Release Notes:
Formerly named "Gospel Zombie", The Pit That Became A Tower began as a bedroom
lo-fi 4-track outlet for the songs of Adam Lee Rosenfed, circa 2000.
Born in Israel and raised in Cincinnati, OH, Adam was raised on junk food, video
games, comic books, skateboards, and the songs of bands like Dinosaur Jr., The
Cure, and The Dead Milkmen.
Throughout life, Adam has been challenged by the concept of mediocrity - and
early on in life he considered it to be a nemesis. If it was writing songs or
practicing kickflips - there was a method and a meaning - he wanted to change
the world.
Upon returning to Israel in 1991, the desire to see cultural change only grew
stronger within him, leading him to his first band, Mutant John, in 1999.
Since then and until now, Adam has played in a number of bands (Man Alive, My
Name Is Nobody, and more), and started the label/distribution Men Of Israel in
Jerusalem.
In 2001, he also married his bandmate Bethany, and they live and create music in
Jerusalem, along with their two children.
Over the years, Man Alive drummer and sound engineer Joel Hilsden joined TPTBAT
and helped forge their sound of powerful rock anthems with multiple harmonies.
Today, Bethany's sister Esther has joined on keyboard and vocals - furthering
the development of vocal harmonies in the band, and Danny McCoy has been adding
textures on lead guitar.
In 2001, the first Gospel Zombie appearance came in the form of a spot on the
second Velvet Blue Music unisgned bands compilation. In 2003, Gospel Zombie
released a split EP with New Jersey neo-folk artist Jai Agnish. In 2004, the
name was changed to The Pit That Became A Tower, and there were three more
compilation appearances, including a spot on an Israeli major label release, and
the coveted first track on Deep Elm's acclaimed "This Is Indie Rock" compilation
(the song, "I Must Save the President", was licensed to MTV). In the summer of
2005 (July 7th for Israel, Aug. 7th internationally), the debut album by The Pit
That Became A Tower, "Behold! The Unseen", will be released on Men Of Israel
Records.
