REIGN OF FURY are gearing up for a huge 2015. Their second album “Death Be Thy Shepherd” was released on 27th February and they will be supporting this with tours and festivals across the UK throughout the whole year. Already with a huge amount of fans behind them, this new album should see them rise through the metal ranks at speed!

Formed in 2006, Reign Of Fury is the coming together of like-minded musicians with a passion for 80’s metal. They proudly embrace their inspirations, combining them with diverse flavours picked up on the music scene in bands such as 4ft Fingers, Screamin’ 88s, Gash and Whippasnappa. The end result is an explosive culmination of truly immersive music that stays faithful to what makes metal great, whilst delivering a fresh and truly accessible sound and is building an army of fans at a colossal rate.

The band played Bloodstock 2012 and undertook a 40 date tour in 2013 including 10 festival appearances. They were also the hosts of the Headbangers Balls tours with several sold out shows, including headliners Onslaught and Lawnmower Deth featuring Dr Hell from Evil Scarecrow, and have played support shows with M.O.D and Stampin’ Ground.

Major festival appearances to be announced in 2015.

Midlands thrashers REIGN OF FURY have announced that their highly anticipated follow up to 2012’s World Detonation will be released on 27th FEBRUARY 2015. Title DEATH BE THY SHEPHERD the band have promised a heavier offering showcasing their development as a band through extensive touring over the last two years.

The band said  “The album takes off where World Detonation finished and brings a much more aggressive edge to our sound. Our experiences, gigs, and rehearsals over the last two years seem to have naturally added a faster backbone to a lot of the music, and the band have pushed themselves to their limits from a technical point of view… the result is still 100% Reign of Fury, but this time there’s a lot more Fury! We think there may be one or too unexpected turns on this album, and we’re super excited about taking these tunes out on the road.“

Reign Of Fury are known for their creative artwork (see above) and visuals. The band went on to say this about the new albums art direction, “We’ve gone back to our regular artist, and part of the Reign of Fury family, Matt Dixon. Our manager Andy is also our creative director and he and Ed (lead guitar) worked very closely to develop a cover that stays true to our love for old school metal albums. We like to provoke a reaction, but in true metal traditions rather than high brow concept art. The title ‘Death Be Thy Shepherd” is probably enough explanation as to what’s going on! One very cool addition to the cover is that it also features four of our fans who pledged on a Kickstarter campaign to get their faces painted into our album art!”

Recorded at Abatis Studios in Warwick, the album will once again utilise the same team with Production by Jon Priestley and Dave Cleaves, and Mastered in Belgium by Nicolas Decléve.

The album will launch on CD with Moshtunage, with a special edition Vinyl release to follow.
