In the end, "Metal Music Best Single of the Year" was won by Instinct of Sight "White and Black". Vocalist A Bao said on the stage, "Thanks to myself for working hard on music, and thanks to music for having a group of people around me who are like family members."

The first "Future Music Selection TONE Music Awards" came to a successful conclusion: defining a new dimension of Hong Kong music with diverse music styles
The first "TONE Music Awards", hosted by Hong Kong independent music platform TONE Music, is an awards ceremony with the core concept of "creator-led". It aims to break the commercial framework of traditional music awards and redefine the diverse value of local music through 7 major music category awards and a national participation mechanism, building a freer dialogue platform for music fans and creators.
The innovative spirit of TONE Music Awards
Creation-led, public participation
Different from the commercial orientation of mainstream award ceremonies, TONE Music emphasizes "music defined by musicians". The award mechanism combines public voting with professional judging. For example, the "Hong Kong Music Annual Top Ten" accumulates the shortlist through seasonal selection and voting, while the "UNISON Joint Award" is judged by university students, reflecting a cross-generational and cross-circle dialogue.

Instinct of Sight was founded in 2014 and has been around for 10 years. With post-hardcore as its foundation, it skillfully combines screaming vocals with complex arrangements. The band has gone through member changes and international music festivals (Taiwan Wake Up Festival, Hong Kong Clockenflap, wow and flutter, etc., and is a frequent performer at major music festivals). Instinct of Sight has always insisted on independent creation, doing everything from composing lyrics and music to visual presentation of music videos.
The award for "White and Black" is not only a recognition of his investment in music, but also marks a breakthrough for Hong Kong metal music in the mainstream vision, looking forward to the infinite possibilities of future music. TONE Music said that it will continue to expand the international visibility of the award in the future, and deepen cooperation with universities and independent venues to promote the "music genre award" to become a benchmark for creators.
Just as emcees Ke Weilin and Sham Ka-chi said at the opening: “Music should not be categorized, but it can be redefined.” This ceremony is the starting point for Hong Kong music to move towards the “future”.
