Audio samples of the songs that are set to appear on “A Shade Of My Former Self”, the new album from Dutch female-fronted metallers The Charm The Fury, can be streamed below. The CD will be released on September 17 in North America via Pavement Entertainment and on September 16 in the rest of the world through Listenable Records.
The Charm The Fury‘s debut CD, “The Social Meltdown”, saw a frenzy of hype surround the band, with extensive coverage across national radio, including BBC Radio One, and in Europe’s acclaimed music magazines such as Metal Hammer and Kerrang!
The Charm The Fury graced stages with the likes of I Killed The Prom Queen, Oh Sleeper and Textures during 2012 and put on a memorable performance at Groezrock festival that raised the bar and offered a greater platform to reach new fans.
The female-fronted quintet not only offers something creatively different with its female screamer but a collection of high-energy monstrous anthems that have hooked the industry with full effect.
Says vocalist Caroline Westendorp: “It is so exciting to see how fast the band has grown in such a short space of time. Reactions have been so positive and it is great to welcome the two labels on board and make the next release a real big deal across seas. You can expect some cool surprises in the new record and we cannot wait to show the fans what we have in store for them.”
