Styx To Release First Album in 14 Years


Heavy Metal Crowd Styx recently announced they’re planning to release a new album - the first from the classic rock band in over 14 years.

Titled, “The Mission,” the new album will see release on June 16th.

The first single, "Gone Gone Gone", was recently released - listen below:



"The planets truly aligned for 'The Mission', and I couldn't be prouder," says vocalist/guitarist Tommy Shaw, who co-wrote the album's storyline with longtime collaborator Will Evankovich (SHAW/BLADES, THE GUESS WHO). "It's our boldest, most emblematic album since 'Pieces Of Eight'."

As founding guitarist James "JY" Young continues: "In the fourtieth-anniversary year of our release of our biggest selling album of all time, 'Grand Illusion', it just seemed truly appropriate to save our new studio album until this year. Needless to say, I'm very excited."
