Powerplay Magazine : (Gig review : Monsters Of Mosh Festival)
"Next up was the big surprise of the day, the truly excellent Fury UK. I can't say that I've been overly impressed with their recorded output to date, but they proved to be a real eye-opener in the live arena. Tight, energetic and extremely catchy, they played the kind of metal I could listen to all night. And the superb twin vocals were the icing on the cake. They just made it onto my list of bands to watch for the future." (Mark Hoaksey)

Hard Rock Hideout : (Salvation CD review)
"The production on this disc is very good. I love how I can hear the cymbals crash as if drummer Martin McNee was bashing the skins in my living room....if the 3 songs on this disc are any indication to the future of this band, then Fury UK will be huge before long. 8/10"

"....oozes old school metal that will appeal to all those of you who can remember back when Britain ruled the metal airways and showed the way for the world to follow. Again Appleton shines as always but with McNee and Cropper equal to him with some excellent backbone rhythm sections"

Heavy Metal Addiction (Salvation CD review)
"Guitar work is great, solos fantastic, and the vocals sound better as well. I’d have to really sit back and compare the two albums but I think the bass and drums are heavier on this CD. There’s a rawness, an “in your face” delivery, that really suits the band well. It gives them power and the music reflects that."

Toxic Pete (Salvation CD review)
"contagious, powerhouse rock fully primed with hard-rockin' riffs, punchy, precise bass-lines, persuasive, punctuative percussion and the sort of 'timeless' vocal delivery required for straight-down-the-middle heavy rock" 9/10....

Tasty Fanzine : november 2007 (Face of Adversity album review)
"....Natural Disaster; the second track is ace. The lyrics and vocals are clear, sung with both passion and power joined with amazing finger-ripping guitar solos. This theme continues through with "Breakthrough", "Wicked Glass" and "The End"...."

Live4Metal : november 2007 (Face of Adversity album review)
"....the overtones of masters of previous years with the rawness and drive of youth is a great combination. With regard to the new line up, the live shows seem to be based in the North West, and based on this platter deserve to be a sellout. But come on chaps, get a van and bless the rest of the UK with a bit of FUKing."

Pure Rawk : 2007 (Face of Adversity album review)
"Whilst special mention should go out to Wicked Glass & The End for some exceptional guitar work (the former boasting a dual solo that Trivium would sell their mothers for), probably the most impressive here is closer The Lost Soul. Dark & haunting acoustics prevail, with just a few electric guitars brushed into the background, supporting a breathy & dark vocal, managing to be immensely heavy with hardly any instrumentation at all"

ANGEL OF METAL : REVIEW OF ALBUM LAUNCH GIG 24TH MATCH 2007
Fury UK at Hark To Towler, Tottington, Nr. Bury 24th Mar 07
Fury UK are a 3 piece band based in the Manchester area. Using classic rock sounds, to heavy riffs, to excellent solos, to funky bass and hard rock beats on drums, Fury UK certainly know how to work it!
The lads were playing at Hark To Towler, based in Tottington, Bury – rocking pub with an 'aha me matey' feel to it and fantastic atmosphere (www.hark2towler.co.uk), Fury UK chose it to launch their second new album – 'Face Of Adversity'.
They opened up with 'Krueger' which is a perfect way to start the set and the album as it's got a combo of heavy changes, mind blowing guitar solo with excellent vocals from Chris, way cool bass "bongg"ness from Dawson (who has brill hair I may add ;) and completing the mighty trio with his vibrant drumming style – Adz (who smiles throughout and great to see someone clearly enjoying themselves).
The guys played their full album from start to finish. Following their beastie beginning, the guys lead onto 'Natural Disaster', which I think is my second favourite track as I like the instrumental side of it, but then again, in contrast 'Words You Say' is a mellow song to chill out to. You can put it to any situation. They soon were rockin' it up with 'Breakthrough', which is how I like my rock - aggressive! 'Breakthrough' must be the song that really got my attention. Following on was 'Dream as One', 'Wicked Glass' (total one to turn up to 11, maybe 12 if you want to be bad), 'Truth', 'The End' (which had a Metallica flare to it, you'll get me when you listen to it) and then finishing the set and the album with a nice acoustic number – 'The Lost Soul'. Their set blew me away and I bought their album. WORTH LOOKING INTO PEOPLE!
The lads had a short break, then soon got back up on stage to perform some tracks from their 1st album playing some awesome covers of 'Voodoo Chile' by Jimmy Hendrix, 'Spirit of Radio' by Rush incorporating 'Don't Stop Believing' by Journey, and 'Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be' by AC/DC (which I sang along to, its AC/DC you have to!) then showing their diversity by playing Trivium 'Dying In Your Arms', wrapping up the night with classic Metallica – 'Seek And Destroy'.
Toxic Pete : November 2007 (Face of Adversity album review)
"....controlled, hard, melodic rock with slight leaning towards prog & more than a touch of grace.... diverse and varied.... rockin' songs with punch and kick ass energy.... 'old school' rock is alive and in the more than capable hands of Fury UK .... it'll continue to find takers of all ages and walks of life.... a damn fine album & I'm glad there are still bands out there holding the old rock line and givin' it some!!

