Drawing on influences like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Joe Satriani, Black Sabbath, Metallica & Rush, the reaction to live gigs is amazing & all the more impressive for being delivered within the dynamics of a 3 piece. In 2007 Fury UK signed to independent label Rocksector Records (distributed through PlasticHead) & later that year the debut album "Face Of Adversity" was released. At that point it's fair to say the band was still wrestling with its' line-up & changes swiftly followed, resulting in the successful EP "Salvation", released in February 2008, again on Rocksector.
