To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Twisted Tower Dire's debut release The Curse of Twisted Tower, Heaven & Hell Records has released a deluxe reissue of The Curse of Twisted Tower, long out of print and notoriously difficult to track down.
To truly appreciate Twisted Tower Dire's debut album, you need to consider the era in which it was originally recorded. It's difficult to imagine now, when fantasy-based traditional/power metal bands are literally a dime a dozen, but there was a time when that kind of music was as underground as it gets. That's what makes Twisted Tower Dire's unlikely beginning such a remarkable story. Unlike their European counterparts (think Blind Guardian, Morgana Lefay, Rhapsody et al), there was no built-in fanbase for traditional/power metal in America. It took real dedication for an American band to embrace the true metal sound in the mid 1990's. Fortunately, the metal warriors in Twisted Tower Dire were up to the challenge.
