One year after Fury's formation, Rivers wanted to play a heavier metal and his friend Justin agreed. The two began writing as members drifted in and out. At the time, Rivers was writing his own guitar parts as well as covering Metallica and Connecticut natives [[Fates Warning]]. He even went so far as to take guitar lessons from Fates Warning's Jim Matheos. Eventually, Rivers and Justin would call the band "Avant Garde". Rivers has since said, "We were anything but." Eventually, [[Kevin Ridel]] was cast as the lead singer. | One year after Fury's formation, Rivers wanted to play a heavier metal and his friend Justin agreed.
