> FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE SIGN TO TRANSCEND RECORDS
Transcend Records are pleased to announce yet another new addition to their ever expanding beefy Brit-Metal roster.
Hailing from darkest Essex, Fortune Favours The Brave are a progressive metal act who combine technical riffage, epic lead sections and ear shredding solos to create a truly impressive and unique cocktail of metal. Drawing influence from acts such as Darkest Hour, Sikth and Killswitch Engage, FFTB pool their individual indulgences to overwhelm and enthrall their listener.
A hint of screamo, a splash of death and lashings of metalcore, packed with juicy guitar solo's and angular squirting riffery pretty much sums up what you can expect from FFTB. The band are currently secreted away in the studio crafting their debut release which will surface sometime around the middle of the year.
