Update : new album & tour

Just a quick update so everyone knows where we're up to. The album recording which we started on April 2nd, is so far going better than we could have expected. The bass tracks & drum tracks were laid down pretty quickly & the the guitar tracks went really well too. Just a few tweaks on guitars, maybe a day's work, then we'll be on to the vocals. We've had a break from recording this week & return to the studio on Monday for 5 days, the last 1 or 2 of which will probably only be mixing time assuming everything continues alright. In between the work on recording the songs, we've been occupying ourselves playing pool, watching TV & surfing the net, but our skills on the pool table don't really seem to have improved despite many many attempts. Our intake of fast food, however, is definitely on the up!

September remains the planned release for the album which is as yet untitled. We're currently wrestling with several possible album titles but as yet nothing's really grabbed us as the one.

For October a headline UK tour is being booked. Work on that is well on the way & we hope to be able to announce the first 11 or 12 dates in a couple of weeks' time, maybe sooner. The spread across England & Wales currently looks pretty good so we should be in a town/city pretty near all of you.

Meanwhile, don't forget our current upcoming shows. 3 of these are headline shows whereas SOS Festival is headed up by our good friend Blaze Bayley & also features some other excellent bands (Babylon Fire, Nightvision, Moth Circus, Extreme OD, Skull Branded Pirates, Fantasist, plus more to be confirmed) :-

April 23rd : The Saxon Forum's Alternate St.George's Day Bash, The Green Man, Wembley
April 24th : Mosh4Dosh, The Rigger, Newcastle-u-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent
July 10th : SOS Festival, Manchester
August 6th : Infest, The Park, Peterborough

More news soon!

Thanks as always for supporting the band & following what we're up to!

Metal Hammer review : Hammerfest II

Review in Metal Hammer magazine on our performance at Hammerfest II.... "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 cliche and goes for the jugular with lashings of blistering lead work and planet-sized tunes" (May 2010 issue, just out)

Studio Diary

Chris is keeping a studio diary on the Fury UK facebook. Recording of the new album begun on Friday & continues for most of the coming week, with just one break on Thursday. Drum tracks sounding awesome so far, pool table takes a hammering & food an apparent priority! Check out the details & daily updates at :-

Thanks Camden, now for Wembley!

Massive thanks to all who were there at the Purple Turtle, Camden. On a rainy Tuesday night our expectations were far exceeded & we had a brilliant time. Thanks to guest band Hekz who entertained us & helped fantasticly well with the night overall \m/

Next up is Wembley, The Green Man, on Friday April 23rd for the Saxon Forum's "Alternate St.George's Day Bash". All welcome to come along & help us celebrate St.George's Day whilst also raising money for Help For Heroes. Advance tickets available from the Saxon Forum HERE

After that, on Saturday April 24th we're looking forward to getting up to the Mosh4Dosh at The Rigger in Newcastle-U-Lyme, Stoke, helping raise money for Macmillian Trust.

Before that of course we start recording this Friday for the new album (our 3rd official album release) due for September.

Hope to see as many of you as possible at the two April dates. See ya out there!

Thanks Newcastle & Grimsby!

2 awesome gigs this weekend & thank you/horns-up to Newcastle & Grimsby for making us welcome.

At Trillians on Friday it was great to see so many familiar faces from our previous trips to Newcastle with Blaze Bayley & also Michael Schenker. There's a review of the Newcastle gig online already at Riffs Online - thanks to Nig for this. Thanks also to Little Linda (Mayfair Mallzine), Chippy (Radio Teesdale), Simon Colling (NE1FM) & Paul Manuel (Bishop FM). Thanks also to the crazy headbangers who were relentless in their energy & support. Thanks also to the gaffer at Trillians, Steve Jones, & soundman Mark for an awesome job. You are all awesome! Thanks as well to support band Dyinise.

We slept over in the North East on Friday night before waking to Olympic breakfasts & Mixed Grills at the good old Little Chef then as always, it was a pleasure to go to the Yardbirds Club in Grimsby & on Saturday we were made once again very welcome by Robbo & all.... pizza & beer was a fine finish to the night too! Great to see our good friends Mick Ball (where was Rock Pig?) & Ashleigh, Gary & Michelle. Thanks also to support bands Afterdown & Dyinise.

If we've missed anyone out from the thank you's don't be afraid to tell us! We didn't mean to miss you out!

Camden, London (The Purple Turtle) is next up for us on Tuesday before starting recording the new album on Friday. We're given confidence by the brilliant response to the song we've been previewing at live shows this year - I See Red - also featuring in the video from Wizzfest (see previous blog).

Cheers all!
