Ze omschrijven zichzelf als 'no postures, no bullshit, pure power'. En laat dat nu ook exact zijn zoals ze klinken. De Antwerpse mannen van Furia zijn de ideale band om uw hoofd op bangen en in moshpits mee te zitten. 

"Opener Furia gold als de grote onbekende van de dag. De band bleek echter een samenraapsel van een stel gave metalmuzikanten uit België. Onder aanvoering van Leng Tch’e’s Serge vloog er een wervelwind door de Trix waar orkaan Irma nog een puntje aan kan zuigen. De combinatie van grindcore en thrash was niet hetgeen waar de meeste mensen op voorbereid waren. Daarop pakte Serge Craven enkele mensen gewoon vast zodat ze wel in de microfoon moesten schreeuwen. Energiek, brutaal en tevens ook geniaal. Furia is een naam die in de toekomst nog wel eens vaak zal kunnen gaan vallen." - White Room Reviews over Furia toen ze openden voor Diable BLVD in sepember 2017.
