Reign Of Fury

Reign Of Fury is a thrash metal group from Cheltenham, United Kingdom, active since 2006. The band plays a mix of thrash metal and melodic metal and is made up of Bison Steed on vocals, Ed Westlake and Jon Priestley on guitar, Magic Dave on drums, and Heavy Matt Earl on bass, who leaves the group in 2013. Although based in the West Midlands, the band develops a sound that combines aggression with accessibility and builds a sizeable fan base from its early releases and live work.

Reign Of Fury gains a reputation on the live circuit and later hosts the UK charity tour Headbangers Balls in 2013. The tour covers 12 UK venues and features 50 emerging acts, alongside US band Hatebreed.
