New Zealand's eclectic purveyor of progressive death metal, MetalTower, has risen in its 3rd incarnation with a beast of technical wizardry named 'Myopic Dystopia'. Two and a half years in the making, this monolith
of an intricate musical journey has come together through the mixing and mastering skills of Cam Sinclair (ex-Diocletian), allowing MetalTower a tighter and clearer sound to match th
eir progression. Drawing from influences ranging from Deicide to Dream Theater, Slayer to Symphony X, Emperor to Pink Floyd, MetalTower take you on a trip through the darkness of the modern age with 'Myopic Dystopia', discussing the emptiness, dispair, and frightening imaginings brought about by a crumbling world due to our lack of foresight. From the mid 2000's MetalTower have maintained a strong pressence in the New Zealand metal scene, with psyche dismantling shows and mad metal antics alongside kiwi brothers BlackTooth, Amachine, Horrendous Disfigurement, Gunt, Integracia, Winter Deluge, Destitude, Slave Cadaver and Execrate among countless others, while also having the pleasure of opening for some international acts to grace New Zealand's shores such as Carcass, Krisiun and Psycroptic.. The release of 'Myopic Dystopia' shows a desire from MetalTower to return to the fray with a better, more finely tuned album by unleashing a musical concoction of cold complex brutality
mixed with offerings of an elaborate progressive nature. This new vision recently brought MetalTower to
Australian shores alongside NZ metal titans
Exordium Mors and Nullier for a short stab at twisting some minds from across the ditch. Plans are already in the pipeline for a follow up to Myopic Dystopia, with one unreleased song already in the live set, and mindsets toward an EP. Get "Myopic Dystopia" from
