Furia‘s sixth album, Huta Luna, released in January this year has been nominated for a prestigious Polish cultural award, Polityka’s Passport.
The band started playing “typical Norwegian black metal”, however, they soon took their own unique avenue. Some call their music nekrofolk, others haunted rock. It is not so easy to define, but Furia are unlike other bands on the Polish extreme music scene. Their music is recognisable almost immediately by the unconventional poetics.
When they released Księżyc Milczy Luty in 2016, they had the metal underground and alternative scene listening. When they toured Poland as the band in the theatrical production of Wesele directed by Jan Klata, there was much admiration for what the band achieved. Thus, fans will be looking forward to what the ten-track long album will bring.
Tracks featured on Huta Luna are: ‘Zamawianie Trzecie’, ‘Swawola Niewola’, ‘Na kon!’, ‘Wracaj’, ‘Idz!’, ‘Spanie Polskie’, ‘Zamawianie Wirujacych Sarmatów (Czwarte)’, ‘Maska Masce’, ‘Gore!‘ and ‘Ksiezyc, Czyli Slonce’. It was issued as a double album on black vinyl 180g limited to 500 copies on its first pressing by Pagan Records here alongside other editions, and can be streamed in full on YouTube here.
The band had headed out on a headlining tour of Poland in 2023, with among the guests acts on the tour Zamilska, real name Natalia, promoting her album Uncovered. Owls Woods Graves also performed, as did Krzta.
Furia themselves played an exclusive UK dates at this year’s Fortress Festival and will be playing four dates in Poland again this December, alongside Norwegian Grammy-winning Gaahls Wyrd as fronted by legendary black metal vocalist, Gaahl, and French trio Aluk Todolo who play intense and stimulant krautrock with noise rock elements.
