Fony is a band that I have never heard before and their music is usually described as a mix between new metal (the sound of some of the guitars is definitely from this style) and alternative music (there are some Soundgarden and Tool influences here and there that make an interesting mix with the heavier guitar sound). Some tracks like "Nervegas Breakdown are fully modern metal (with some distorted vocals that add a cool vibe. The production is really good and every instrument is clearly mixed giving more impact to the tracks. One thing that I liked of this band are their catchy and melodic choruses which are in fact sang in a deppressive way. A good alternative for people that looks for soemthing different.

Favorite tracks: "Routine Irregular"; "Chore Again" and "Impurity".
