Mastered by legendary James Murphy of Safe house production (Testament, Death, Obituary), “Fury Rising” takes a musical journey from Alice in Chains style vocal melodies to longer, epic songs with varying vocal styles on songs like The Fear. Follow this by a fun take on Guitar Hero in the song “Unstrung Hero, to the final ending with the acoustic “Fever Slide”, a song about the struggle of dealing with cancer. “Fury Rising” takes the listener through a roller coaster of emotions and music frenzy. From technical metal anthems to the album's close in a swell of professionally performed pianos, cellos, and violins. “This is certainly an expansion of what we've ever done before. It has it all drummer Steve Bacchia explains with excitement. Bacchia continues: We're not afraid to have a ballad or an acoustic song on a hard rock and metal album either. We feel that bands today are taking music in one direction or another. They either are very heavy with screaming vocals or very mainstream with no memorable riffs and usually some form of whining emo vocals. What we like to do is have a diverse collection of songs that result in a worthwhile album.
