However one small Texan band named Watchtower raised the bar for generations to come to both marvel at and spend their teenage years boarded up in practice rooms to best. Watchtower’s 1989 technical metal opus “Control and Resistance” contained all of the hallmarks of technical and progressive we know now and still stands among the elite of musical shred fests.
