The
classic rock band Styx have been creating exciting new music for over
four decades and they are preparing to release their 16th album, "The
Mission" on June 16. It has been 12 years since their last studio album and in
that time, they have toured the world numerous times, absorbing what the
fans are looking for with new Styx music and they certainly deliver it on "The
Mission."
The
album begins with the signature Styx "Overture" that will certainly get
the listener excited for what's to come. Tommy Shaw's guitar comes out
blazing for the intense, pick-up of "Gone, Gone, Gone" as you prepare to
blast off with that classic Styx harmonies. The concept of the album is
space travel with songs like "One Million Miles" and "The Red Storm"
you get swept up in the outstanding musicianship that Styx deliver in
every piece of music they produce. If this album feels like a nostalgic
trip, then you won't want to get off the ride, as songs like "Locomotive" and "The
Outpost" are some of the best the band has written in decades. They
finish their new album with the piano piece "Khedive" and the up-tempo
swing of "Mission To Mars" to close out your journey.
Styx will be kicking off their U.S. tour on June 9th in Lincoln, NE and runs all summer long into September. For a complete list of shows and to find out more about their new album "The Mission," please visit styxworld.com.
