A very happy Halloween/Samhain from all of us at Elysium Towers. It has been some months since we posted. 2017 has been a very quiet year for the band musically but extremely busy personally and so rehearsals and writing sessions have not been plentiful. Unfortunately there really isn’t anything new to report at this time…
To co-incide with our upcoming gigs and to give you a taste of what’s to come on the forthcoming album, we have decided to release “Drown” as a single. It will be available from all good digital outlets and streaming services initially but we intend on a physical release later in the summer with hopefully…
Following on from our previous announcement of our spring/summer gig programme, we are saddened to announce that the Gene Loves Jezebel tour has been cancelled. Therefore, our York appearance is not happening unfortunately. Hopefully we can re-arrange something at The Fulford for a later date since we were looking forward to playing there. However, we…
2017 has been a little bit of a quiet year for us so far but we’ve been steadily piecing new music together in the background. We now have five new pieces in the works from this wave of material, two of which we have aired live so far. Demo sessions and writing continue. Our intention…
2016 has been another good year for us, which saw us playing a fair few gigs and finally completing and releasing our first album. Goth City Festival on 26th November will be our final live appearance of 2016 and presently there is nothing in the calendar looking forward. This has not been completely by design…
“Time and Tide”, our debut album is finally finished. We received the CDs earlier this week and although our official release date is 1st October, we’ve started selling them in passing. Also, it is available for download and streaming from Bandcamp, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Spotify and a whole host of other online outlets. Prices…
In the last 3 months or so, we have been ploughing away both rehearsing for the autumn gigs and conducting more recording sessions. All of the music is now fully recorded for all 10 songs. Vocal recording has been taking place under the production of Martin Hawthorn and is now over half way done. The…
This last period has seen a combination of recording and writing. After the gig at the end of March, we have gone into full hibernation mode. Our rehearsal time is not plentiful (two of us play in other bands), so it has been good to be free of live commitments. We have had a few enquiries…
There hasn’t been much of an update for a while on the recording front. Most of the whole of February was taken up firstly with the Leeds University gig and then various other issues which rendered us unable to rehearse or record. We had made a little progress laying down some guide tracks and a…
As everybody emerges, bleary-eyed into 2015, we are turning our attentions to all things recording. The last thing we recorded and published was the single song Smoke and Mirrors back in the summer of 2013. Apart from this, there are no existing recordings which are representative of the band’s current sound. And so we felt…
