Headline slot at Sunk Fest announced

2012-01-12T16:05:00.001Z

We're very happy to have recently accepted an invitation to headline Sunk Fest. This takes place on August 18th in the Hull area. Awesome \m/

Current plans....

2012-01-10T18:04:00.000Z

Currently planning & working on a DVD during the first half of 2012. We have so much footage especially from the tour with Iced Earth last year, seems crazy not to share it. Expect live footage from shows, backstage, soundchecks, on the road tour diary & scrapbook shots. Also continuing to write material for a 4th album for release later this year, whilst there's no let-up on the touring front. Laying plans right now for more shows in UK & Europe in April & May so watch this space!

\m/

Happy New Year!

2011-12-31T11:06:00.002Z

We're just getting ready for our gig tonight - the final date of our European Tour 2011 & it looks like we'll be seeing a great many of you at the venue tonight as there's just a small handful of tickets remaining.

We'll see many of you there, but for those not able to make it along we wish you here & now a very Happy & Successful 2012 & we look forward to hooking up again next year.

We'll see you out there! Thanks as always \m/ \m/

Fury UK jam with Iced Earth....

2011-12-14T17:58:00.002Z

We were honoured to jam with Iced Earth in Ludwigsburg, Germany, for our last show together on 11th December, marking the end of Iced Earth's European leg of their World Tour. The song choice was Jon Schaffer's - the awesome "War Machine" by KISS.

The tour is complete except for our homecoming/New Years Eve show at The Towler, Bury which we're really looking forward to. We have lots to tell & thank you's to be said when we get our act together(!), currently just collecting our thoughts after a truly amazing 6 weeks on the road.

For now we thank our metal brothers from Iced Earth - Jon, Stu, Freddie, Troy & Brent, plus all their crew & management, all of whom could not have treated us any better. You are all awesome. Thanks also to the amazing friendship & support from fans at each show. More video, photos, reviews, stories soon.

Thanks as always \m/

Update from Europe

2011-11-28T18:35:00.002Z

Hi everyone, we're putting updates whenever we can on our official Facebook but very seldom getting a chance on here. Please look us up on Facebook for some photos from the European Tour shows & plenty of cool comments from new friends. We've visited the most amazing countries & venues, & have been made to feel so welcome. Thank you all.

We're in Helsinki, Finland now, with a couple of days off before we play Nosturi on 1st December. Before that we're going to see Clutch at the same venue the night before which will be very cool. Right now waiting for Pizzaaaaaaa, whilst enjoying a few beers.

After Helsinki we head down to Copenhagen, Denmark before returning to Germany to pick up the thread there, also going to Switzerland for a headline show as well as a continuation of the shows with Iced Earth at Z7, Pratteln where we've always had an amazing time. Not forgetting our headline show in Belgium on 12th December, before returning to UK to finish our tour & of course the year as a whole with a special extended headline set on home territory - The Towler, Bury on New Years Eve. Remember this exclusive event is ticket-only.

We're honoured to be main support band on the Iced Earth tour now as White Wizzard had to finish early. We wish them all the very best & although sad for them, quietly we are grateful for the opportunity to step up as main support. The Iced Earth guys also have been fantastic with us & a definite highpoint for Luke was jamming with the band on "Burning Times" during Iced Earth's soundcheck in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Thanks again, hopefully we'll get chance for more updates soon but please don't forget to keep liking/following on our official Facebook & Twitter accounts.

See you out there \m/

33 European Tour dates with Iced Earth

2011-09-14T20:11:00.003+01:00

We're very excited to finally announce our European tour dates & we hope it's worth the wait.... we've been chosen as guests on 33 dates of the European leg of Iced Earth's World Tour.

The tour begins in Germany on 30th October & continues through to 11th December, with a final date back in Germany. The full band line-up is Iced Earth / White Wizzard / Fury UK.

The tour also includes a very welcome return to 3 UK venues.... London O2 Islington Academy, Bristol O2 Academy & Birmingham O2 Academy, on November 4th, 5th & 6th respectively.

This is a brilliant chance for us to get much further into Europe than we ever have before. Although we'll be going back to Belgium, Switzerland, Greece, Holland & France where we've had fantastic times in the past, we're visiting many countries for the first time this time around.

It's also a real honour to be joining Iced Earth on tour - they're big influences on us in so many ways.

Iced Earth will play 36 dates in-all on this European leg of their World Tour. These shows will be the United States metal band's first with new vocalist Stu Block who takes over from Matt Barlow who retires, having closed his tenure with the band with a fitting finale of summer festival appearances. Iced Earth release new album "Dystopia" on Century Media on October 17th in Europe & on October 28th in the U.S.

