In a recent interview with The Decibel Geek podcast, Watchtower frontman Jason McMaster has confirmed that he has rejoined the pioneering technical thrash metal band, and they are rehearsing for potential festival appearances to take place in 2024. McMaster (who was the voice of the band's 1985 debut album Energetic Disassembly) was the lead singer of Watchtower from 1982 to 1988, when he left to focus on his then-upcoming hair metal band Dangerous Toys, and again from 1999 to 2010.

When asked about a potential reunion of Watchtower, McMaster said: "Ironically, I rehearsed with Watchtower recently, and we're doing some festivals next year. Holy shit. Yes, just in; that's crazy news. So, you know, well, you know, maybe I let the cat out of the bag, but those are not confirmed… we have been asked to play some festivals. it's possible that we are to do some shows soon. But we have rehearsed a couple of times. And, you know, just on a sidebar, it's weird playing songs for, you know, very sporadically, because I've done reunion things with Watchtower before, but the last one was 20 years ago. The last sort of reunion thing we did we, we went to Amstill Vein, which is just Amsterdam, and played a festival over there. And we did a couple of warmup shows around Texas when we, before we got on the plane, kind of thing. And that was, that was in 2004. So that's what I was gonna say. Is like singing songs that you wrote when you 40 years ago. It's fucking crazy."
