Project Fenyx is a group of Epic Metal, from Venezuela. They emerged around 2003, at the beginning of the year, they are characterized by recording only acoustic songs because they lack instruments, however, their productions fall within the category of Heavy Metal and sometimes in the realm of Trova. They are known for being the only Epic Metal group from Tinaquillo, although this does not prevent them from experimenting in other genres such as Punk and alternative.

History
Project Fenyx was formed in 2003, it was founded by Gabriel Baute and was born as an alternative rock and trova project. Initially, only Gabriel and Francisco were present, the former being the most radical in genre, practiced a much more acidic and heavy Rock, inspired by bands like Metallica, Blind Guardian and Led Zeppelin, the main influences of the group. The first productions only featured an acoustic guitar and vocals. They only met to enjoy, reading some books and playing cards, and from there they created their songs, the first name they conceived was Gil-Ürth, an elvish word meaning Dead Star or Death Star (the translation allows both terms), only Francisco and Gabriel were initially in Gil-Ürth, the music was softer, the five “Untitled Songs” stand out from this era, as almost no song had a name, and the classic “Promise me”. It was a fruitful time as they managed to produce two albums: Barcode and Black Border. By the time Jhon Jairo joined the project, it had already changed its name to AOS, that is, Angels of Darkness; the objective of all this was to have a good time and have fun bringing out some songs, that is still partly the objective, but AOS only produced a single song, and this is considered the Anthem of the Project so far: Dark Dusk.

From then on they would call themselves Phoenix, an allusion to the trio's habit of rehearsing one day and disappearing for a whole month (and sometimes for longer), then they would meet (almost by chance) and without thinking twice a new theme would come out, just like the Phoenix, which dies and is reborn from its ashes, although in our case it happens less frequently; thus arose “Phoenix”, the second great song, here the trend towards Epic Metal that is evident in the album “Dark Dusk” begins to be seen, this facet would continue to develop further and would lead to the “Quenta Tabernillion”, one of the best productions of the group, but the epic facet of the project would reach its peak with the album “Ninraeth Arnoediad”, considered by the rock community of Tinaquillo as the best production of the group. By this time the group had defined itself, now absolutely, as an Epic Metal group, and later they changed their name to the current: Project Phoenix. However, only two more albums came out: a compilation (Phoenix Bird) and a small live (Fényx Revolution). The rest have been singles and projects, among these latter two stand out: the Tribute to Blind Guardian (Tales from a Twilight World) and the Metal Opera, which is currently being worked on.
