FURY

Welcome to the phenomenon that is Fury UK. Since signing to independent label Rocksector Records in 2007, Fury UK has emerged as one of the most exciting young classic British metal bands, with quality albums & truly inspiring live performances…. Metal Hammer (review of Hammerfest 2010) "it's always good to discover a new favourite band at festivals and Fury UK seem destined to fit that bill for plenty of people. Their stirring old-school metal sidesteps retro cliché and goes for the jugular with lashings of blistering lead work and planet-sized tunes" Based in Manchester, Fury UK are influenced by the likes of Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Iced Earth, Dream Theater, Saxon, Metallica & Rush. The amazing reaction to live gigs is a measure of this band & all the more impressive for being delivered within the dynamics of a 3 piece….

The EP "Salvation" quickly followed in 2008, plus a breakthrough appearance at Bloodstock Festival the same year. Fury UK’s 2nd full album entitled "VR" (July 2009) gained further excellent reviews & full UK tours with Blaze Bayley & Michael Schenker Group. Late in 2009 Fury UK made debut appearances on foreign soil, touring with Blaze Bayley in Greece & at Switzerland’s prestigious venue Z7. By the beginning of 2010 the band was being hailed by Metal Hammer in its’ Hot List for the year & played Hammerfest where the line-up included Iced Earth & Saxon amongst other big names. 2010 saw the band grow in stature & the 3rd album “A Way Of Life” released in September was welcomed with open arms by a surge in the band’s fanbase, & critical acclaim followed…. Classic Rock (album review) "Increasingly lauded as a gloriously fiery live act, Fury UK are students of metal's old school, & yet there is a sizzling, life-affirming freshness in every second of A Way Of Life.... one of the most exciting British metal albums of recent times" Powerplay (album review) "Jaw droppingly good production.. loud, crisp & beautifully balanced.. riffs & hooks galore.. the clean vocals come into their own during the big choruses.. top notch musicianship.. more than a hint of Megadeth" Big Cheese (album review) "Brilliant riffage.. spectacular vocals.. dynamic hooks & infectious material" Soon after the 3rd album release a full UK tour with American hard rockers Y&T was undertaken which cemented 2010 as a landmark in the band’s development. During that year Fury UK also played further dates overseas when they headlined Belgium’s Wizzfest & returned to Switzerland later in the year. 2011 saw the band continue it’s hard work ethic by hitting the road with two relentless 35 date UK/Euro Tour. The first included 12 dates with British metal legends Saxon, a perfect platform for Fury UK to continue it’s excellent progress. That tour has included Euro dates in Belgium, France & Holland & encouraged by the audience reactions, a tour across mainland Europe is now anticipated for the latter part of 2011. The second of the UK/European Tours was as special guests with Iced Earth, plus a few headline shows. Finally a few words from 2 seasoned & respected pro's that the band has toured with.... Dave Meniketti of Y&T in an interview with Midlands Rocks…. "an exciting young bunch.. one of the best responses of any opening act that we’ve had in the UK for a long time.. they get out there & kick ass". Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth "the best support band we've ever had".
