Fury was a thrash metal group originating from Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia, in 1993, later relocating to Adelaide. During negotiations with record labels, the band adopted the name The Harrowed for their European performances while continuing under the Fury name within Australia. Former guitarist Ricky Boon, who is visually impaired due to Retinitis Pigmentosa, has familial ties to Lord Tim Grose of the band Lord. Fury contributed tracks to several American compilation albums released by Dwell Records, including covers for tribute albums dedicated to Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Death, and King Diamond. Currently, the band remains on an indefinite break as members Ricky Boon, Mick O'Neil, and Tim Hinton focus on a new musical endeavor.
History
In 2000, Fury issued a four-track EP entitled Stigmatised. A review from Metal Fanatix awarded it a score of 71 out of 100, recognizing the fusion of death metal and hardcore elements that produced a sound akin to deathcore but critiqued the release for lacking clear direction despite its powerful riffs.
Their follow-up album, Slavekind, received commentary from Metal Fanatix describing it as a pure thrash metal effort reminiscent of bands like Pantera and Scatterbrain. The review praised Fury’s dedication to their genre without veering into unrelated musical styles.
