Reign of Fury are a British thrash metal band who are based predominantly in South West England and The Midlands.
After about 6 months together, after hearing the instrumental demos they had recorded, Heavy Matt Earl, joined them on bass, having already been in another band, Screamin 88s, with Magic Dave for a while.
They tried out various singers to no avail, desperate to find somebody with the right vocal style for their sound, until eventually, in late 2009, Jon Priestley called upon friend Bison (Matt Steed), who was at that time playing bass for hardcore band Section 13.
After hearing what the band had to offer, Bison did some sample vocals over a few of the demo tracks Reign of Fury had recorded, songs which would later appear on the Psycho Intentions E.P.
This coincided with their DIY video for the title track of the E.P, filmed and edited by Matt Earl & Ed Westlake from the band.
The E.P artwork, by UK artist Matt Dixon was chosen out of the band's desire to have a mascot and the skeleton figure on the front cover is set to appear on all upcoming releases.
They rounded the year off with a national headlining tour in support of Teenage Cancer Trust called "Headbangers' Balls".
One date clash in Newcastle with Hatebreed resulted in the latter inviting Reign of Fury and their support to open for them, and donating their proceeds from the gig to the Headbangers' Balls cause.

Reign of Fury released their 3rd album "Exorcise Reality" in October 2019 on digital format only with Chris Musgrove replacing Paul Bielby on bass and Joey Jaycock taking over on guitar from Lenny.
