Video premiere: Fury “Interceptor”
British heavy metal band Fury, featuring Mercyful Fate’s Becky Baldwin on bass, premieres a new single and music video. Watch the video below.
Taken from Fury’s upcoming fifth studio album, “Interceptor” is a no-holds-barred anthem that encapsulates the high-octane spirit of the band’s evolving sound. With lightning-fast riffing, dual lead vocals that soar and strike in equal measure and a pulse that never lets up, this title track is a statement of intent from a band firing on all cylinders.
Fury, founded in 2010 in England’s Midlands, challenges the barriers of the hard rock and metal genres once again with its exciting new album “Interceptor”. From the reassuringly old-school fast riffing and anthemic vocals the long-lasting fans know from Fury, to the carefully composed, introspective auditory treats that might surprise listeners who expect metal bands to sit neatly in their box.
Since the band’s previous album, “Born to Sin” (2022), Fury has moved into the territory of dual lead vocals, opening up a new soundscape for the band to explore. With the release of every album since their debut in 2014, vocal melody and harmony have become an increasingly significant part of their sound. Powerhouse singer Nyah Ifill has joined alongside founding member Julian Jenkins on co-lead vocals. The pairing of their two distinctive vocal timbres builds a wall of sound on the “Interceptor” album and doesn’t let up the intensity for their roaring live shows.
2022 was also a big year for Fury bassist Becky Baldwin, who found herself meeting heavy metal idols Mercyful Fate on their first tour in 23 years, and was invited by King Diamond to tour the USA, Canada and Mexico with Mercyful Fate in the absence of their bassist, Joey Vera. After taking this opportunity, Becky was invited to join Mercyful Fate permanently in January 2024. With frequent gaps in the touring schedule to allow King Diamond his many projects, Becky found herself busy with Fury, on the road and recording the high-energy new album “Interceptor”.
“Interceptor” also marks another sonic change for the band, bringing in the production expertise of Todd Campbell of Stompbox Studios. Fury met Todd while touring Europe supporting Phil Campbell & the Bastard Sons in 2023. It became clear that someone so close to Motörhead and Lemmy would understand the energy, rawness and dirty guitar and bass tones that Fury craved for their fifth studio album.
“Interceptor” will be released on 5th September via Mighty Music.
