InfluencesAnything progressive that came before them, bands such as Rush. 70's and 80's heavy metal. Jazz and Fusion.
Sounds LikeNo other band before it. Chaotic at times, melodic at times, never boring. The most well known bands that even approach the sound are Spiral Architect, Cynic and a few other later progressive bands. None of them match the intensity of WatchTower.

   About Watchtower
WatchTower was formed in May 1982 in Austin, Texas. The lineup consisted of guitarist Billy White, drummer Rick Colaluca, bassist Doug Keyser and vocalist Jason McMaster. Originally a cover band, the years brought original material, and their sound evolved in a progressive direction. Influences range from progressive bands such as Rush to heavy metal of the time. They released two studio albums, Energetic Disassembly and Control And Resistance. Energetic Disassembly was released with the original lineup. For the second album, the lineup was changed a bit. Billy White left to pursue other musical directions, and was replaced by Ron Jarzombek. Jason McMaster left Watchtower to be full time with Dangerous Toys, and was replaced by Mike Soliz (from the band, Militia). Mike recorded one song and toured for a bit, but eventually left. Alan Tecchio, from the band Hades, replaced Mike Soliz for recording the album Control And Resistance. Since then, Demonstrations In Chaos was released. It is basically rare and unreleased material. Recently, plans were set for recording of a new album, titled Mathematics. Due to circumstances such as the recorded material being lost and band members having prior obligations, there is no immediate plan for Mathematics to be released. There may still be hope for Mathematics, but it's mot likely to be soon. All the past and present band members are involved in other projects.

Hey there guys, just stopping by to say Hi. Also, just incase you haven't seen the Bulletins. My Metal radio show has a new night as well as a new station. Same time as before 20:00pst until (usually) midnight pst. But, the station is now www.hardrockradiolive.com and the day is now Saturdays. Hope you all can find your way there some Saturday night, could be a little insurance that you will magically be in my playlist, hahaha. Hard Rock Radio Live is consistantly one of the Top 10 Metal stations on Shoutcast. We have a chatroom also, stop by some Saturday and say hi.
