FURYON – Lost Salvation (2015)
*
Following the success of their debut CD which was released in three years ago and received a large amount of praise from fans and critics alike, FURYON headed back into the studio in 2014 to record their second album which is ready to be unleashed upon the world tomorrow, Feb. 23.
The new album entitled “Lost Salvation” show the evolution of the band blending Melodic Metal and Hard Rock with a very modern approach.
Recorded in two studios on two continents – in Atlanta USA and their home town of Brighton, UK – the new album from Furyon has 10 tracks and 44 minutes of effective, no-nonsense balls to the wall Rock and Metal music, and the opening track “All I Have” gives you a taster of what is to come. It gets this album off to a good start as all the ingredients are there and polished perfectly as everything sounds crisp and clear.
Matt Mitchell once again show us that his voice was built for this kind of music. He is indeed the archetypal rasping, driving, soaring, majestic frontman that all great Rock bands must have.
To focus on Matt, stupendous though his voice is, would be doing the rest of the guys in the band a huge disservice. Lee Farmery and Alex Bowen have that solid foundation that allows the guitars to dance around effortlessly, pulling some chunky, dirty riffs (the title track and “Scapegoat” in particular show this to great effect) and some melodically ripping solos.
The flavour of this album maintains that gritty, metallic feel from Furyon debut mixed with a commercial hard rock hook that makes them instantly accessible and eternally likeable.
From the gripping drive of “What You Need”, to the soaring “These Four Walls” that has a damn good epic chorus, to the majestic “Good Sky” that manages to throw a good bit of everything in together, Furyon seem to be able to turn their hand to any kind of style.
“Resurrect Me” spread lots of groove showcasing how tight this band really is, while “Left It With The Gods” delivers a highly addictive bridge & chorus.
“Lost Salvation” is one of those albums that has a little bit of everything to satisfy your rockin’ ears.
It’s always difficult to follow up a debut record with a product that is just stronger, better written and arranged. Furyon have achieved this and a lot more on this second effort via crunching riffs, tighter than a duck’s arse rhythm section, killer vocals with catchy choruses plus lots of shredding solos.
If you love yourself some gritty hard rock / melodic metal with epic vocals and brilliant solos then Furyon and their latest album is for you.
ROCKS.
