/Virginia based band has been blasting stages across the US and Germany for the past 11 years, and is due to release their 5th studio album, “Make it Dark”, <\/strong>via Cruz del Sur Music<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In the words of guitarist Scott waldrop, as of Dec 2010, TWISTED TOWER DIRE<\/strong> \u201cMake it Dark\u201d<\/strong> is in the final stages of production being mixed by Chris Salamon (While Heaven Wept<\/strong> producer) and assisted by Tom Phillips <\/strong>of WHW<\/strong>. The raw drums, bass and guitar tracks were engineered and produced by Marc Stauffer and TTD last summer. The raw vocals were engineered\/produced by Johnny Wooten (Widow<\/strong>) and TTD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The band is\u00a0using this album to redress some of the flaws of the previous \u201cNetherworlds\u201d<\/strong> and bounce back with a well produced catchy album which showcases the unique voice of new\u00a0singer Jonny Aune, seeing as how this is the bands’ first album without their former singer Tony Taylor (RIP).<\/p>\n The main guts of the songs (lyrics and chord progressions) were written by guitarist Scott Waldrop, and the rest of the band members helped comb over and perfect all the details which is the way TTD<\/strong> has always done things. This is the first album where the band haven\u2019t had Tony as a major song-writer\/contributor, so fans will hear a noticeable shift in influence. The style and content has departed a bit from fantasy-inspired \u201cbattle metal\u201d to follow a more late 70\u2019s American punk\/nwobhm<\/span> influence, mainly because that\u2019s one of Scott’s fixations, and no one in the band stopped him from writing all the lyrics …\u00a0 You can therefore \u00a0expect less songs about fighting dragons and more songs about darkness and evil women (but don\u2019t worry, no love songs included).<\/p>\n Check out the band’s live output in this fan recorded live show, and head out to the Raleigh show!!<\/strong><\/p>\n httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iUmWa75j5hw<\/p>\n Cruz Del Sur Music new recording artists TWISTED TOWER DIRE will perform a free show at the Divebar in Raleigh, NC on Friday January 21st, 2011 together with Earache recording artists HOUR OF 13.
