Fight The Fury Members, Gear & Sound

Fight The Fury is an American heavy metal band formed as a side project by John Cooper, the frontman of the well-known Christian rock band Skillet. Originating in the United States, the group includes John Cooper (vocals, bass), Seth Morrison (guitar), John Panzer III (guitar), and Jared Ward (drums). Fight The Fury embraces a heavier and more technically intricate sound compared to Skillet, drawing inspiration from legendary metal acts like Metallica, Dream Theater, and Megadeth.

Fight The Fury's sonic landscape is defined by its aggressive, tight, and high-energy metal riffs, characterized by the use of heavy distortion and intricate guitar work. The band's guitarists, Seth Morrison and John Panzer III, craft a dense yet articulate sound, often utilizing the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for its powerful and cutting distortion. This is complemented by the Pro Co RAT, adding a gritty edge to their tone. John Cooper's bass playing, featuring the Music Man Stingray 5HH, provides a robust and punchy foundation that locks in with Jared Ward’s dynamic drumming. Together, these elements create a visceral and commanding sound, perfect for musicians seeking to channel the intensity and precision of modern heavy metal.
