As evening fell and the clock struck 7:30pm, the line to get into the Primordial Presents stage at the PGM 2023 was stretching back to the bar for the much-anticipated performance of Fury.
Known for their electrifying live sets, Fury’s music resonates with the heavy riffs and theatrics from some of rock and metal’s most iconic bands; Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Meat Loaf have all had indelible impacts on Fury’s sound and ethos. This connection created a delightful atmosphere of fun rock and timeless metal that had the crowd at PGM 2023 energetically bouncing in a frenzy of metal mayhem.
Echoes of Giants: Fury’s Heavy Metal Roots
Metallica and Iron Maiden stand as pillars in the pallet of Fury’s musical identity. In a conversation with Roctavia bassist Becky Baldwin states:
Metallica is definitely a big influence, as well as Iron Maiden. Those are the kind of bands that we sound most similar to. There’s also some Meat Loaf influences there, something very theatrical and a bit over the top. For myself, Metallica was a big band that I was super into growing up and Black Sabbath, another big one for me as a bass player. My two favorite bassists are Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath and Cliff Burton from Metallica, so they definitely influence my style. Our vocalist, Julian, writes most of our songs and he’s a big Metallica fan as well. That’s the kind of thing we’re trying to get out of the band really.
I’ve been playing bass for about 17 or 18 years now. I guess there have been times when it hasn’t been my main priority, even though I’ve always wanted to do it. As soon as I picked it up, it was clear this is what I want to do forever. I started wanting to learn because some of my friends were learning guitar and I got into rock music and punk. Suddenly, Metallica was on TV and I was exposed to all these music videos I had never seen before. So, I decided to try the bass instead of guitar, inspired by other bass players in the bands I liked.
I think the first gig I went to on my own was Motorhead, with Girlschool supporting them. That was the first time I saw women playing instruments live on stage, which was different from seeing Nightwish with just a female singer. Watching Girlschool and then seeing Joan Jett years later made me realize that I could do this. Watching a band, I often imagine myself in their place, thinking I could jump up and play a song with them.
Fury’s music is marked by continuing collaboration, with lead singer Julian playing a key role in the songwriting process. The band’s shared appreciation for Metallica helps to create a cohesive sound that breathes new life into the classic sound of heavy metal.
Intertwined with personal stories of musical discovery and ambition, Fury is not only influenced by their musical inspirations but also by a love for live performances and a strong connection with their fans.

Fury’s Fiery Comeback at Bloodstock & Beyond
Following a hiatus from live music since 2019, Fury re-ignited their live shows when they were called upon to open the Sophie Lancaster Stage at Bloodstock Festival 2021, speaking to Metal Talk Becky says:
We hadn’t gigged at all since 2019 at that point. So it was a little bit ropy in 2021. We were so happy that we were invited back in 2023 because it meant we could do it again and make songs sound the way we really wanted them to be played. It got filmed professionally and there’s a great video of our performance from that year. We were halfway through our biggest touring year ever, so we were working like a well-oiled machine.
Despite not being the heaviest band on the bill, Fury continues to bring big crowds at festivals like Bloodstock:
The turnouts were always really good, but I think it’s the kind of band that you might want to see at a festival. It’s kind of fun. You don’t need to be a super fan to enjoy the live show because it is fast and engaging, and I guess there’s enough breadth of genre and style there.
With their ability to attract large festival crowds both in the UK and internationally, Fury’s unwavering dedication and sincere love for live music, along with the strong connection with their fans, showcase an enduring spirit for the timeless and vibrant world of heavy metal in 2024.
Embracing Change: Fury’s Path in the Music Industry
In the constantly changing world of the music industry, bands often struggle to stay true to their sound while appealing to broader audiences. In a visit to Stompbox Studios in South Wales, where they recorded a single under the supervision of Todd Campbell, Becky says to Metal Talk:
We started to think about changing our approach to the recording. We really loved the sound of the last couple of albums, but some people have said we sound different. Very different live than we do on the recording. So, we were thinking maybe we should try something different to freshen up the sound a bit more.
When we heard that Todd Campbell from Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons had a studio, we thought that would probably be a good place to start because we are getting on with them well, and their latest album [Kings Of The Asylum] sounds great. We thought we would give it a go.
As 2024 approaches and Becky balances bass duties for Fury and now Mercyful Fate, the anticipation for new music from both bands continues to grow:
Hopefully, this year, we will get at least one single out with Mercyful Fate, but the album will probably be the following year (2025). Then there’ll be a big tour of Europe, America, and South America. So, there’s still quite a lot of time. But there isn’t a lot of Mercyful Fate work for me to get on with now. It’s just kind of catching up with the demos because it’s all new to me.
In the meantime, I’ll work on Fury stuff where I can over the next year or two until we’ve got the big Mercyful Fate tour. But everything’s planned well in advance. Everything’s scheduled as it needs to be. It means that I can manage the Fury schedule as well. And because I’m in charge of the Fury schedule, that makes things easy.
Fury’s progression exemplifies a wider story within the rock and metal scene in 2024; blending innovation with tradition by honouring the pioneers who paved the way, exploring fresh concepts, and recognizing the importance of nurturing a deep bond with your fans.
Fury’s dedication to perfecting their music while remaining authentic to their origins showcases a band here for the long haul, building a long-lasting and meaningful career for the band and fans alike.
We can’t wait to welcome them back to the Mascot Records stage for the Primordial General Mayhem 2024.

