STYGIA Seek Keyboardist
November 3, 2008, 16 years ago
Boston-based progressive metallers STYGIA have issued the following update:
"Hello!Unfortunately Mike Pinnella (SYMPHONY X) cannot record keyboards until February due to a busy schedule. I'm forced to seek another keyboardist as this is too long to wait and will delay the album recording.
Any keyboardists interested in recording on the Stygia album should send a photo and some demos to stygiaband@gmail.com. I intend to capture a similar vibe of keyboardists Richard Andersson, Jens Johansson, Vitalij Kuprij, Michael Pinnella, Mats Olausson, Jordan Rudess, Derek Sherinian, etc... Solos are a must along with great atmosphere for backing keys. It's also necessary you have a way of recording yourself unless you are close to the Boston area.
The official album lineup is as follows:
Vocals: Mike Vescera (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, LOUDNESS, OBSESSION)
Bass Guitar: Michael LePond (Symphony X)
Guitars: Todd Seitz (Stygia composer)
Drums: John Macaluso (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, TNT, ARK)
Guest Solo contributed by Hank Shermann (MERCYFUL FATE, FORCE OF EVIL,DEMONICA)
All musicians mentioned have already completed recordings or are currently active in doing so."
As previously reported, Stygia's new album will be called Divine Allegiance. Further updates to follow.
