Watchtower Sign to Magnetic Eye Records; New EP out March 10
Australian megasludgers Watchtower have inked a deal to align with New York’s Magnetic Eye Records for the release of their new EP, Radiant Moon. It will be out digitally on March 10 and preorders are up now from the label and the band, who follow on the heels of fellow Melbourne natives Horsehunter in signing with Magnetic Eye but whose release will actually be out first — Horsehunter‘s Caged in Flesh LP is due in April — therefore changing the timeline to who-knows-what future-historical consequences.
The heavy rock boom in Melbourne continues unabated, and for Watchtower, Radiant Moon follows the 2014 live-recorded single Absinthism, which you can hear on the player below as a demonstration of their riffy wares. But first, the announcement of the signing from Magnetic Eye and the band’s comment on the situation.
Have at you:
Magnetic Eye Records and Watchtower are very pleased to announce that the band have signed to NY based record label Magnetic Eye Records.
Watchtower’s new EP Radiant Moon will be available for D/D purchase and steaming at store.merhq.com and/or direct from the band at https://watchtowerwatchtower.bandcamp.com on Tuesday 10th of March from 7pm AEST.
As the band put it:
“A little early, but we are extremely happy to announce that we have signed to NY based label Magnetic Eye Records. Our new EP, Radiant Moon is available for digital preorder now at both https://watchtowerwatchtower.bandcamp.com and https://magneticeyerecords.bandcamp.com/album/radiant-moon and will be available for digital download and streaming from Tuesday 10/03/2015!!”
Special that k’s to Henry Bennett for the album art.