As Bring Me The Horizon marks 20 years as a band, they have recently reflected on their journey and unexpected evolution of the narrative for ‘Eve’, which has become a central part of their recent live performances and upcoming new album; POST HUMAN: NeX GEn.
The Genesis of ‘Eve’ and Its Impact on BMTH’s Music
In a new interview with Triple J, frontman Oli Sykes and drummer Matt Nicholls discussed the band’s creative process, the influence of live performances on their music, and their sentiments on 20 years as a band…

Triple J: Can you talk about the idea of Eve and how it plays a role in your show? Where did the idea come from?
Oli Sykes: Initially, Eve was just something we thought we’d do for Reading and Leeds, but it quickly took on a life of its own. This narrative started forming and influenced our next record more than I thought it would. Eve essentially became this very important entity for the show, and I thought we could actually carry on a story here. The kids seem to love the immersiveness of it. It’s really turned into a significant part of the narrative in our new album, serving as a good plot device for the themes and messages I’m trying to convey on a personal level. It’s turned into something that feels more like a story or a video game or a movie.
Triple J: Do you think the live shows you’ve been doing lately have changed the trajectory of the album in any way?
Oli Sykes: It was weird because when we did “Survival Horror,” we hadn’t been playing shows due to lockdown, so that record was made without any live feel. But this next one, you do feel certain tempos or bounce and how people react to things live, which influences us. Honestly, a lot of the stuff we’ve been doing recently is just we make it, and then we worry about how it’s going to translate live. But yes, it does usually influence us on some level, especially because I’ve been writing on tour as well. So, there’s actually a lot more time to write than you might think. We play for an hour and a half at night, so we do have a full day, though it’s not as much time as you’d think with press and other day activities.
Triple J: Twenty years on from your first EP, it seems like Bring Me the Horizon is stronger than ever. How do each of you feel at this point in your career?
Matt Nicholls: Well, we’re feeling older now, but honestly, we all feel pretty good. It’s surprising where we can take it from here. Twenty years this month actually since we’ve been a band and played our first show. We didn’t even think we’d still be around 20 months later, let alone 20 years. But it’s just that old saying, you just gotta ride the wave and see where it takes you. Fortunately for us, it’s taken us 20 years down the line. We’re all a bit older, a bit achier, but we’re still good.
Oli Sykes: Right, I’d say we’re happier than we’ve ever been as a unit. The vibe is so good. Creatively, we’ve learned so much over these 20 years, especially in the last five years when things were getting really big for us. We’ve learned a lot of lessons about who we want to be and how we want to play this game. We’ve found a really good spot where the creation of our music and everything we put out is the most important thing, over fame, success, money, all that kind of stuff. We’re in a real good spot where we just like, we’ve had a taste of that world and realized that at the end of the day, when this is all done, we want to look back and be proud of the work we did because that’s all we really care about.
You can watch the full interview below.
Bring Me The Horizon have also recently released a teaser for the new album stating “It’s time for a new era.” Delayed since August 2023, POST HUMAN: NeX GEn is slated for a summer 2024 release.

“We have to finish the new record. We’ve been working on it, we have a very strict six-year cycle…I think we might be a little overdue. We gotta do it this year. We can feel the heat too, but you know, it’s gotta percolate. We got to fit in between Jack’s very busy film schedule. But we’re going to do it.”

The Primordial General Mayhem is BACK for 2024! Taking place at KK’s Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, here is the lowdown on what to expect across the weekend.
Stage Times
Kerry King has released a brand new single and music video entitled “Residue” (Watch Below), the second single from his forthcoming solo album titled “From Hell I Rise”. The video is directed by Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera, known for their work with artists such as Jerry Cantrell and Sebastian Bach, and was shot in their Phoenix studio.
The video highlights King’s new ensemble, which includes drummer Paul Bostaph (formerly of SLAYER), bassist Kyle Sanders (HELLYEAH), guitarist Phil Demmel (ex-MACHINE HEAD), and vocalist Mark Osegueda (DEATH ANGEL).
Kerry King Debuts Fiery New Video “Residue”
Jim Louvau described the video concept as “A fiery, bitchin’, heavy fucking metal performance introducing the world to Kerry King’s new project and band members. A no-bullshit, no-prisoners showcase of the bandmembers, performing while engulfed in flames and surrounded by burning pentagrams.”
King, reflecting on the theme of the video, stated:

