Ivory Tower - SUBJECTIVE ENEMY

"SUBJECTIVE ENEMY" is an epic-concept album with 17 tracks/spoken parts and 66 minutes music.

The Story:
This story is about a man. One of many. Split in his personality.
Influencing and missing affection within young years supported the building up of anger, hate and maliciousness.
The own indifference and lacking self-responsibility also offered the breeding ground for the evil. Without noticing it his steady behaviour became influenced by arrogance, aggression and egoism.
Friends and acquaintances turn away and in the end his beloved girlfriend leaves him, too. Caught in this cage of evil he slowly becomes aware of his lifetime.
And so he attempts to change himself and make up for the mistakes heīs made. But his enemy is bigger than he thought.
Because the dark side in us cannot be so simply changed... and the dark side has a name..............
.................SUBJECTIVE ENEMY


IVORY TOWER - Beyond the stars (2000)
Power progressive metal, the entire palette of the great art of prog metal, from hard to something apart, from straight to fancy, from orchestral and traditional to experimental! Reaching for the stars? Beyond the sun and the moon, on the other side of the immense universe, past countless stars, to eternity. This is the sensation given by the latest album of the German prog metal band IVORY TOWER. The new album, meaningfully entitled "Beyond the stars" continues in the same vein as that which the band laid out with their self-titled debut album in autumn 1998. Overall, "Beyond the stars" is more direct and stronger, grabbing the listener and refusing to let go. The bandīs music again lives from Fischerīs expressive voice, from the countless dexterous guitar parts, the cleverly placed orchestral passages and the huge variation on arrangements. The echo on the part of the media and fans was tremendous. Every important music magazine, both national and international gave the debut fantastic reviews. According to the German magazines "Heavy oder was?" the band was walking "the path of royalty", Metal Hammer described the band as "new heroes", Rock Hard described the "highly successful entrance" into the prog world.


Ivory Tower - Ivory Tower (1998)

Since summer of 1998 there has been a new, very promising band standing in the wings:
IVORY TOWER from Germany - who are ready to add their own sound to the current boom of progressive power metal.
Their self-titled debut album combines powerful metal songs with symphonic offsetters, catchy hook lines with clever arrangements and polished rhythms. It contains eight brilliant metal songs which cover the entire spectrum from ballads to foot-tapping rockers and from the epic to speedier numbers. The album "IVORY TOWER" (1998) opens with the song "One Life In Asia", a fast power metal number whose text deals with the misery of the third world and the scandalous employment of children. "A Distant Light" is a brilliant midtempo number highlighted by a long, melodic solo. "Spring" is the title of a sensitive ballad , which , thanks to itīs piano part and a great song line is sure to get the sparklers waving on the other hand, "She" is a real 80īs inspired hardrock-hammer with a driving beat. The bands arrangement of the John Mileīs classic "Music" will also raise some eyebrows as IVORY TOWER show just how much expression and thoughtness there is in this song. The most impressive track on the album is surely the fifteen minutes long "Blinded", during which IVORY TOWER demonstrate the entire spectrum of their creative potential . The listener will discover numerous tempo changes, parts played unisono and an unusual wholeness, which forms the crowning touch of this impressive album.
