“Fortune’s Gate”, the debut album by the FURIES, was released on October 16th, 2020. But since then things have been quieter about the French band. But now FURIES are back, albeit as a duo at the moment. Guitarist Guillaume Jockey and drummer Zaza Bathory recently released the new single “”Rise & Shine” with the help of ex-member Samuel Charles (guitar, bass). The song is the first in a series of new songs to be released in the near future can be presented.
The FURIES have each invited a guest at the microphone for the new songs. In the case of “Rise And Shine” it’s Alessia Scolletti, known as the lead singer of ERA (“Ameno”) and as a former member of TEMPERENCE. It’s a Franco-Italian fusion of talent that will astound listeners. Mixing and mastering duties were handled by Domination Studio/DGM’s Simone Mularoni, while Labomatic Studios’ Igor Moreno recorded. The music video, directed by Antoine Doyen, offers a behind-the-scenes look at this epic collaboration and captures the euphoria surrounding recording Alessia in Paris.
In an exciting comeback, FURIES team up with the sensational Alessia Scolletti for an explosive new single together!
