Band history
Fury of Five formed in 1994. Their unique combination of head-spinning, jagged riffs with withering social critiques quickly won them widespread acclaim from punks, metalheads and scholars alike.
Their lyrics were replete with uncompromising statements regarding social and political issues, including the perils of modern romance, gambling, drug addiction, racism, and Jersey not being disgraced.
Their early creative output limited to tracks on compilations, Fury of Five released two 7"s as well as a full length album entitled No Reason to Smile. Widespread accolades in peer-reviewed journals won them a significant following, becoming one of the biggest drawing underground acts in the state. The band toured extensively throughout the Northeastern United States with bands such as Madball, Earth Crisis, and Fear Factory, and completed two European tours with Integrity and Pro-Pain, respectively. Two releases on Victory Records followed, At War with the World in 1998, and This Time It's Personal in 2000.
In addition, Fury of Five teamed up with New Jersey rapcore band E-Town Concrete on a much celebrated remix of "We Want It All" by Anthony Martini. Music critics at the time hailed the collaboration "the pinnacle of realness."
