Description
Release: 04-04-2025 (offically 28/03)
‘Stygian Waves’ builds on the impeccable musicianship & stellar songwriting of Envy of None’s eponymous, acclaimed 2022 debut. With this new album, the Canadian-American supergroup boldly ventures into a spectrum of new guises – from alt-pop & industrial rock to synthwave & hard rock. Recorded primarily in Toronto in 2024 & entirely self-produced, ‘Stygian Waves’ is the culmination of each member’s distinct musical vision, blending haunting melodies, moreish riffs & richly layered electronic textures into a compelling & unique sound.
There was a palpable sense of anticipation in the air when Envy of None announced their debut in 2022. After all, it marked the first full-band project from world-renowned guitarist Alex Lifeson since his groundbreaking work with the legendary prog-rock trio Rush. Lifeson joined forces with a remarkable lineup: rising star Maiah Wynne on vocals, esteemed producer Alfio Annibalini (guitar, keyboards), Coney Hatch’s Andy Curran (bass, programming, guitar) & features Canadian session legend Randy Cooke (Mick Jagger, Alanis Morisette, Kelly Clarkson) on drums. Their debut exceeded expectations, with Record Collector describing it as “”rich in creativity”” in a 4-star review & France’s Rock Hard Magazine naming it Album of the Month & praising its “”effective, modern, inspired tracks.”
