Fury open the gates of hell with raucous new album ‘Born To Sin’, released on Friday the 18th of March 2022.
Following on from their 2020 release ‘The Grand Prize’, the band are back with a louder, harder and faster edge with their demonic-themed new album. Vocalist Julian Jenkins explains:
“Born To Sin has everything you'd expect from a Fury album, from fast energetic rockers perfect for working your neck muscles, to our now traditional (one per album) ballad. And of course the album is awash with wailing lead guitar, bass and drum solos, big catchy vocal hooks and an absolute choral feast of backing vocals. Overall the album has a more aggressive sound, whilst still maintaining all of the melodic elements that make us...us.”
The band have turned to darker and more introspective themes, which is unsurprising for an album written and recorded during multiple lockdowns and cancelled tours since Spring 2020. However, there is still plenty of the uplifting energy and excitement that has been present in the band’s previous releases.
Bassist Becky Baldwin discusses the album’s theme
“It felt like our previous album ‘The Grand Prize’ divided opinions amongst the metal community - although the songs have been very popular, the motor racing theme did not connect with everyone. This time around, we have gone back to the roots of metal and opted for badass demonic imagery. We also employ one of the oldest folklores, in our tale of selling our souls to the devil for fortune and fame.”
‘Born To Sin’ features a broader soundscape for Fury, with layered vocal harmonies now becoming an integral part of the production. We hear much more from backing vocalist Nyah Ifill, who featured as a guest vocalist on ‘Upon The Lonesome Tide’ and Road Warrior’ from their 2020 album. The prominence of piano and organ on the album’s only ballad, ‘Shadows and Dust’ takes Fury in a previously unexplored bluesy direction.
Born To Sin is set for release on the 18th of March 2022
