Towersound come from France. Three brothers who live in an old tower and make their music there. And record it there, too. Heavy metal with power metal touches is their trade.

For my liking, Towersound stick to heavy metal ethics more than to power metal ones. Usually, there's not much guitar playing melodies, but riffs and more riffs. Drummer sticks to quite basic beats, not delivering that double kick drum thing all the way through. Vocals are on rougher side of clean singing. Orchestral synth arrangements are well done, not sounding to synthesized. "Medieval" atmosphere in few occasions is created with pipes and such instruments (don't know if they're synthesized). Music varies from very simple to close to proggish territories. "Medieval" style intro and outro plus some stuff on a few songs, NWOBHM/Manowar style simplicity, a sugary clich