Ripping it up in the middle slot on this tour is White Wizzard, also from the U.S.

For more information on each of these bands, please visit the websites....

.... the promoters for the planned Preston gig on 28th June has run in to some difficulties, unrelated to our show, that have meant that they can't go ahead. Sorry to those people planning to come along. As a result, next up for us is SOS Festival on 16th July & we can't wait! www.sosfestival.net

Luke's pendant

2011-06-14T12:17:00.007+01:00

A lot of people on tour asked me about my pendant. This was given to me by Alex Palmer of Seventh Circle Artworks who make this kind of stuff - awesomely! Check them out at the website http://www.seventhcircleartworks.com/

End of tour / looking forward....

2011-06-13T16:40:00.004+01:00

Strange times at Fury UK headquarters as our tour is finished. We're so used to being on the road & it's always weird when we stop! We've covered some amazing trips since the beginning of the tour, playing 35 dates including 12 with Saxon who were awesome to be around & encouraged us totally. We've been up & down the UK while also visiting Belgium (3 times for 5 shows), Holland & France. The highs far outweigh the lows & we've met some awesome people & the support has been brilliant. Thank you to every single one of you that came to the shows & helped make them special.

Since the end of the tour Chris has found himself in the crowd at Download checking some awesome tuneage, Luke's been chilling & sinking one or two cold ones but also working a bit more on some new songs, whilst Martin has been working on his gear - more exciting news on that soon!

We now look forward to playing Preston, Frog & Bucket, for Metal Army Promotions on June 28th, which will make sure we're very ready also for SOS Festival on 16th July. Will be tweaking the setlist a fair bit for these shows - time again for a change! Details of these 2 dates & how to get tickets are all at the website as usual www.furyuk.com

Keep watching for more info on gigs for the last 4 months of the year, where as well as headlining the Rock n Wrestle Festival in Wakefield on September 10th, we also expect to confirm European dates, plus if we get chance a further small amount of UK dates too.

We've been working on new material & in fact there's the broad outline of 10+ songs already but there's plenty of work to do yet & only after we've finished the year with gigs will we be able to think about sitting down to complete the songwriting properly & enter the studio in 2012 to record a new album. Based on your brilliant feedback on "A Way Of Life" we certainly have our work cut out if we're going to top that! Along with the new album we promise also to come up with a proper music video for the first time - something a lot of you have asked for & we haven't yet got round to doing. We will, this time!

Thanks again. See you out there again very soon! It's what we do! \m/ \m/

Last leg of the UK/Euro Tour

2011-06-01T09:34:00.006+01:00

Huge thanks to all our fans at the shows in May.... France, Belgium, Leicester, Nottingham, Ebbw Vale, Bradford, Durham, Carlisle. You rock!

This weekend the tour continues in London, Holland & Belgium. www.furyuk.com

After that we have the added date in Preston, with special guests the mighty Wolfcrusher.... Event details & tickets available HERE

Then, the big one for the summer with SOS Festival www.sosfestival.net on 16th & 17th July. We headline the Saturday, & Scottish legends GUN (with a string of chart hits to their name) headline the Sunday.

After that, we headline the Saturday, part of the amazing looking 3-dayer in September, at Rock n Wrestle Festival in Wakefield. www.rocknwrestle.co.uk

For further UK dates we can't be sure yet. We're currently working on a European Tour for the last quarter of the year but if all maps out as we hope, we may be able to play a small number of UK shows in September. Keep an eye on the website & Facebook where all news generally comes first!

Finally, a fantastic crowd shot from Carlisle last weekend. Love it! \m/ \m/

Thank you France & Belgium

2011-05-09T14:03:00.003+01:00

Massive thanks to the excellent people at Blue Devils Bar, Arras (France) & Cafe Metro, Waarschoot (Belgium) for our gigs this weekend. We had an awesome time, meeting new people in Arras & at Waarschoot we also met up with many familiar Belgian faces from Wizzfest plus some new ones. Special thanks to Wizz & Caroline for looking after us & of course to the band Wizzard for playing these gigs with us. Also a special mention goes to Lee Birch who made an 850 mile round trip from Cumbria (UK) to see us in Arras, also Jolanda & Silvana who travelled from Holland to Waarschoot.

More pics to come but here's a quick preview from the photoshoot we did with Silvana.

