History
Tower of Doom started in the summer of 2002 as a small home-based digital studio in a college apartment, where Eric Perlas helped friends and fellow musicians record their original songs.[1] In 2005, the label moved to a proper recording facility in Teachers Village, Quezon City, and over time grew into a multi-studio setup. Tower of Doom runs two large studios in New Manila, Quezon City, providing a full range of services, including audio recording, mixing, mastering, as well as video production for music videos, lyric videos, and live-streamed shows known as Tower Sessions.[4]
In 2022, Tower of Doom signed a distribution deal with Ingrooves Music Group, allowing the label to share its music with listeners around the world. The first release under this deal was the December Avenue's single "Saksi Ang Langit". Eric and Carlo, said the collaboration would help the label grow both in the Philippines and internationally. Ingrooves, a global leader in music distribution and marketing, provides independent labels with the tools to expand their reach.[5]
Tower of Doom is well known for supporting local rock artists such as Greyhoundz, Valley of Chrome, Gabby Alipe (from Urbandub), and Tanya Markova, and for producing its popular live performance series, Tower Sessions. Guji Lorenzana, Ingrooves' Country Manager for the Philippines, described the record label as "one of the most exciting independent record labels in the country", noting that December Avenue's single was a strong way to launch their partnership.[5]
