Kom med til heavy metal brag hvor canadiske Smoulder besøger Danmark for første gang sammen med amerikanske Tower.
Smoulder:
Firebrand epic doomsters SMOULDER have been shockingly busy since releasing The Sword Woman. After forming in
2013 as a duo helmed by Sarah Ann and S. Vincent, the band recorded their years-in-the-making demo. Picked up for
release by Hoove Child Records, the three track demo immediately sold out its 150 run, prompting a 300 run of vinyl.
After cementing their lineup - which includes guitarist Collin Wolf, drummer Kevin Hester and bassist Adam Blake
- the band was invited to perform at the Hammer of Doom festival in WÜrzburg, Germany for their fourth ever live
performance. It was at the festival the band was approached by Cruz Del Sur label head Enrico Leccese, who cemented
their partnership for the release of their first full-length, Times Of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring.
Exceptionally well received, the record prompted glowing reviews and festival invites worldwide. It appeared on numer-
ous best of 2019 album courtesy of Metal Hammer, Decibel, MetalSucks, and more. The vinyl, CD and cassette run all
quickly sold out, prompting five represses.
With their eyes firmly fixed on the future, SMOULDER released their follow-up EP Dream Quest Ends via Cruz del
Sur on March 13, 2020. The original 1000 run of vinyl sold out months before release and the label announced an
additional 500 press. Featuring two originals , including “Dream Quest Ends” and “Warrior Witch of Hel” alongside a
stirring cover of Manilla Road’s “Cage of Mirrors”, the EP received rave reviews. Scheduled to coincide with numerous
gigs in Greece, Germany, Canada and the USA, the band’s tour was sidelined by the pandemic. Instead, they set to
work on their sophomore album. Ten tracks are now complete; it will be recorded in Helsinki (Where the band is now
based) in July 2022. With cover art again provided by world renowned fantasy painter Michael Whelan and narration by
world renowned fantasy author Michael Moorcock (who has similarly worked with Blue Öyster Cult and Hawkwind),
SMOULDER aim to regain the momentum earned from their debut and spend 2023 dominating the live arena.
With swords raised to the sky, SMOULDER marches into battle!
"This is a masterpiece of Mystical Epic Metal: skull crushing, magical and chaotic." - Forgotten Scroll
"Delivers riff after riff of sword-wielding epic metal glory. Fans of Manilla Road, Cirith Ungol and Cauchemar should find a lot to love." - Decibel Magazine

+ Special Guests: Tower
Six years deep into a long and winding highway to hell, New York City's TOWER have cruised into a new chapter with sophomore release "Shock To The System" via Cruz Del Sur Music! Drawing from influences such as Judas Priest, Scorpions, and a gluttonous diet of 20th century rock and metal, the band cooks up their own mix of melodic, speedy riffs, and powerful vocals that will want you hungry for more. With their debut self-titled LP and interim EP “Tomorrow and Yesterday”, TOWER embarked on several tours, opening for the likes of Uli Jon Roth and Pentagram, and a milestone appearance at Germany's Metal Assault Festival in February of 2020. TOWER are ready to get back on the road to visit their European and American friends once again. As always, Stay Tuned and PLAY IT LOUD!
"A powerful combination of catchy earworms, killer vocal lines, and riff after goddamn riff." -Invisible Oranges
"Tower is a band who not only deserves your attention, but demands it. Their riffs and hooks don’t come off as NWOBHM worship, but rather go toe to toe with the finest bands of that legendary era." -Defenders of the Faith
"It’s not just the band’s excellent performance, nor the brilliant songs, or the warm production, neither the catchy guitars nor the choruses that stick to your mind…it’s all the above together and each of one separately that makes Tower’s “Shock to the System” one of the strongest albums of 2021." -Metal Invader
