Limited Edition Box Set Includes CD And Blu-Ray (With Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround & Hi-Res Stereo Mixes And 4 Promo Videos), Plus Gatefold Green And Black Marble LP With Individual Band Member Prints. Also Includes 12-Page Booklet Featuring Track-By-Track Notes From The Band And Photography Exclusive To This Set. Stygian Waves builds on the impeccable musicianship and 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 and industrial rock to synthwave and hard rock. Recorded primarily in Toronto in 2024 and entirely self-produced, Stygian Waves is the culmination of each member's distinct musical vision, blending haunting melodies, moreish riffs, and richly layered electronic textures into a compelling and 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), and 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, and France's Rock Hard Magazine naming it Album of the Month and praising it's "effective, modern, inspired tracks." The band's playing oozes conviction and class, Lifeson's guitar work more inventive and powerful than ever, but it's the talismanic Maiah Wynne - now hailing from San Francisco - who truly defines Envy of None's sound. With her pensive, deft lyricism and impassioned vocal performance, Wynne pushes Stygian Waves into fresh, mesmerizing territory. The 11 songs on the album mark a significant progression in the band's sound, every song meticulously lasered down to it's most essential and captivating elements. With the band's very own Alf Annibalini on mixing duties, the songs benefit from an intrinsic understanding of their evolution, his involvement in the writing process ensuring the mix truly captures the essence of their vision. Mastering by Harry Hess at HBomb Mastering (Barenaked Ladies, Billy Talent, Big Wreck) completes the album's flawless sound quality. This special limited edition box set includes the album on CD and Blu-ray (with Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround & Hi-res Stereo mixes and 4 promo videos), plus gatefold green & black marble LP with individual band member prints. Also includes a 12-page booklet featuring track-by-track notes from the band and photography exclusive to this set.
