Fury & Flames is a release on my 2008 anticipations list. Knowing Dim Mak's Shaun Kelly's presence in the recording line-up is very re-assuring guitar-wise. My expectation of every Hate Eternal release is very high, namely because Erik Rutan is a first class guitar proponent/songwriter in this music genre, whose work rate has been consistent since the debut, Conquering the Throne.
True enough, Fury & Flames is a non-compromise in terms of intensity & musicianship. It is heartening to see other members co-writting the tunes but as a whole, Fury & Flames showcased improved production (especially the bass). Rutan's solo approach is still the oriental tinged noodling & if you are familiar with Shaun Kelly's playing style, you can actually identify him in the mix. Great release, to say the least.
