The Charm The Fury album is a must for modern day metal fans!

October 20, 2013

Last month we introduced you to the band from the Netherlands, The Charm The Fury as our Tuesdays Travels Pick of the Week. Well, we have been enjoying their debut album which was released in September, “A Shade of My Former Self”. This full length album is truly remarkable and for a debut album, packs a lot of punch! This metalcore band has been dubbed as Holland’s “best kept secret” and they are taking the world by storm with their edgy yet aggressive style. I would almost consider this album to be a concept album since it is definitely a complete work of art that tells a story and walks or should I say headbangs you into a journey. Let me tell you about several of the songs on this amazing album!

This ferocious metalcore song also includes great harmony and kick ass vocals by Caroline. Get [Read More]
