Latest album review from Sea Of Tranquility

Another album review through today & some great comments from Dean Pedley, writing for Sea Of Tranquility....

"This is modern metal that harkens back to the NWOBHM.. the six minute "Run Away From No One" &.. "The Remainder" are a good indication at what is still to come from this band – slow burning, well crafted epics that ebb and flow between mood & tempo, unveil more with each repeated listen and are both absolute gems"

The press has arrived!

Several reviews & features now through on the band & the new album. This includes full page features in the current issues of both Big Cheese & Powerplay magazines (Sept.2010 issues). Here's some extracts from all the recent coverage received so far, plus one or two earlier quotes. Big thanks go out to all writers/contributors....

"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" (A Way Of Life album review. Chris Van Souwe, Powerplay, issue 124/Sept2010)

"Fusing classic rock with a more contemporary edge" (taken from full page feature/interview. Chris Van Souwe, Powerplay, issue 124/Sept2010)

"They create something new & exciting out of what's gone before them, injecting their own fury into their rousing anthems & going for the throat" (taken from full page feature. Big Cheese, issue 126/Sept2010)

"Brilliant riffage.. spectacular vocals.. dynamic hooks & infectious material" (A Way Of Life album review. Andrew Sheppard, Big Cheese, issue 126/Sept2010)

"continue their own brand of hard hitting, classy & intelligent music. NWOBHM brought into the modern era. Vocally & musically Judas Priest spring to mind, such is the class exuded here. Like all the great bands Fury UK seem to have the ability to show their musical influences, yet meld them into their own unique vision. Another power metal masterclass. Intelligent, powerful, technical, melodic & fearless" (A Way Of Life album review. by Dave Evans, Midlands Rocks. Full review HERE)

"a belter of an album and highlights what Fury UK are all about" (A Way Of Life album review. Rob Dodgson, Room Thirteen. Full review HERE)

"Last year, in the Mayfair Mallzine end of year writers poll, I named Fury UK's 'VR' album as my album of the year. Now, just over a year since the release of that album, the band thrust the follow up 'A Way of Life' upon us. Can they possibly reclaim the top album crown again? Well, on the evidence of the material here, the answer is a resounding YES!.. The Dream Theater-esque 'Nemesis' is quite possibly the best track on the album, with a great uplifting chorus" (A Way Of Life album review. Dan Armstrong, Mayfair Mallzine. Full review HERE)

"An absolute winner from start to finish.. with killer riffs, powerful vocals and thunderous drum rolls" (A Way Of Life album review. Jenny Tate, Rhubarb Radio. Full review HERE)

Thank you Bloodstock / additional tour date

Just a quick message to say a huge thank you to those of you supporting us at Bloodstock Open Air Festival last weekend. We loved showcasing the songs from the new album & had an awesome weekend all round. This was our setlist....

I See Red
Alien Skies
Athena
Nemesis
Children Of The Sea (Black Sabbath cover by way of dedication to the late great Ronnie James Dio)

The guys from Big Cheese magazine, Phoenix Radio & Jagermeister took some video footage & a direct line from the mixing desk, so provided everything on that has worked as it should, we hope to be able to post some clips soon. Phoenix will also be broadcasting a special show dedicated to the band & hopefully including parts of this set in their show. More news on that as soon as possible.

See you on tour soon.... by the way, Wakefield show added.. 26th September at the Snooty Fox as special guests of Blaze Bayley. We've both had brilliant nights at the Snooty on separate occasions so together we're expecting something special!

See you out there!

Special thanks to Jim Sharples from Big Cheese, Geno D from Phoenix Radio, Manny who was the sound engineer for Jager & Tom from Jager.
