UPON A BURNING BODY
Fury
SEEK & STRIKE
Contentious metalcore crew take no prisoners on album six
Upon A Burning Body return to take the heat
EIGHT YEARS ON, many in the rock and metal world still know Upon A Burning Body for the fake kidnapping stunt they pulled to promote third album The World Is My Enemy Now –a move that was soundly derided from all corners yet garnered no apology from the band at all, either at the time or in the years since. Despite this – and their mawkish cover of DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s Turn Down For What that surfaced at the same time – they’ve otherwise continued in good form, with previous album Southern Hostility garnering strong reviews. Sixth album Fury intends to keep that upwards trajectory going for the Texan bruisers. None of its 11 tracks exceed three and a half minutes in length, and the result is arguably the metalcore outfit’s angriest record to date.
