It’s been a minute since we heard any signs of life from FURY, but news of their emergence to come at this year’s stacked Sound and Fury lineup alongside the new single, “Vie”, swiftly corrects that and reminds us that predictability is never to be anticipated their way. Following the band’s 2019′s effort, Failed Entertainment, which heard the Los Angeles progressive hardcore band very much pushing the boundaries of their direction into groovier, melodic swerves, “Vie” veers its axe all the more metallic, with it inviting in a clean ripped solo from Chris Ulsh of metalcore thrashers Power Trip. Their collective energy charged and amplified, this ripper doubles as a memoriam for their fallen friend and bandmate, Riley Gale, in its heavy, primal spirit and Jeremy Stith’s poetry in motion. “(A whole life) Sharp like a knife / Dropped knee to the floor / To fall, to fly, to endure / Welcome defeat, rinse, repeat / Never like before / Goodbye Matador.” True legends never die, and in this case, his influence is more alive today than ever.

FURY’s “Vie” 7″ flexi single will be released late July on Triple B Records with all proceeds going to the Dallas Hope Charities in Riley Gale’s name.
