Wisconsin-based heavy metal outfit, Lords Of The Trident, have released the fourth single from their upcoming studio album, The Offering. The new track, "These Tower Walls", is out today and is accompanied by a music video.
Talking about "These Tower Walls", vocalist Fang VonWrathenstein comments: ""The video shoot for 'These Tower Walls' had to be rescheduled THREE times due to COVID, and at the time we shot it we were knee-deep in the Omicron wave...so we didn't know if anyone was going to show up. We were absolutely humbled by the fact that a large number of our diehard fans showed up to be part of the video. A good chunk of them traveled quite a long distance as well! I've heard some bands lamenting the fact that some of the music videos they've made during COVID will be full of people wearing face masks, and would be reminders of the hardship they went through during this time. Seeing the facemasks in this video instead reminds me of the amazing lengths that our fans will go to in order to support the band. We're truly grateful!"
The full album (The Offering) is available right now for members of the Lords Of The Trident Patreon who pledge $5 or more. This pledge not only gets you an immediate copy of the new album, but also their three previous albums (Shadows From The Past, Pull The Plug, and Power Outage) as well as 20+ internet-exclusive singles, 25+ full-concert bootlegs, and a mountain of exclusive content for Patreon backers only. The full album will not be released publicly until April, so being a backer is the only way to hear it before it releases. 100% of the money pledged goes directly to the band and helps them play more shows, make more content, and survive the evils of the music industry.

The Offering is the fifth full-length album by Lords Of The Trident (and their 10th release overall). This medieval concept album weaves a tragic story of a young boy sold into servitude, his arduous training to become a "Guardian", and the city that betrays him. Mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated Jacob Hansen (engineer for Avantasia, Unleash the Archers, Volbeat, Amaranthe, and more), this is one of the best-sounding epics you'll hear. Filled with blazing solos, soaring vocals, complex drumming, and multi-layer musical composition, The Offering will take you on a heroic and tragic musical journey that will stay in your mind long after the album has finished.
