Airforce - 'The Fury' (official music video)

Why do I fear you, even though I cannot see you?
an evil demon deep inside, inside of me
you're living through me, you're my judge and my jury
talking from within my head, stealing all the beauty
unleashing the fury
why do I oppose you? I'm always gonna lose
an internal rage is growing stronger day by day
you’re living though body and soul, too hard to control now
talking from within my head, killing all the beauty
unleashing the fury
you're always in my head, I'm not alone
I'm gonna fight you, take... take your throne
I feel your evil grin, no way you're gonna win
you're breaking up my mind and body day by day
you're living through me, you're my judge and my jury
talking from within my head, stealing all the beauty
unleashing the fury

Ο Doug Sampson είναι ο τρίτος (χρονικά) drummer των Iron Maiden. Ενσωματώθηκε στην Βρετανική μπάντα το 1977 και έφυγε δύο έτη αργότερα (το 1979). Πρόκειται για τον drummer της (ιστορικής) πρώτης κυκλοφορίας των Maiden καθώς μετείχε στο demo "The Soundhouse Tapes" που "βγήκε" τον Νοέμβριο του 1979, ενώ ηχογράφησε τα τύμπανα στο τραγούδι "Burning Ambition", το οποίο μπήκε στην δεύτερη πλευρά του single "Running Free" που κυκλοφόρησε τον Φεβρουάριο του 1980.

Το 1987 ήταν εκ των ιδρυτικών μελών του συγκροτήματος Airforce, συγκρότημα το οποίο συνεχίζει μέχρι τις ημέρες μας (με ένα εξαετές διάλειμμα). Στην πρώτη περίοδο της μπάντας (1987-2001) δεν υπήρξε επίσημη κυκλοφορία. Η δισκογραφία τους αρχίζει μετά την επανένωσή τους το 2008.

Οι Airforce έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τρεις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("Judgement Day" 2016), "Strike Hard" 2020, "Acts of Madness" 2025), ισάριθμα EPs ("The Black Box Recordings: Volume 1" 2017, "The Black Box Recordings: Volume 2" 2018), τρία singles και ένα live album ("Live Locked n' Loaded - In Poland Lublin Radio" 2021). Παρακολουθούμε το μουσικό βίντεο του τραγουδιού "The Fury", για το οποίο η Αγγλική μπάντα μας λέει σχετικά:

Δελτίο τύπου: «"The Fury" is a song about a nice person having an inner Demon, and attempting to control both the good and the Bad. An inner battle between Dark and Light, good and Evil, a sort of Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde situation.

To a much lesser degree, this is something that a lot of people have said they have going on inside them. Strangely enough, the song title inspiration came from the Bad Pitt Movie "Fury" about a disabled Sherman Tank fighting a superior force.

Tony had the initial idea of an evil entity deep inside a person fighting to get out, and had written some lyrics and an outline melody. Unusually for Airforce the song then came together quite quickly. Tony took the song idea to Chops home studio and Chop perfected the guitar Riffs.

All of Airforce worked on THE FURY over the period of a few weeks. Everything about this song seemed to fit just right, and we knew we had a good song progressing well.

Finally, we took "The Fury" to Jez Coad our producer who added a few more ideas, which included slowing down part of the mid-section. We are very pleased with the way this song turned out when it was completed. The Fury was included in the recently released Airforce Album "Acts of Madness".»
