History
In 2005 Ron Jarzombek contacted drummer Chris Adler (drummer)|Chris Adler ( Lamb of God (band)|Lamb of God ) and bassist Alex Webster about a possible collaboration, with the goal of taking Jarzombek's signature left-of-center progressive metal approach into a much heavier, more extreme realm. Although the addition of a vocalist was briefly considered, the trio ultimately decided to remain an all-instrumental band. However, Adler had to bow out due to his demanding schedule with Lamb of God but would collaborate with Jarzombek on the song ‘The Near Dominance of 4 Against 5’ which appeared on Magna Carta Records ’s ‘Drum Nation Vol. 3’ compilation in 2006.cite web|title=WatchTower guitarist teams up with Lamb of God drummer for 'Drum Nation Vol. 3' CD|url= http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx? mode=Article& newsitemID=50468
