Frontman Bjørnar comments on the re-issue and shows: "We are thrilled to hold, see and admire the new edition of "The Tower" in the flesh. The new print run turned out really nice, with colour variations making each record individual. We are also glad to see that a lot of people have been waiting for this, making the pre-sales exceed our expecations, and this edition seems like it will sell out fast. Remember! In the post apocalyptic wasteland, only physical format is real!"

"The Tower" is the third studio album by Norwegian hard rock band Vulture Industries, originally released on September 30, 2013. Known for their mix of progressive metal, dark rock, and theatrical elements, the album continues the band’s exploration of complex and atmospheric soundscapes. It combines intricate, sometimes dissonant riffs with elements of black metal, post-punk, and art rock, often switching between atmospheric, melodic sections and more aggressive, intense passages.
Lyrically, the album delves into themes of personal conflict, societal decay, and existential despair. The title track, 'The Tower' captures the essence of the album with its metaphorical exploration of isolation and oppression. The lyrics are abstract and poetic, inviting listeners to reflect on the human condition and the psychological weight of modern life. The album’s concept is built around these dark, thought-provoking themes, creating an immersive experience.
Critically, "The Tower" was praised for its ambitious and multi-faceted approach, with many highlighting its blend of progressive structures and emotional depth. It marked a progression for Vulture Industries in terms of musical maturity, as they refined their sound and further distanced themselves from traditional metal tropes. The album resonated with fans of avant-garde metal, drawing attention for its blend of challenging music and poetic, introspective lyricism.
