Three
years after the EP 'Clever
Disguise', comes Neonfly’s
debut full-length release 'Outshine the Sun'. Neonfly
are a London-based Power metal, melodic metal band.
The song 'Broken Wings' is the mega
catchy start to the album, and as you listen, you know you are in for a
treat, this is Power metal
at its very best . 'The
Enemy' is delivered by new vocalist Will Norton, with such ferocious and
melodic tones, you can’t but help keep replaying this track.
Will Norton has to be one of the best Melodic vocalists to have graced a
stage in a very long time. 'Ship
with No Sails' is a beautifully constructed
track, a fine ballad. The band then step up a gear with 'A Gift To
Remember', amazing vocals and procession guitar totally brilliant
playing with a sing-along chorus. Next
up is a haunting number 'The Revenant', the lyrics are out of this world
… The excellent instrumental 'The
Ornament' is kind of mesmerizing. I am not
a big fan of instrumentals myself,
but that said, I really enjoyed this one! 'Reality
Shift' is a powerful song, storming out of your speakers, then
bludgeoning you!!!!!
'Spitting
Blood' is a vicious, in your face
number. The guitar playing at the end is pretty damn special, turn
it up to eleven if you haven`t
already!!!! Love
the intro to 'Morning Star' and this track has to be my favourite song
on this amazing album. This song has it all, top notch guitar
solos and another track with a killer chorus and a killer finish with
amazing backing vocals. 'The
Messenger' starts in a dramatic
fashion, then slows down into
ballad territory, then speeds up totally with some super frenetic
guitar playing. A totally immense track. 'I
Think I Saw A UFO' is a
fun track to end a totally awesome album! If
you love metal with an edge then this
is the album for you. Yes it has some slower numbers, but don’t
let that deter you from giving this album a listen, time and time
again!. Neonfly’s shows have included playing at Bloodstock and SOS festival. Their live performances are phenomenal, as is this great Album. Review
