FURY
- 'Paramount' review
Every
now and again, a hardcore band comes along that just does it right
(I'm thinking HAVE HEART, EXPIRE, xREPENTANCEx, etc.) and FURY are
one of those bands. They basically sound like all of the best 90s
REVELATION RECORDS hardcore bands smushed together; fast, heavy and
angry both musically and vocally, think YOUTH OF TODAY and GORILLA
BISCUITS but with a really solid, up-to-date production. 'Death
Yellows Life and Reason' pretty much sounds like a perfect mix of
BOLD and BATTERY. Yup, it's that good. Lyrics are more personal than
political as far as I can tell, and expect lots of break-neck
drumming, palm-muting, and solid riffs, while 'In Extremis' brings a
slight change of pace, working with heavy repetition. I recommend
checking out 'Damage is Done' or 'The Fury' for something to go on,
but if you like the aforementioned bands, you'll love every second of
this. I also have to give them extra credit for listing SHAKESPEARE
and VONNEGUT in the lyrics credits. Awesome.
