A couple years ago, Fury's Madison Woodward formed a new band called Purest Form and they unleashed their nasty self-titled debut EP. Now, as they're getting ready to play some shows and festivals later this year, the group is announcing a new EP called Resistance and their signing to Dais Records.
The lead single "Animal" comes with a Ministry-inspired music video directed by vocalist Story Beeson. "The video takes on the horror of surveillance," she explains. "While using a lot of throwback technology, mostly to pay homage to its influence — Peter Christopherson's video for Ministry's 'Over The Shoulder,' it very much intends to communicate how more modern technology is being used for violence against our communities and humanity as a whole. It fits with the concept of 'ANIMAL': whether the nature is sexual or simply a desire to exist, we deserve to have freedom and we must take that freedom back."
About the EP, she adds, "The nature and actions of our country are overwhelming, I can't get away from the feeling of 'what can we do to resist this at all costs?' We have very radical fantasies across the board, making music that isn't talking about what’s happening right now just feels unimportant to us. We are willing to sacrifice whatever to make music that is honest. It's both important and fun to have a project where it's just like a complete fuck you. And also a complete desire to unify."
