Fury UK play the following date…

10th Oct Purple Turtle, Camden

Fury UK was formed in 2003 in Manchester, Since that date they’ve developed an ever-increasing reputation for captivating live performances….inspired by the guitar wizardry of Chris Appleton & a selection of hard rock compositions with the fantastic ingredients of hooks, time changes, key changes, big solos & meaningful lyrics. A band with riffs, attitude & a bedrock rhythm section to die for.

Influences are best-summarised as Iron Maiden – meets – Rush with a hint of modern metal. There’s diversity amongst the songs but overall Fury UK is a blend of classic rock & metal, with a progressive & melodic twist.

The band released a debut album in November 2005. “My Tomorrow” has been well-received by critics & fans alike & was undoubtedly the album the band’s fans had been waiting for. Live performances came thick & fast during 2006 including various headline shows such as Bolton Metal & Oxjam festivals. With increasing touring, press & radio coverage worldwide, & a follow-up album released in 2007, fury uk continues to explode into the international rock awareness. Recent dates with metal legends Diamond Head & at Manchester Festival have confirmed the band as one of the hottest prospects around.

‘…an Anselmo-alike gruff vocal attack is almost only ornamental placed either side of the amazing guitar work.’

Metal Hammer

‘…top notch rock metal with some fine melodic moments and some outstanding guitar work by Appleton, a definite star of the future..

Mayfair Mallzine

‘It really is amazing how much big rocking noise these three young lads kick out, and this album has also shown a more subtle side that I didn’t really expect. More please.’
