SACRED OUTCRY's sophomore album "Towers of Gold" to be released on CD and vinyl on May 19th, 2023. Lyric video for "The Voyage" is online.
SACRED OUTCRY’ second chapter "Towers of Gold" is the perfect realization of the band's trademark dark, epic power metal. Written and arranged by the band’s mastermind George Apalodimas, "Towers of Gold" is the first album featuring the band’s brand-new line-up of axeman Steve Lado, drummer Defkalion Dimos and the legendary Daniel Heiman (ex-LOST HORIZON) behind the mic.
The long-awaited successor to their highly acclaimed debut "Damned for All Time" was fine-tuned to perfection by the band and was masterfully mixed & mastered by Steve Lado in SL Studio, Greece. "Towers of Gold" is a full concept album directly tied to the golden age of late '90s and early '00s power metal, fused with the legendary '80s US metal scene, where WARLORD meets BLIND GUARDIAN and MANOWAR joins LOST HORIZON on a mystical journey through ten chapters of dark epic metal. The cinematographic story of "Towers of Gold" is fully connected with the gripping variety of the music, which is full of emotion and power. Hidden messages can be found all over the album, from the breathtaking cover art, the concept and the lyrics, to the multi-layered music that will keep growing with every listening.
