Created in the year 2000, PHENIX is a heavy-metal band from nearby Montbéliard (France). It is composed of Sébastien TREVE and Olivier GARNIER for guitars, Anthony PHELIPPEAU for bass, Eric BREZARD-OUDOT for drums and Bertrand GRAMOND for vocals. Their originality is the result of a meeting between five different musical sensitivenesses. The music of this line-up is a mix of creation and various influences of the band's members, from IRON MAIDEN to DREAM THEATER, from MANOWAR to Steve VAI. The association of these various musical horizons gives PHENIX a proper atmosphere where powerful riffs meet melodies and arpeggios. The term "Progressive rock" is not so far, even if the band is above all heavy-metal. Encouraged by the favourable reviews earned by the first album "Sacred Fire" (2002), the musicians spent two years of hard work, in order to produce an even better follow-up. And this resulted in the excellent "Wings Of Fire" (2004), once again published by the Brennus label. It noticeably contains the 17 minute-long epic suite "The Quest Goes Ever On... - The Endless Quest Chapter Two".
