Dropping with the pre-order announcement is the Alternative, Rock, Synthwave single “Velvet Rain” (feat. Ravdina). Fury Weekend blends a mix of harmonic synthesizers, steady rhythms, heavy guitar solos, and bass together with the gritty vocals of St. Petersburg based Metalcore band Ravdina. The single is an atmospheric but turbulent soundscape showcasing Fury Weekend‘s abilities as a producer.
The Fury Weekend project was created when Belarus-based Ars Nikonov chose to combine his love of classic rock, electronic music, and ‘80s culture into a forward-thinking music venture. The result is a dystopian synthwave sound that blends bright synth melodies and gritty guitar work into a singular music vision of the future.
The uniqueness of Fury Weekend should come as no surprise given the artist’s background, which involves ambitious projects ranging from industrial to post-rock. Diversant: 13, Cold in May, Martian Love, Seanine, and Tribal A.D. are some of the many names that fill Ars’ creative resume, and each of those has given the creator the experience and tools needed to make an impact with his retro-futuristic synthwave project.
Ravdina is an up and coming four-piece Metalcore band from Saint-Petersburg.
