Out of the more brutal metal subgenres (excluding heavy, power, goth and the crappy likes of course) thrash metal is easily my least favourite. Sure, I can definitely enjoy a good thrash album, but it needs to be something special. The Fury I Hide is not that, it�s actually quite lo-fi.
The first thing I take notice of is the bad English grammar, with the title Heavyer stone tipping me off. And reading their lyrics I find such extraordinaire examples of bad grammar. Like for instance what is this new deimention? Last I remember I was death in a grave. They put me into a cofinn, burie me down with warms (the first verse in the opening track). Now that�s some seriously bad grammar. But oh well, that�s not the most important thing, I suppose, more of an observation. But unfortunately �bad� continues to stay in my mind, as the sound�s really thin, with screechy guitars, a bass that�s almost impossible to hear, drumming that sounds �dish, dish, dish�, and static as soon as the vocals sets in. It might have been acceptable for a demo, but not an MCD.
Most of the riffing�s very ordinary and standard for more old school stuff, with its few moments of shine. For instance the quick riffing in the early parts of Thrash attack is really cool. The vocals don�t stand out either, and are quite ordinary them as well. Most of the stuff�s screams, but there are moments of bad clean vocals.
As far as influences go I guess Venom and the early American/German scenes, whereas Demonized reminds me of Sepultura at times. It all sounds a bit �young� and newbie, like done by someone early in their musical career. I guess it�s not extraordinarily bad, it�s just nothing exciting.
