Fury of Five – “At War With the World”
The first song on this CD warns you of the impending violence with the mantra: “This is not a threat, it’s a promise.” and you’d better believe it! Musically, this is what Michael would term “Muthafucka Hardcore”, referring to the pounding riffs and attitude-laden lyrics. For myself, I’d have to say it’s HC based crushing metalcore, that has more energy and diversity than most bands that fall into this genre. If you want it heavy, you need look no further-but this disc does not consist solely of the same boring chug-chug riffs and tired vocal patterns that you may be accustomed to. Rather, there is a sure and confident uniqueness here that will certainly set this band apart from their peers. Listened to, enjoyed, and highly recommended by this tired and bitchy reviewer. Check it out.
