Energetic Disassembly was the debut album by Progressive Metal band Watchtower. It contains a re-recording of the song 'Meltdown', first recorded in 1983 for the Cottage Cheese from the Lips of Death compilation. An earlier version of Energetic Disassembly, recorded at B. O. S. S. (short for Bob O'Neill Sound Studios) for Rainforest Records (home to S. A. Slayer), was scrapped when the label closed its doors. These 'lost' recordings have since been released as part of the 2002 Demonstrations in Chaos archives release.

While Rush is likely the greatest prog rock band ever, Dream Theater somehow managed to capture that honor within the metal realm. However, metal purists will point out that Watchtower came before Dream Theater. Heralding from Austin, TX, this four-piece certainly captured a lot of attention back in 1985 when this album was originally released – the underground metal scene really praised these guys as innovators. Regardless, they were definitely playing a style of metal unique to themselves, a style with jazz/fusion elements, Rush elements and then traditional metal shred as well. Lyrically, it is fascinating to go back and read this stuff as not many metal bands in the mid to late 80’s had a political opinion or even a social awareness. While vocalist Jason McMaster was eventually replaced by Alan Tecchio, his high pitched, screaming vocal style – at times sounding like Geddy Lee, Bruce Dickenson and Rob Halford – was quite polarizing, yet it nevertheless left an indelible mark on the metal community. Doug Keyser and drummer Rick Colaluca formed the core of the band – their complex rhythms and syncopation played a huge part in defining the Watchtower sound. Rockadrome reissued this in 2008, but the original raw production has been preserved, giving this classic an almost live feel. This is vintage metal, and even those that don’t enjoy McMaster’s abrasive vocals (considered melodic by today’s standards) will find something to love about this band. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the best aspects of progressive rock and heavy metal pushed to the extreme *by D***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2014* I absolutely love this album. Watchtower is like Rush on acid. They have taken all of the best aspects of progressive rock and heavy metal and pushed them to the extreme--insane, high vocals; awesome riffs; incredible musicianship; complex and challenging lyrical content; superb shredding; and all the crazy time changes. Any fan of progressive rock, 80's metal, and/or thrash will immediately connect with their style. If there is one component missing, one might say it's melody. "Sounds rather glaring!" you say. However, the album is so good in every other respect that it really almost doesnt matter. IT'S THAT GOOD. The production is a little weird and very low-budget sounding, but that factor actually gives the album a certain charm--or rather a rawness and power that fit perfectly with the music. I also love their second and (so far) last album, Control and Resistance. It's certainly more polished, no doubt in part to the addition of Ron Jarzombek and Alan Tecchio. But Energetic Disassembly has an almost magical quality about it. Aggressive and absorbing, it keeps your attention all the way through to the end.Despite their limited catalogue, Watchtower may simply be the coolest band of all time. Perhaps their limited output has helped them in this regard. Other bands may have been more successful and more prolific, but there are no weak efforts that dampen what they have released--just two superb, nearly flawless albums and progressive metal at its very finest. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute must! *by D***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 21, 2013* I was not even 17 when I heard them and this album from a heavy metal fanzine, so I decided to contact them and get a copy of the vinyl LP version. I was totally amazed: the rhythm and timing of each song was fast as those of many Thrash Metal bands while being absolutely not repetitive, resembling the complex music texture of Jazz. Despite the fact that the production is not extremely good, the album shows completely the band musical potential: a profusion of bass, drums and guitar solos and riffs, a intriguing songwriting and non trivial lyrics. The music in this album made some reviewers coining the terms "Techno-metal" and "Jazz-metal", thus this album started this genre of heavy metal. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/13567161-energetic-disassembly](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/13567161-energetic-disassembly) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
