The history of the
band begins in 1996, with the combo AX´N SEX.Their selfproduced CD "Victim
of Time" received a very positive reception, not only in Germany , but
also in Europe as well as overseas. Numerous international music magazines
waxed lyrically over the album. These were followed by several reviews in Scandinavia, Greece
and even in the USA and Brazil.
After some deliberation
the musicians changed the name of the band to IVORY TOWER. They polished their
styles further, and made some changes in the line-up. Initial discussions
between the band and Limb Music Products and Publishing (LMP) were held in
December 1997. LMP had been quick to recognize the enormus potential of the
band and offered them a contract. In March and April 1999 IVORY TOWER supported
the album on tour through Germany
with "Mob Rules" and "Murder One". In Summer 1999 they
started the recordings for the second album "Beyond the stars",
released in April 2000. During that time there were extensive promotional
activities all over the world but especially in Paris for the French release under the
license label NTS. In 2001 Ivory Tower started extensive promotional activities
in Sao Paulo/Brasil with the license label "Rock Brigade" (a special
"Hello" to "EDGUY" and Crew!!). The band quitted the
contract with LMP in 2002.
After a longer
time-out and some new changes in the line-up Ivory Tower produced the album
“IT” and in 2006 they were back on stage for playing several shows in Germany. Now,
in 2007, Ivory Tower is in touch with record companies and starts initial
discussions about the release of “IT”. Also they´re looking forward to enter
the stage again as soon as possible.
