Since their inception FURYON have been a band who like nothing more than to challenge expectations. Raised on a diet of heavy metal, prog, and classic rock, FURYON mix all these components for a truly unique and contemporary sound. Delivering huge rock radio friendly songs, with technically challenging, yet infectiously catchy musicianship. Dedicated to one sole purpose, making hard hitting songs that will stand the test of time.
From the outset FURYON have been a force to be reckoned with live. Word of mouth meant they soon became one of the biggest draws in Brighton’s busy rock scene, selling out shows at the iconic Concorde 2 venue, usually reserved for high profile touring bands. The blistering power and passion of a FURYON show is something very special to behold.
What separates FURYON from the crowd is the sheer quality of their musicianship. Boasting two truly world class guitarists in the form of Chris Green, and Pat “The Shred” Heath FURYON have few peers when it comes to the quality of their iconic riffs, and jaw dropping solos. Backing them up is one of the tightest rhythm sections the rock world has to offer with the awesome combination of Lee Farmery, and Nickel. Leading from the front is the outstanding vocal versatility of Matt Mitchell, whose emotion drenched voice effortlessly moves between melodic and crunchingly heavy.
In 2009, after a sell out tour, and accompanying EP, FURYON set about the serious business of writing their debut album. The early demo’s reached the ears of US producer Rick Beato (SHINEDOWN, FOZZY), and a powerful and symbiotic relationship was formed. It became obvious immediately that Beato and FURYON were on the same page creatively, so much so that the band flew out to his Atlanta studio to record their stunning debut album the aptly named “GRAVITAS”.
In the enviable position of being in complete control of the masters of an expertly produced album FURYON are carefully plotting their next move. Be sure to check back regularly for updates, as all signs point towards 2010 being FURYON’s year!

Souvenirs
Furyon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna face the big screen today,
i don't wanna watch, it won't go away
Hold me through this cold war
peace of mind, break this mould
Watch and waiting for time to erase,
Can somebody save
How do i keep myself from falling
As all i know is in my dreams you scream
Another time i could take you with me
Lovers like Souvenirs, break
Paint these scenes of life, show me what you'll find
you've been chained, you been stained by your time
Wait for us, lies, untrust,
Come undone, i'll be done
I can't believe we're so blind to this rage,
I can't wash it away
How do i keep myself from falling
As all i know is in my dreams you scream
Another time i could take you with me
Lovers like Souvenirs, break
Put me against the wall now everything has turned to dust,
Put me against the wall now everything has turned to rust
How do i keep myself from falling
As all i know is in my dreams you scream
Another time i could take you with me
Lovers like Souvenirs, break
Stay with me, lye with me, dare leave me,
I will forgive if you forget
Stay wanting, feel something, dare leave me
I will forgive if you forget
Stay wanting, feel something, dare leave me
I will forgive if you forget
Stay wanting, feel something, dare leave me here
