The Song for Tonight: Fury of Five is a New Jersey-based hardcore band from the 1990s that was doing the beatdown style. They also never actually stopped. James Ismean (also known as Stikman) has kept it going with comebacks here and there. And they returned with a new EP, Half Past Revenge, earlier this year. From that EP, this is “WxAxRx” also known as W.A.R. (We Are Ready). Credit to them for having an actual solo in this kind of music.

The Rules: The rules remain the rules even as the Devils are in the playoffs. Please keep your comments clean, legal (read: no streams, no links to streams, no asking for streams, no streams, no streams), and all about the game itself. Other scores are OK, but let’s make sure the comments here are primarily about the Devils and this game. Also, let’s respect each other, there’s no need for drama or unwelcome nature of any sort. This is a game thread, let’s focus on the game. Play nice with each other or you will not play at all. Thank you for reading. Go Devils!
