History

Fury issued a four-track extended play, ''Stigmatised'', in 2000. A reviewer from ''Metal Fanatix'' rated it at 71 out of 100 and explained, "they incorporate death metal and hardcore influences, and it makes their music almost like a deathcore band... The songs are good on this four song MCD, but they seem to lack direction. They have some good riffs but they seem to not be carried out to their full potential." The ''Metal Fanatix'' reviewer described their second album, ''Slavekind'', as "Like their previous music it is straight ahead thrash somewhere between the sounds of Pantera and Scatterbrain. At times this disk gets you going like a sixteen piston engine and at others like a banging door in a breeze... these guys are playing what they want, and not being distracted into something they can't relate to."
