Hailing from Thessaloniki, Hellas, the Speed / Power Metal force of WHITE TOWER, returns with their second full length release.

The band was formed back in 2020, they released their debut “Terminator” EP the very same year, and their self-titled “White Tower” debut, two years later (2022). The above mentioned releases plus their full of energy and old school vibe live shows, helped the band to develop a strong name and fan base within the local heavy metal underground.

To tell you the truth I was never a big fan of the band. I mean their ACCEPT-ish classic Heavy Metal style mainly inspired by the German and Central – European scene was never my big type of thing. So I was under a huge shock when I heard an advance copy of their second full length that will be released on Steel Gallery Records. No this was not just a huge shock, that was a total destruction… No this was not just a total destruction. This was a massive Armageddon. I am speechless…. Why? Read the lines above and you will understand.

The band’s sophomore release is here: The “Night Hunters” full length highlights a sound evolution from the classic Heavy Metal vibe that marked the group’s first era, to a solid US Speed / Power mixture, totally inspired by the 80s sound.

You should expect nothing but killer riffing, huge vocal performances and an overdose of classic 80s US Metal!

This is first class US Steel in the vein of AGENT STEEL, HEXX, HELSTAR and LIEGE LORD (second, third album).

Amazing vocal performance (I still can NOT believe that in this release we are listening to the SAME singer that was featured on the two previous releases but yes he is the same and he has managed to developed an amazing vocal style!). Gago Karapetian rules.

The US Power / Speed Metal formula is the main one in here, however we can can hear lots of classic Metal influences and extra touches of melodies as well -always in the United States of Steel vein-. Great balancing in here.

It seems that the band has set a huge goal and has managed to achieve it: To focus on the US Metal realm and to develop a brand new and outstanding soundscape -compared to their previous works-.

So yes, for me this second full length by WHITE TOWER was one of the biggest surprises for 2024! It simply rules!

New album, new line up, new sound, new songs of absolute power!

Beware the Night Hunters!


The album will be released by Steel Gallery Records, on December 6th. You can pre-order it here.

I breathe for music. And I am more than sure that my mission in this universe is to make everybody agree that "Awaken The Guardian" by FATES WARNING is the best album ever released, yes in all musical genres. My next mission is to feed homeless cats and when I am not busy with all this stuff I listen to US Prog / Power and Epic Doom Metal. And I cast spells in rituals in order to awake the old ones.
