about
Twisted Tower Dire is an American heavy metal band formed in Chantilly, Virginia in 1995 and are now currently residing in North Carolina and are currently signed to Remedy Records. The band stated their aim as "resurrecting True Heavy Metal", drawing strong influence from Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Manowar and others. In 1999, the band was able to record a self produced debut after a series of demos and split records. After releasing two legendary demos, several split EPs and contributing to various sampler CD's to critical acclaim, the band began working with long time fan and Solstice guitarist Rich Walker. He had recently formed a new label called The Miskatonic Foundation and offered to support the recording and distribution of the first Twisted Tower Dire album. The band unleashed their self produced, full-length debut in 1999. Despite a modest budget, "The Curse of Twisted Tower" won over many dedicated fans that appreciated Twisted Tower Dire's traditional yet unique sound. From 1999 to 2000, the band embarked on a relentless, self-financed world tour in support of "Curse". This tour included U.S. appearances at the Milwaukee Metal Fest, March Metal Meltdown, The Powermad Fest, Phantasmagoria Metal Fest, and The North Carolina Metal Fest. A European stretch of the tour followed with fellow metal heathens The Lord Weird Slough Feg and Solstice including several club dates and appearances at the Wacken Open Air Festival and the Bradford Metal Inquisition
