The hardest ║ │ │║ working band in UK metal are back ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Sometime around the turn of the last decade, MVM ║ │ │║ found itself in a club in Birmingham waiting for ║ │ │║ Blaze Bayley to play. The support were on. They ║ │ │║ were very good. Then the frontman said: ôthis is ║ │ │║ our last one, itÆs called ôDeath By Lightningö ║ │ │║ and then proceeded to play the best guitar solo ║ │ │║ that MV has ever seen played live. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The band was Fury UK, they released some albums ║ │ │║ (ôà.Lightningö was a bonus track on one) but ║ │ │║ more importantly they played just about ║ │ │║ everywhere. Put simply, if you saw an ║ │ │║ underground heavy metal gig you probably saw ║ │ │║ them. They supported Saxon and Iced Earth and ║ │ │║ they were fantastic. Then, their bass player, ║ │ │║ Luke Appleton û the brother of Chris, who played ║ │ │║ the aforementioned solo û joined Iced Earth and ║ │ │║ Fury UK (terrible name by the way boys) became ║ │ │║ Absolva, added an extra guitarist, became more ║ │ │║ classic rock than metal and carried on as ║ │ │║ before. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Which brings us to this. ôNever A Good Day To ║ │ │║ Dieö is the third album in not very long at all ║ │ │║ from the hardest working band there is. And like ║ │ │║ the other two itÆs an absolute knockout. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In fact itÆs slightly better than their last ║ │ │║ one, last yearÆs ôAnthems To The Deadö and itÆs ║ │ │║ obviously, from the starting gun of ôDisguiseö a ║ │ │║ more aggressive, in-your-face thing that builds ║ │ │║ itself around the lead guitar work of Appleton. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ThereÆs some subtle differences too, not least ║ │ │║ of which is that Luke has taken advantage of ║ │ │║ Iced EarthÆs 2015 hiatus to come back, play some ║ │ │║ rhythm guitar, co-write some tunes and generally ║ │ │║ add his skill to the record. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ At its very best, and the single ôNo one ║ │ │║ Escapesö is pretty close to that, ôà..Dieö is ║ │ │║ incredible. It had its roots in heavy metal, of ║ │ │║ course, but thereÆs an almost sleazy, raw feel ║ │ │║ to the riffery. On work like ôTransformö which ║ │ │║ initially youÆd swear was going to turn into ║ │ │║ ôParadise City,ö thereÆs a swagger and a ║ │ │║ confidence and the title track is a good old ║ │ │║ fashioned heads down, horns up- feet on the ║ │ │║ monitor- and letÆs get cracking song. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ThereÆs a couple of huge ballads to leaven this ║ │ │║ all out too. ôHow Black Is My Heartö is a real ║ │ │║ tear jerker, and thereÆs even a song that ║ │ │║ originally appeared on Chris AppletonÆs largely ║ │ │║ acoustic solo record from earlier in the year. ║ │ │║ ôNo Tomorrowö is given a real makeover here, and ║ │ │║ turned into a real turbo charged, catchy ║ │ │║ classic. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôNever A Good Day To Dieö the album itself isnÆt ║ │ │║ far behind. ItÆs probably AbsolvaÆs best and ║ │ │║ most accomplished work, and given that they were ║ │ │║ already the best underground band in Britain ║ │ │║ that makes this extremely good. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Rating 9/10 ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Disguise [05:05] │ │ 02 - Killer Within [03:24] │ │ 03 - No One Escape [04:25] │ │ 04 - The Light [05:03] │ │ 05 - Never A Good Day To Die [05:05] │ │ 06 - How Black Is My Heart?
