Ten songs of high-energy, classic metal with 70s rock attitude from the streets of New York City!On their first studio album in five years, New York Citys Tower kicks out the jams with vintage metal appeal andclassic rock persuasion that brings the old-school into today!Unexpected disruption. Challenge. Paralyzing chaos and confusion. A reality check. These words all run the gamut ofwhat the world had experienced since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. They also serve as the inspirationfor Shock to the System, the second full-length album from New York City classic metallers Tower.Tower was halfway finished with writing Shock to the System when the pandemic hit. It forced the band (comprisedof vocalist Sarabeth Linden, the guitar tandem of James Danzo and Zak Penley, and drummer James Jones) to findcreative ways to complete the albums ten cuts. For a band accustomed to regular rehearsals and live appearances, theensuing lockdown enabled them to get together only once before heading into Artifact Audio in Ridgewood, NewYork with producer/engineer Sasha Stroud this past May and June. However, the less-than-ideal situation helpedspawn an album of immediacy and energy
