FURY

Ricky Boon (guitar); Darren McLennan (guitar); Mick O'Neil (vocals); Rick Vozzo (drums); Steve Comacchio (bass)

Starting life in Broken Hill in 1993, Fury was a classic style power metal band that has since changed its sound to something akin to that of Megadeth. A demo was recorded as a duo of Boon and McLennan with Lord Tim from Dungeon adding bass tracks and vocals. Shortly afterwards the line up was completed with the addition of former Acid and Bloodlust member O'Neil on vocals and Aaron Dewsberry on bass, with Ben Hall on drums. Consolidating the line-up, Fury recorded a self-titled EP and in mid-1998 moved base to Adelaide, where they swiftly found the services of a permanent drummer in the shape of Derek Beauchamp. Dewsberry moved back to Broken Hill late in the year and Comacchio joined the line-up. McLennan also played guitar for Chalice and Intellect Devourer for a short time. Fury has been a regular contributor to US label Dwell Records' Tribute series and a second album was released in 2001. Beauchamp left the band at the end of 2002. Rick Vozzo was finally found to fill the drumming position in August 2003 and a few months later the band re-released Slavekind.
