TOWER RETURN with new ALBUM “URIEL” after a 20-year break


Tower is a Polish band founded in 1994 (originally as Gothic Flowers) by Piotr Kolleck, who together with the bands AionMedeborSirrah and Sacriversum co-created the heavier part of the gothic metal scene in Poland.

In the 90s, the group released two very well-received albums: The Swan Princess (1998) and Mercury (1999). In 1999, the formation performed at the Metalmania festival – one of the largest metal festivals in this part of Europe, and appeared as a support for Bruce Dickinson. Unfortunately, the band broke up in 1999, just before the planned concert at the Castle Party festival.