We can't wait to return to Belgium on 4th June at Blue Angels Bar, Roeselaere, which is one day after we play The Rambler, Eindhoven, Holland on the 3rd. We hope to be able to announce a further date, again in Belgium, on 5th June which will complete our UK/Euro Tour February-June 2011.

Prior to returning to Europe as above, we have a London date on 2nd June, after our gigs in Leicester, Nottingham, Ebbw Vale, Bradford, Durham & Carlisle. Good times! :)

Thanks again.

See you out there.

Recent press reviews....

2011-05-04T10:03:00.003+01:00

Metal Detector / Rockureview.com. "A Way Of Life" album review.. "It’s not an often occurrence that I get bombarded with emails & messages from fans telling me that I’m overlooking something great.. a very, very new appeal & could only be described as a “NEW WAVE” of NWOBHM.. a huge feeling that FURY UK are well (& truly) on their way up to some extremely big things & great times. 10/10" Read more....

Guru. Live review: Saxon / Wolfsbane / Fury UK at Leeds O2 Academy "Luke, is all over the stage throughout the set, windmilling his hair to the hard rock they purvey, whilst drummer Martin McNee is akin to Animal of the Muppets. Although, Martin is the more accomplished skin-basher.. Chris, whose guitar skills are, (in my opinion), up there with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen. I expect greater things to come for this band; they certainly deserve it". Read more....

Many thanks to both reviewers.. Metal Detector & James McPhillips.

Manchester & Dudley : we salute you!

2010-12-20T10:34:00.005Z

Chris @ the 106.1 Rock Radio Party (thanks to Steve Brinkman for this photo)

Our final 2 shows of the year were the 106.1 Rock Radio Official Xmas Party which we headlined last Thursday in Manchester & the Big Bash on Saturday at Dudley JB's, headlined by Blaze Bayley.

A fantastic turnout of our local support in Manchester made for a great night in Manchester & at Dudley, despite truly horrendous snow & ice, a valiant effort by all resulted in an amazing night which made us proud to be metalheads, made even more impressive bearing in mind the rumours & difficulties at that venue which has long since been threatened with closure. As far as we know JB's continues but even if that was the last Big Bash at that venue, it was a fitting, committed & passionate night of metal & a credit to everyone involved.

Watch out for our review of 2010 coming up soon!

8/10 album review in Classic Rock mag

2010-11-08T12:17:00.003Z

We'd like to thank Dom Lawson for his 8/10 review of our "A Way Of Life" album in the latest issue of Classic Rock magazine....

"Brit metal bruisers bring the bombast.... stylistic sidesteps & fashionable sub-genres may come & go, but the thunderous noise of a balls-out heavy metal band at full pelt remains a thrill undimmed by the passage of time. 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"

To read the full review go buy a copy of the December 2010 issue (no.152) of Classic Rock mag at any decent newsagents.

Thank you & a fan review!

2010-10-26T12:13:00.008+01:00

The past 4 gigs were again a blast.. Leeds, Newcastle, Carlisle & Grimsby. Thank you so much to those of you at each of these shows, we had a brilliant time & you seemed to as well! Thanks also to our special guests on these 4 shows.. Babylon Fire. You guys rocked & as always it was a real pleasure to be following you onto the stage, knowing that the audience was already in the mood! \m/ A word also for our good friend Mick Ball who at the post-gig party in Grimsby on Sunday managed to break his foot & toe, despite manfully lasting until today to actually go to hospital to get the injuries looked at! A word also for our excellent crew.. drum tech Sager & guitar tech Crazy Mike. You both did a cracking job, were great fun on the tour dates & we will miss you in Derby on Friday at the Old Bell. Thankfully you'll return to look after us at the Helloween Ball on Saturday. Phewwwwww!

We found these fan comments on the Ents24 website regarding the recent Southampton & London shows & were touched by what was written there. Huge thanks to "Mikey from Erith" - sorry but we're not sure if we got to meet you at these gigs Mikey but either way we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your words....

Event Date: October 14, 2010
Event Venue: The Brook, Southampton

Wow! What an amazing band! This was the first time Id ever seen this 3 piece live, as support to Y&T.
The sound they have is incredible and they play brilliantly up on that stage. Not a note out of tune and full-on raw n' heavy. The singer has a great voice and is visually stunning to watch. His guitar playing is amazing, I looked round to witness everyone in the venue (including the staff) watch his awesome solo's. But that's not all. They have the most catchiest songs to back it up! After this gig I had 'I See Red' and 'Nemesis' stuck in my mind. I thoroughly enjoyed their set and was buzzing to know I have seen this band before they get huge, which on this performance is a certainty.

