FUELSET

Bio:

..

“When the universe is ready to implode we’ll be there to provide the soundtrack.”

In a world dominated by conformity and duplication, Fuelset have set them
selves apart from the rest. Through hard work, persistence and
uncompromising dedication they have carved a lasting niche in a scene that
sees many bands fade into obscurity. Their unique sound and intense live
shows have seen them entertain crowds in both New Zealand and Australia.

After releasing their debut album Tear it Down early in 2009, the band has
received extensive radio airplay on metal shows throughout New Zealand.
Their videos have also appeared on music TV stations in New Zealand and
across the Tasman. One of the tracks from Tear it Down was picked up for
use on an episode of kiwi television show Outrageous Fortune.

The future is already looking bright with work already commencing on
material for their second album, more videos and a never ending stream of
live shows on the horizon. With the constant desire to grow, improve and
really mix things up, it’s definitely going to be a case of watch this space.

100% New Zealand made…this, is Fuelset.

Auckland Metal band FUELSET’s line-up was solidified in 2005 and since
then they’ve been busy taking their music to the masses performing
shows in both Aussie and New Zealand. 2009 marks the release of this
band’s debut album ‘Tear It Down’ and when it comes to writing and
recording they’ve been right on the money here - quality production
and plenty of musical variation ranging from the tribal rhythms of the
intro track, to thrashy Hardcore, to a classic audio sample taken from
the movie ‘Way Of The Gun’ and even a melodic ballad entitled ‘The
Blood Corporation’.



Two of the songs on this release ‘The Everchanging’ and ‘Breakdown’
were recorded in early 07′ at York St Studios with Andrew Buckton
behind the mixing desk. Both those tracks have some subtle but
effective synths thrown into the mix which nicely enhance the atmosphere.
That’s not to say the rest of the recording is lacking in any way though
because I really dig the mix there as well. The whole recording has a
really full sound from the guitar-work and also from a nicely laid down
bass guitar riffage which packs plenty of low end punch - sounds kinda
like Fieldy from KORN playing!



15 tracks of great Kiwi Metal, this is an impressive debut release from
FUELSET and one that’s given me great desire to see the band
performing live. Head on over to FUELSET’s Website check them
out for yourself!
