fury_uk_coverAnd on the thirteenth day, the lord bequeathed us Metal. And we gave thanks to the Lord, for the Metal gods did slay the beasts of pop, dance and jazz with one mighty seven minute guitar solo. So reads the Bible according to the cleverly monikered Fury UK or FUK to their followers.This is classic metal circa 1986 . The prophets; Maiden, Metallica and Megadeth are humbly worshipped by the servants of FUK. And the commandments of metal are rightfully observed.
  1. Thou shalt sing about, death, sadness, pain and misery. Check!
  2. Thou shalt wear your hair in the style of the lord. Check!
  3. Thou shalt worship in black clothing only. Check!
  4. Thou shalt sing at least one, lighter in the air ballad. Check!
  5. Thou shalt describe your instruments in intimate detail. Check!
  6. Thou shalt invoke devoted followers to your gospel. FUK yeah!
  7. Thou shalt play every toilet in the county before claiming to be a monster of rock. We’ll see”¦”¦”¦..
I can’t muster another three”¦.but if metal is your bag then these guys are really worth checking out. VR marks their second album and it is a massively impressive noise for a three piece. Everything is tight and crisp and played fast and hard. At times the vocal delivery is lacking which is perhaps where the addition of a second guitar might help to relieve the pressure on frontman, Chris Appleton. Things are going in the right directions for these FUK’ers they have the number of the beast tattooed on their souls and they're coming for your daughters. 75%Fury UK on Myspace
