Об исполнителе (группе)
TWISTED TOWER DIRE was formed in 1995 as a result of the members’ dissolution with the music of the times - they wanted to play classic style heavy metal. Early successes include two albums, "The Curse Of Twisted Tower" and "The Isle Of Hydra", and a European tour including an appearance at Wacken Open Air festival in 1999. In 2003, the band released their 3rd studio album, "Crest Of The Martyrs". The release was followed by a second European tour, incl. another appearance at the Wacken festival. The band continued to perform live shows on the East Coast and Midwest of the US, and released their 4th album, "Netherworlds" in 2007.
That same year, longtime vocalist Tony Taylor left the band and was replaced by Jonny Aune. Soon after the band traveled to Europe again, to perform at the Keep It True festival in Germany with additional shows in Ireland and Greece. Tragedy struck three years later, when Tony Taylor died in a tragic motorcycle accident. The band dedicated their next album, "Make It Dark" (2011) to his memory. After the release of this album, the band’s activity concentrated more on live performances, including several festival appearances, while continuing to work on material for a new album. That album is "Wars In The Unknown", and it will be released on March 15, 2019, on No Remorse Records.
