Frontiers Records signs British uprising Metal stars Furyon
Thursday, 19 January 2012
Frontiers Records signs British uprising Metal stars Furyon for the
Worldwide release of their debut album “Gravitas”!
Frontiers Records is excited to announce the Worldwide release of Furyon ’s
debut album “Gravitas” on March 23rd in Europe and March 27th in North America.
Furyon is a new band from the UK who like nothing more than to
challenge expectations. Raised on a diet of heavy metal, prog, and classic rock,
Furyon mix all these components for a truly unique and contemporary sound.
Delivering huge rock radio friendly songs, with technically challenging, yet
infectiously catchy musicianship. Dedicated to one sole purpose, making hard
hitting songs that will stand the test of time. “”Our music is good songs with
touches of intelligence” says singer Matt Mitchell, “There are a many different
moods that come out from this album and all the songs have meaning and
substance. Heavy and Melodic! That is what Furyon and this album
‘Gravitas‘ is about”.
What separates Furyon from the crowd is the sheer quality of their
musicianship. Boasting two truly world class guitarists in the form of Chris
Green and Pat “The Shred” Heath, Furyon have few peers when it comes to
the quality of their iconic riffs, and jaw dropping solos. Backing them up is
one of the tightest rhythm sections the rock world has to offer with the awesome
combination of Lee Farmery, and Alex (Nickel) Bowen. Leading from the front is
the outstanding vocal versatility of Matt Mitchell, whose emotion drenched voice
effortlessly moves between melodic and crunchingly heavy. “We really have been
inspired by many bands over the time (as all musicians and writers are)”
continues Matt, “but for this album inspirations from bands like Soundgarden,
Alice in Chains, Tool, Mastodon, Alter Bridge and Iron Maiden spring to mind”.
In 2009, after a sell out tour, and accompanying EP, Furyon set about
the serious business of writing their debut album. The early demo’s reached the
ears of US producer Rick Beato (Shinedown, Fozzy), and a powerful and symbiotic
relationship was formed. “Our hook up with Rick Beato was through Kip Winger”
recalls Matt. “We toured with Winger on their Karma tour and we had spoken with
Kip about the band Shinedown and how we liked there productions. Kip hooked us
up with Rick and to our delight he was interested in doing the album. Rick is a
truly great Producer and writer”.
Released independently on a low profile and later cover mounted on Metal
Hammer UK, “Gravitas” received already rave responses from the press, including:
“I’ve seen hundreds of unsigned & unknown band in my career. Only a handful
of them made me stand up and take any notice. Only one of them made me do that
from the very first listen and that one band was Furyon .”
Chris Ingham (Group Publisher Classic Rock, Metal Hammer)
“Brighton’s FURYON are the latest and arguably greatest metal band of the
modern era”
Dom Lawson (Metal Hammer UK)
“Do you like massive hooks? Do you like world-class guitar playing? Do you
like music you can bang your head to, stamp your foot to, drive to and f*** to?
Yes?then, even if you’ve not yet heard them, Furyon are already one of
your favorite bands.”
Alex Baker (Kerrang! Radio)
“Furyon almost crashed the airwaves when they came on my radio show, I’ve
never had so many listeners tune in. They deserve to be stars. They deserve to
play stadiums.”
Louise Brown (Presenter Totalrock Radio/Editor Terrorizer Magazine)
“It has real underlying guitar driven fury”
Classic Rock Magazine UK
Gravitas” will be released on Frontiers Records with the following track
listing:
Disappear Again; Stand Like Stone; Souvenirs; Don’t Follow; New Way of Living;
Voodoo Me; Fear Alone; Wasted on You; Our Peace Someday; Desert Suicide; Voodoo
Me (acoustic)*; Souvenirs (acoustic)*
