Following their 2018 debut album »Black Abyss« and the recent live EP »High And Alive«, high-octane San Francisco American metal purveyors The Watchers are now ready to unleash their sophomore album »Nyctophilia« upon the world. Brilliantly capturing the foursome’s towering musicianship and anthemic songwriting, this new album melds the raucous spirit of classic heavy metal with sizzling guitars, loud grooves and Tim Narducci’s searing vocals. Aptly described as “a band who incorporate the best bits of High On Fire and Rainbow” by UK website Echoes & Dust, the Californian rifflords are back sounding louder and sharper than ever, ready to annihilate everything in their roaring path! »Nyctophilia« was produced and engineered by Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth).

Formed in 2016 in the Bay Area, The Watchers is a conglomerate of members from Spiral Arms, White Witch Canyon, Black Gates, Systematic, and Vicious Rumors. The band signed to California powerhouse Ripple Music in the early days and released their long-sold out debut EP »Sabbath Highway« the same year, which led to an invitation to play US major heavy event Maryland Doom Fest.

During the recording of their debut full-length »Black Abyss«, The Watchers met legendary producer and engineer Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Death Angel, Y&T), who agreed to work on the album and make it a turning point record in the band’s fast-rising career. The band consecutively embarked on a full US tour, then performed at Desertfest London, SXSW and Maryland Doom Fest in 2018, leading them to become a staple band among the heavy rock and metal underground. To cope with the absence of shows caused by the global pandemic, The Watchers released their »High And Alive« EP in 2020 via Ripple Music. They are now ready to set the metal and rock’n’roll world ablaze again with their sophomore album »Nyctophilia«, coming in the spring of 2024 via Ripple Music.