“I come from a big fire pedigree, and my music works with fire. I’ve always written horror-type music, so it made sense to incorporate fire into the first video, where you get to see the entire band, which I think is just awesome. I think fire goes hand in hand with the devil, and I’m no stranger to talking about the devil.”
Louvau added: “I knew this would be the first time that the world was going to see the band performing together, so I wanted to create a fast-moving visual assault. Pyrotechnics and Kerry King clearly go hand in hand and seem to fit like a glove, so Tony and I wanted to create something that felt familiar but also something new and exciting. I also knew I could get away with certain visuals like a burning pentagram.”
The album “From Hell I Rise” is scheduled for release on May 17 via Reigning Phoenix Music. All tracks were penned by King, with the recording sessions led by producer Josh Wilbur at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles. Wilbur’s production credits include work with prominent bands like KORN and LAMB OF GOD.
The tracklist for “From Hell I Rise” includes:
1. Diablo
2. Where I Reign
3. Residue
4. Idle Hands
5. Trophies Of The Tyrant
6. Crucifixation
7. Tension
8. Everything I Hate About You
9. Toxic
10. Two Fists
11. Rage
12. Shrapnel
13. From Hell I Rise
Alongside the new album from Kerry King, it was also recently announced that Slayer will be reforming in 2024 for two shows at Louder Than Life and Riot Fest, currently, these are the only known planned shows for Slayer, but it’s anticipated more could be announced as demand remains high to see the thrash metal legends live.

Differing from its predecessor, which was noted for its dark and realistic portrayal of the Joker’s origins in Gotham City, “Joker: Folie à Deux” is positioned to diverge by introducing musical elements. Described as a jukebox musical, the film promises an array of at least 15 musical tracks, highlighted by a rendition of Judy Garland’s “That’s Entertainment!” from The Band Wagon. The background music featured in the trailer is “What the World Needs Now Is Love.”
In preparation for her role, the film’s cinematographer, Larry Sherr shared that Lady Gaga, known for her multifaceted talents in music and acting, adopted a unique approach by requesting to be referred to as Lee on set, aiming to immerse herself fully into her character.
Marking its spot as one of the year’s most anticipated films, “Joker: Folie à Deux” is scheduled for a theatrical release on October 4th, 2024.

Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach has made a guest appearance on a new track by death metal band Terminal Nation. The song, titled “Merchants Of Bloodshed,” is part of Terminal Nation’s forthcoming album, “Echoes Of The Devil’s Den,” and is available for streaming below.
Jesse Leach Guests on Terminal Nation’s ‘Merchants Of Bloodshed
Terminal Nation shared their excitement about collaborating with Leach, revealing how it came about:
“A few years ago, Jesse Leach sent us a message telling us that he was a fan of the band, which was wild to wrap our heads around, as Killswitch Engage is a band that helped introduce some of us to heavier music. While writing the album, we knew this song was special. Lyrically, it’s some of my best work, and structurally, it is very verse/chorus/bridge style, which is rare for us, and it ends in a grandiose ballad-like ending.
While, outside of our comfort zone, it fits the lyrics, and I felt that it really needed a quality singer. Knowing Jesse was into our music, we approached him, and he was into the song and my lyrics. He recorded his lyrics, bouncing off mine, and I couldn’t have imagined it coming out better. This song is still very much Terminal Nation, but it’s a little bit of a different flavor than many are used to.”

Twisted Sister wrapped up their farewell tour in late 2016, marking what many thought was the end of their touring days. Yet, according to frontman Dee Snider in a recent conversation with The Hook Rocks! Podcast, the band is reconsidering their stance due to significant offers that have come their way.
Twisted Sister Rethinks Reunion
During a one-off performance in 2023 for Twisted Sister’s induction into the Metal Hall of Fame, Snider was clear about the band only reuniting for special occasions. However, the landscape seems to be changing, with Snider explaining that it’s difficult to turn down the big offers coming their way…

The singer said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):
“As a result of all the bands retiring and dying, the offers get bigger and bigger for the holdouts to come back. And we retired in 2016, I think it was. So we’re on eight years now of not playing, with no intention of coming back. But — my father, he says, ‘Everything before the word ‘but’ is bullshit — but at some point, you’ve gotta say, ‘Well, how can I say no to that?'”
He continued: “Is it there yet? No. Is it getting close? Yeah. Is there talk amongst us, like, ‘Well, in the event that the numbers do get there, and they sure as hell seem to be going in that direction, how are we gonna do this?’ So there’s a little bit of that conversation. And that’s both physically how we’re gonna do it and on a number of other levels. And that’s a recent occurrence, that the conversation has gone from ‘never’ to ‘in the event that they make as an offer we can’t refuse, what’s the plan?’ And there’s some very general discussion on that, involving personal trainers [laughs], diets, hair extensions. And that’s the first time in eight years that the conversation has changed.”
Central to Snider’s reflections about a possible reunion is the unity and friendship among the band members. He emphasized their strong relationship, stating
“We’re all friends, by the way. The surviving guys, we all talk and we’re all friends and we love each other. And that was one of the great things that came out of getting back together the first time is that we managed to fix the friendships and be friends and that, to me, is really why I wanted to do it in the first place, getting back [together] last time… So, anyway, we’ll see what happens.”
