British band Furyon's debut album was self released in 2010 and is now released on a major label by Frontiers Records.
The opener and also the best song on hard rock album Gravitas is Disappear Again, which is a wonderful piece of work with its heavy guitar riffs during the verses, a classic guitar solo and a striking chorus that touches me instantly.
However, from song number two it gets too plain and may work as background music at your daytime jobs. A couple of the songs are in fact good or at least have some good parts, but I grow tired of them real fast. This record has been praised by many magazines when originally released, but I will not follow their path. I've listened to the album at least a dozen times and I never get that kick, as the major part of the songs don't stick at all.
Most of the album is well played with elements from the seventies until now. You can find hard rock, progressive and melodic stuff, some stoner rock and even some heavy metal parts. With this I would want to love this album, but instead I get bored and find myself daydreaming when listening to it.
It feels like the songs are made to be radio friendly
with one big smashing hit and that's not good enough for me. I wouldn't
be surprised at all though if this record reach decent sales figures,
if people hear the opening song first.