Event Date: October 16, 2010
Event Venue: 02 Islington, London

Having seen this excellent band once before it was great to see what response they would get from a group of friends that came with me. They agreed, like me, that we'd witnessed a band play who are sure to get massive.
The crowd took to them because they have it all. Great sound, great stage presence, brilliant songs, stunning guitar solo's. The bassist is active too and like the singer, great to watch. The drummer is a real character too, walking on stage hands aloft shouting out loud, stirring up the crowd as he enters the stage first.He pulls it off wonderfully too!!!! The headline act Y&T even said that in 2 years they will be probably supporting them!!! The set they played was brilliant. Starting with the catchy 'I See Red' and ending with 'Death By Lightning'. The crowd gave them a well deserved applause and totally loved this band.

Another live review....

2010-10-20T23:03:00.002+01:00

Get Ready To Rock were at the Islington O2 Academy show with Y&T & have written some kind words about us....

"full on, quality traditional British metal.. highly gifted guitarist, ably supported by a rock solid rhythm section.. reminiscent of early Maiden in places.. illustrates why this band have a bright future ahead of them".

Thanks to Jim Rowland & Noel Buckley for words & pictures \m/

Y&T.... there are no words!

2010-10-19T21:52:00.005+01:00

Yes, there are no words that properly sum up our tour dates with Y&T but we'll do our best! Massive thanks to the Y&T band first of all.... frontman/lead vocalist/lead guitarist Dave, guitarist/backing vocalist John, drummer/backing vocalist Mike & bassist/backing vocalist Brad (respect & best wishes also to regular bassist Phil who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer, our hearts are also with you Phil & hope that one day our paths will cross). Big thanks also to Y&T's manager Jill & crew members Rolf, Jon & Steve. It was actually Steve that recommended us to Y&T (having seen us at Bristol Academy on the Michael Schenker tour) & we're forever in his debt for that. You are all very very cool people & we salute you!

Massive thanks also to our fans old & new. The support from our existing fans was brilliant, & the new fans & friends gained on this tour has been fantastic too.

The press coverage on this tour has been cool also.... see the recent live reviews so far.... for example by Komodo Rock, Bacon Music, Rockgig Reviews, Mayfair Mallzine. There's a lot of photographs out there from the tour too & we've not yet had chance to catch up with those. Big thanks nevertheless to all photographers, those we have managed to see so far have been ace.

The party at the end of the London show was immense, crazy, emotional & very very drunken. Chris had managed to get himself invited on stage with Y&T towards the end of their set-closer "Forever" & that set the tone for an emotionally-charged ending to this experienec we'll never forget. After that it was back to Y&T's hotel for the madness induced by our good friends Jagermeister, JD & assorted brands of rum! Good times!

Next up is our headline shows across the country, taking in Leeds, Newcastle, Carlisle, Grimsby, Derby, Manchester (Radcliffe), Swindon, Milton Keynes, Brighton, Bathgate, Aberdeen, Glasgow & Birmingham. Full listing at www.furyuk.com

Can't wait to see you out there again \m/

2010-10-19T21:40:00.002+01:00

A live review this time by Komodo Rock, this time from the London, Islington O2 Academy show last Saturday with Y&T.. "the place is packed, heads are banging and Fury UK have inevitably gained more fans. The proggy centrepiece followed by an outstanding
lengthy guitar solo in the last song adds something extra to an already fine performance" Read more....

Latest album review....

2010-10-18T20:36:00.002+01:00

Thanks to Komodo Rock for a really cool album review of "A Way Of Life". As well as liking the album we just think they've really intelligently commented on the way the band's developed & understand very well what we're about & where we're up to with things in general....

"In an act of old school hard labour Fury UK unleash their 3rd album 'A Way of Life' when a lot of fans have only recently digested 'VR'. This not only succeeds in keeping the momentum rolling but shows how quickly the band have managed to raise their game since their debut a mere four years before".

Review by Pure Rawk.. "ten tracks of quality classically influenced, but undeniably modern, metal.. an album of a band playing to all their various strengths, whilst still adding new ideas, and coming out of it very much on top" (Sexy Dave)

"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....

2010-09-28T10:36:00.005+01:00

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/

Latest album review from Sea Of Tranquility

2010-08-30T10:26:00.005+01:00

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!

2010-08-28T10:07:00.005+01:00

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

2010-08-16T18:08:00.005+01:00

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!
