Shortly after the Antwerp metal/H.C.-band Mug Shot split up, guitar player Marc and bass player Larry got the idea of starting a new band with the former Suhrim guitar player, Jerry. Jerry was not in a band at that time so he gladly agreed to join. The three of them started to exchange musical ideas and soon realised that the band was going to sound really massive.
Guust, the ex-drummer of Mug Shot told the guys that he could help them out for a short period of time only. At that time being a foursome, they started to compose their first songs at their practise place in Zwijndrecht.
When Marc heard that Hard Resistance, one of Belgium's most popular hardcore bands of the late nineties had split-up, he asked their vocalist Ron Bruynseels to come over and listen to their ideas and maybe become their singer. At first, Ron was a little sceptical about the idea of stepping into a new musical adventure but the least he could do was drive over there and listen to what the guys were doing, right? After hearing the guys play the songs, Ron was very impressed with the massive sound and decided to join.
A few months passed before the first problems appeared: Guust was no longer able to combine his job with his musical activities so he reluctantly decided to leave the band. With Guust leaving, everyone knew that it wasn't going to be easy, finding a new drummer and a new place to practice and create more mind-blowing music.
Jerry came up with the idea to call Dave Ligterink, who used to play drums with Kin Without the Blood. Since Dave wasn't playing in a band at that moment, he invited the guys over to his own place right in the centre of Antwerp. After Dave had heard the songs it soon became clear that he'd like to join, so he did.
The line up was complete again and they started to rehearse at the new location in Antwerp City. The band was still nameless and Ron came up with the name: Unleash The Fury, and a new band was born.
After almost a year of intensive songwriting they did their first performance in the pub 't Hemeltje, suprised many spectators that evening and proclaimed their place in the world of Heavy music.
The band started with solid gigs allover Belgium with bands such as; In-Quest, Born from Pain, 25 ta Life, Linchpin, Right Direction, Suhrim, Liar, Upperhand, Caldera,
Due to a lack of time, Larry (bass) and Marc (guitar) stopped their active career in the band.
The group started to search for new inspired members, and got back in contact with Joël Decoster, known as the drummer of the split up band Hard Resistance. He allready had a musical career as a bassist player long time ago in the Death Metal band Ordeal, so he was capable and motivated 100 % to pick up his first instrument.
A new guitarist is found in Kevin, known from the band Reply. A massive, hard, freaky and experimental project from the area of Antwerp. Both new members add a new dimension of highlights to the music and a new spiritual aeon is born. Because of their earlier musical work and succes, all 5 members have a different energetic past, stage-act experience and a will to play massively
Some magazines and fans call this music Deathcore, for the band itself it's raw, mean, deep, agressive, melodic, played with a blast!
Check out their promo-cd, and if you are looking for a energetic performance in your Club, don't hesitate to contact the band. Don't forget to check out the website for updates, Hot News, Tour Dates and more info. from the band.
