Together, they make for one of the most exciting and impressive acts that’s guaranteed to blow up even further very soon.

Stephen Feuer provides the drums, Evan Fortgang and Niko Karras cover guitar duties while Myles Weinfeld brings the bass and additional vocals to the band. Led by a truly exhilarating dual vocal assault from Matt Sosa and Devante Wyatt, the music can shift from high-pitched screams to clean melodic choruses to rap verses to brutal death metal growls all within moments of each other.

When the band wants to showcase just how massive and lumberously heavy they can get, they drop a song like ‘No…I’m Dirty Dan!’, which most definitely would kill a Victorian child (or adult, for that matter) if they ever heard it. The occasional hip-hop or trap beat comes in to carry a song or two. Distinct and audibly interesting instruments like a Japanese koto receive prominent play on tracks like ‘White Light’.

Soaring synth arrangements are layered on top of crunchy and distorted guitars, glitch effects, orchestral pieces, and bits of electronic flair are sprinkled throughout crushing breakdowns and speedy double bass. Fitting along the lines of bands like Of Mice & Men, Woe, Is Me, I See Stars, The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria and others, the six-piece fusion of metalcore, electronicore and deathcore have already proven themselves to have a unique ear for uninhibited and rewardful experimentation in their music. But listening through any of their bodies of work, it’s obvious that the group’s musical aspirations are aimed a good bit higher than simply setting off the mosh pit.įormed in 2016 roughly an hour outside of New York City, Across the White Water Tower was brought up on the wilder, weirder and unapologetically heavier side of the Warped Tour era of music as well as essential heavy foundations like thrash metal. With an eclectic mix of vicious riffs and breakdowns, scorching hot screams and blistering electronics, the Rockland County band has very little trouble getting bodies moving and heads banging at their shows. Meet Across the White Water Tower, the latest trailblazers in the new generation of metalcore acts to burst onto the scene in the past couple of years.
