Latest review....

"A Way Of Life" album review by James Allman at Bacon Music. We're liking the comments here where James seems to have really understood where we're coming from & what matters to us. Thanks James, this means a lot....

"This band are very proud of their metal roots, and show no shame in wearing their metal influences on their sleeves. The excellent ‘Saviour’ absolutely screams MEGADETH, whilst the catchiest track on the album ‘Show of Force’ would fit nicely on a METALLICA album. ‘Nemesis’ and ‘Athena’ show a good ability to mix up tempos, and seemlesly incorporate excellent time changes. The best song on the album is the magnificent 10 minute epic IRON MAIDEN style composition ‘The Remainder’. All what’s good about this band is nicely represented in this track. Good melodies, interesting lyrics, crunching riffs, and lead guitar wizardry to make you eat your heart out".

Thanks Wakefield & UK Tour begins....

First today we look back on the exciting gig last weekend at the Snooty Fox, Wakefield. What a brilliant turnout, energy & vibe from start to finish. Thanks to everyone at the show & especially those who'd travelled significant distances e.g. Andrew & Tracey Gloster from Coventry area & The Touts from the South West.... 3 & a half hours drive?.... \m/ We also heard there were up to 2,000 people online watching the live video stream. We're lucky enough to have our entire set captured on video which looks & sounds great. That will be hitting the Rocksector Records video channel at Youtube pretty soon & we'll let you know when it's up. This gig was a great buzz for us also as one of the few times so far we've been able to play live several songs from the new album & the setlist was.... I See Red, Fall From Grace, Saviour, Nemesis, Call To Arms, Death By Lightning.

Next it's down to the business of our UK Tour. That begins this Saturday with 8 dates as special guests of America's Y&T, followed by a further 14 shows, almost all of which are headline shows where our setlist in general is expected to be minimum 1 hour. It's a real honour for us to be playing with Y&T as long-standing heroes of ours & who've been making an updated impact with their latest album Facemelter which is just brilliant. Our tour overall takes in these towns/cities.... Manchester, Bradford, Glasgow, Newcastle, Nottingham, Southampton, Birmingham, London, Leeds, Newcastle, Carlisle, Grimsby, Derby, Manchester, Stoke, Swindon, Milton Keynes, Brighton, Bathgate, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Birmingham. We're ready!

We go to Switzerland in December, Belgium in March & are still working on a European Tour. The exact timing of that isn't yet known. It's a possibility for December but if not then, it should be March. More news on this as soon as possible.

If you don't yet have the new album you can get all the links on the sidebar of this blog.... HMV, Amazon, Play, iTunes. Also don't forget the new T-shirts & hoodies are on the merch page at the website www.furyuk.com

Thanks again. See you out there! \m/
