NEONFLY – a brief history…
In the short space of 8 months NEONFLY have gone from playing their first show in November 2008 in St. Albans to:
- Playing festivals in AUSTRIA,
- Supporting POWER QUEST on their last UK tour,
- And having 2 successful European tours, in countries like HUNGARY and SLOVAKIA, conquering crowds wherever they go.
The future looks just as bright, as the band is confirmed to play at RAISMESFEST in FRANCE in September, with bands like EPICA, MSG, AXXIS and PAIN. They are also confirmed as support in the UK for ADAGIO and TO-MERA in October.
The band’s commitment to their fans and their music is unquestionable, as they have achieved all this with no support or help from record labels, promotion companies, or management.
NEONFLY thanks their fans for their continued support over the past few months and we hope to see you on the road again soon!
Just like the goddess Athena, born fully armed from the forehead of Zeus after he swallowed her mother, NeonFly was nurtured inside of Frederick Thunder’s mind and born from his head all geared up and ready to be plugged in.
Joined by top musicians Tamas Csemez, Paul Miller, Mauricio Chamucero and Patrick Harrington, with influences ranging from 80's Metal to Progressive Rock a 5 track EP was recorded between the months of February and July 2008 that is guaranteed to take the UK metal scene by storm. The EP also features the guest participation of rock legend Tony Mills from TNT (ex-Shy) doing guest vocals on one of the tracks called “Broken Wings”.
NeonFly combines the melodic approach of bands like Helloween, Edguy and Sonata Arctica, with the grandeur of classic bands like Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Van Halen or Iron Maiden, adding progressive touches inspired by bands such as Kansas or Jethro Tull to create a unique, bombastic and powerful sound.
The band’s signature sound is made up of massive choruses, huge orchestral arrangements, scorching guitar riffs, UFO’s in the sky and a touch of humor… Well, maybe more than just a touch…
Ultimately, NeonFly combines the efforts of 5 young and hungry guys ready to tear it up on stage, but don’t take our word for it, come to the shows… THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
The oddly named "Clever Disguise" is a genuinely invigorating display of quality song writing ability and technical vigour, crafting a slick, almost pop-like fusion of fast, pulsating melodic power metal. - POWER PLAY MAGAZINE, MARCH 2008
This may only be five tracks but each of them are perfectly executed with a style that you don’t normally associate with home grown power metal. By far one of the best discs I have heard in a long time and I would suggest that you check them out, the potential here is big, really big. - Stu Occupier - www.metal-rules.com
The arrangements and compositional abilities which Frederick and his cohorts demonstrate here are exciting to hear from a young band and hint at great things to follow - www.komodorock.com
Neonfly are being hailed in some circles as the next big thing on the UK melodic metal scene. - www.musicxtra.net
These guys may be young but they are crafting songs like a band with twice their experience. - 8.5 www.metal-mayhem.co.uk
Do yourselves a favor and buy this amazing EP. - www.harm.us
Listening to a young unsigned band with this potential just makes you wonder what they could achieve with a full production - The Sanctuary (UCL-LSE newspaper)
Rarely does a band’s debut album grip the listener in an inescapable spell from the first notes of the intro to the final song’s fade out. - www.countgore.com
