Watchtower - Working On New Material
During an appearance on the latest "Lead Singers Discussion" SLAM summit panel for Support Life And Music, Watchtower vocalist Jason McMaster has confirmed that the band is working on new material. Other than one new EP back in 2016 called Concepts Of Math: Book One, Watchtower's last studio album to date is 1989's Control And Resistance while McMaster last recorded with the band in 1985 on their debut album Energetic Disassembly.
Jason McMaster said: "I've been working on new Watchtower material, which is… They haven't put out a record since '89. [Watchtower's second album] Control And Resistance was [released in] '89... Watchtower has five shows in September coming up, and we haven't played five shows in one month in 20 years or longer, because it's kind of legacy band kind of status anyway. We did Hell's Heroes [festival] and we did Keep It True [festival] and all that stuff. And then it's very spotted. Watchtower I have a serious relationship with, because I kind of cut my teeth as a singer in Watchtower. We started in May of '82. That first record came out in '85. High Roller just put out this month our 40th-year-anniversary reissue of Energetic Disassembly. So that's out now. And that sort of is weird because we just did all these gigs and about to do a bunch more."
