Review: Fony is a nice and fresh surprise for Tempest and I am happy they have sent all their releases, that way I can make myself an impression on their trajectory as a band. this is their debut album composed of 12 very different and also very catchy tracks. Their music ranges from alternative metal, to hardcore, to nu-metal, to metalcore, being so varied that it will make you listen carefully not knowing what will follow next. I would say they are a combination of those American MTV trendy metal bands and the underground hardcore/nu-metal scene and as I see they like it that way, sometimes quite emotional and sometimes really aggressive. I thought of a track that can be my fave on this album, but honestly I like 'em all the same and this is certainly an album that will hit my player again a lot of times. The production is faultless, the cover is great, the sound as well, what can I say more? I like it a lot.