METAL HAMMER : AUGUST 2006 (review of Mist N Darkness Promo CD)
"a hard rock/metal trio from Manchester, whose focus is clearly the guitar - pinching more harmonics than Zakk Wylde on an instrumental. The single-tracked mid-tempo guitar thunders along heavily, and an Anselmo-alike gruff vocal attack is almost only ornamental placed either side of the amazing guitar work. That said, there are some nice riffs in evidence that keep the extravagant solos in check, and some perfect little hard rock breakdowns to keep the rhythms varied and the songs interesting. A well executed and interesting start. [7 out of 10]"

Fan review : "Ace gig at Life Cafe Manchester last night. FURY UK were fantastic; brilliant guitarist & vocalist. Best three-piece rock metal band I have seen in years."
MUNDO ROCK RADIO STATION : JUNE 2006 (My Tomorrow album review)
FURY UK :"MY TOMORROW"- 2005 Rocksector Records.
Formed originally year 2002 and after the edition of a CD single call "Alarms/ Hear no Evil" which helped to obtain them a good reputation in native city of Manchester, to the north of England, finally the hour to shape all the material composed from that year to date in a LP has arrived for this emergent trio known as Fury UK. The band practices a good mixture of hard rock and classic metal, with a root and predominant feeling in the old school. In fact, if one did not know that this is a production in 2005, most probable it is thought that of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. The sound and the type of compositions do not make but evoke that golden time at which the Heavy really reigned Metal, of the hand of bands like Iron Maiden (first years of course), Diamond Head, Angelwitch, Tokyo Blade and a long etc.
The influences of the band exactly go by the above, adding another touch not less classic, of group of the stature of the old Metallica, Megadeth or Black Sabbath. The initial "Power of God" enters to kick you completely with simple and direct riffs , good rhythm plus a vocalist in Chris Appleton that has much of the well-known like Paul Dí Anno or James Hetfield, although something more harsh and without arriving at such high tones. Heavy Metal full of infectious Old School in the rest of the disc. "Alarms" begins with devastating means. "Burning Star" seems to be similar to very same the Angelwitch, as a riff extracted from "Screaming Assault". Each track is executed in a very convincing way, solid and very melódic, always in agreement with that classic air that Fury UK evoke very well. The sound is not for comparing with one of the Finnvox studies, but no matter. I believe that much of the 80s sound resonates with more modern production. Other killer songs are "Mist 'n' Darkness", "Lynx", "Mercenaries" or the infectious "Ultra virus". Is it worth the trouble to spend some money in this work? Absolutely YES!!!!!. SCORE 8.5/10.

Lucas Gordon : June 2006
Furious they go out to the street to shout with all their force, the best hard rock-metal that the English can offer.
Band born in 2003 in Manchester, England, Fury UK (Fury UK, recently they changed its' name by adding the UK, surely there already existed another band with this name) they have achieved big progress with this cd independently (now released by Rocksector Records), since now they are interpreting the best style of the scene rock.
FUK (comic hey?) aim directly at the rawest hard rock of the old school, with passages more metal like in "Mercenaries" (sounds a little like Megadeth) and adding a touch of current sound.
The voice of the two singers gets together in a very particular way in "Hear not evil" in which to give an idea, imagine Bret Michaels and Jon Bon Jovi singing together, this is as I hear it.
Chris Appleton is the principal voice & guitarist, and it is him to whom I compare JBJ, whereas Marc Dawson is the other vocalist & bassist. The group is completed by Adam Galloway on drums. It's Chris who executes the metal riffs. They declare that their influences are Maiden, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth and Rush, although the sound of the band is not so heavy.
Recommended? Of course!
