context_page_description: Neonfly is a British metal band who have released the albums 2011’s Outshine The Sun and Strangers In Paradise. Their third album, The Future, Tonight, will be released in 2020.
context_section_description: Created in 2008, the brainchild of guitarist and composer Frederick Thunder, 
  Neonfly originally consisted of:
  Frederick Thunder- guitar
  Tamas Csemez - vocals
  Paul Miller - bass, background/growl vocals
  Patrick Harrington - guitar
  Boris Le Gal – drums
  The band’s first EP Clever Disguise, released in 2008 and featuring backing vocals from ex-Shy/TNT vocalist Tony Mills, was critically well received by the press and underground metal community alike. The band opened for Power Quest, Adagio and To-Mera in support of the EP, as well as performing at several European festivals 2009–10.
  UK tours followed in 2010 with the band opening for H.E.A.T., Arthemis and Freedom Call. Tour highlights included a set on the New Blood Stage at Bloodstock Open Air Festival where they debuted new Irish singer Willy Norton. Norton replaced original singer, Tamas Csemez after an amicable split, and gave his first performance with the band with just one week’s preparation.
  The band’s Bloodstock performance resulted in an invitation to feature their track "Ship With No Sails" on the video game Rock Band 3.
