Great Vengeance & Furious Fire

The Heavy

Gritty garage rock colliding with vintage soul swagger. A dusty, sample-heavy debut that sounds like a lost Stax record played through a blown-out Marshall stack.

A high-stakes blend of triumphant soul swagger and gritty, basement-born rock tension.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive entry of the brass section on 'That Kind of Man' that instantly shifts the energy from garage rock to high-octane soul.
The heavy, distorted bass line on 'Coleen' that feels like it was sampled directly from a forgotten 1960s funk 45.
The stripped-back, bluesy vulnerability of 'Who Needs the Sunshine?' closing the album with a weary, atmospheric exhale.
