LINER NOTES
Towers of Gold is the new album by Sacred Outcry, a power metal band from Piraeus in Greece, arriving in their twenty-fifth year. They had built a reputation on a handful of demos before stopping in 2004, and came back more than fifteen years later with Damned For All Time… in 2020, sung by a guest, Yannis Papadopoulos of Beast in Black, in a hard-driving power metal that recalled Manowar and Helloween. This record sets out to join the golden-age European power metal Stratovarius and HammerFall built in the late 1990s to American power metal of the 1980s. The writing is dramatic throughout, the title track running about fifteen minutes, and the singer is Daniel Heiman, formerly of Lost Horizon, heard again after years away. The Japanese edition adds an orchestral version of "Into the Storm". Ward Records released it on 29 December 2023 as GQCS-91415, after the overseas edition of 25 May. Twelve tracks, about sixty-three minutes.
