WATCHTOWER Energetic Disassembly LP
__________________________________________________________(Back On Black)
*** This is a new and unplayed item, direct from the CRUCIAL BLAST shop. ***
DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
This classic slab of early prog-thrash is finally available on vinyl, re-issued by Back On Black on limited edition 180 gram colored vinyl...
A total mind-blower when it came out in 1985, Watchtower's debut album Energetic Disassembly hit the thrash crowd right between the eyes with one part ripping thrash metal assault, one part fusiony tech musicianship and songwriting that was way beyond what anyone else was doing at the time. These eight songs deliver the ferocious angular metal assault that made 'em famous, each song brimming with razor-edged riffs wound into dizzying complex structures, moving in and out of various tempos and time signatures without warning, whipping their intricate thrash metal into often baffling forms. The bass guitar is a lot more prominent here than on most thrash albums, tearing through crazy jazz-informed runs and fusion-style shredding (check out the totally bonkers basswork on "Cimmerian Shadows", my goddamn jaw hit the floor the first time I heard it), and the rhythm section as a whole is one of the most formidable units in the 80s thrash pantheon. Jason McMaster's crazed falsetto vocals on Energetic Disassembly (which would eventually be tempered when he joined LA hair metallers Dangerous Toys later on) has always been one of the things that many thrash fans couldn't wrap their heads around, as the guy's singing can get incredibly over-the-top; imagine Rob Halford with his nuts caught in a steam press. But for me, this is a crucial part of Watchtower's insane sound, as integral to their unique prog-thrash genius as all of the wild virtuosic shredding and mathematical riff arrangements.
An essential album for fans of 80's avant-thrash metal, Energetic Disassembly is as important to the development of progressive and experimental thrash as Dimension Hatröss and To Mega Therion as far as I'm concerned. © CRUCIAL BLAST
