To celebrate the release of Envy Of None’s new album Stygian Wavz today, Gibson has created an Envy of None custom Epiphone Les Paul Special II adorned with the striking Stygian Wavz album artwork in full detail. This exclusive, one-of-a-kind guitar has been signed by all four band members – Alex Lifeson, Andy Curran, Maiah Wynne & Alfio Annibalini.
Fans have a chance to win this exceptional, collector’s edition Epiphone guitar by purchasing Stygian Wavz directly from the band's official store at https://envyofnone.com/win/
Each purchase of the new album, in any format, counts as one entry into the competition. The competition will close at 11:59pm EST on Friday 18th April and the winner will be chosen at random and notified shortly afterwards.
The highly anticipated second album from Canadian/American four-piece Envy Of None is out today. Titled Stygian Wavz, the album draws its name from the work of the Roman poet Ovid who spoke of “Stygian waves and turbulence at the gates of hell” – a metaphor for the struggles and hardships we face. Following a recent string of standout single releases and stunning music videos, the band are excited to finally be able to share the album in its entirety and bring their full creative vision to life.
I loved all the quality building materials that arrived from my partners and enjoyed cementing each board and brick of an idea into 11 unique rooms within a most beautiful abode. I would encourage you to stroll slowly and repeatedly through each of these rooms, drinking in the colours, gazing at the vistas and feeling the warm wash of sensory vibration. Within these rooms, we have built a place for you, our cordial guest, to relax and open your heart and mind in the comfort of our beloved home.
Welcome, friend.
Alex Lifeson
Though they’d never describe themselves as such, Envy Of None are the living, breathing definition of a supergroup. No other band on earth could rightly claim to have Alex Lifeson – one of rock’s most influential visionaries – heading up guitar duties, with Andy Curran of Coney Hatch and Soho 69 overseeing bass/programming as well as producer extraordinaire Alfio Annibalini on keyboards. However, the star in this band could very well be its youngest member – American singer-songwriter Maiah Wynne – whose wonderfully emotive vocals are able to spin the music in new exciting directions that thrill to the core.
Pressestimmen zu "Stygian Wavz":
Audio/Stereoplay 4/5: "Es war wirklich ein cleverer Schachzug, die junge Künstlerin für Envy Of None zu gewinnen, denn ihre sanfte, aber bestimmte Stimme verschönert die Songs erheblich. Und so hören wir ein straffes Album, teils mit Computer-Schlagzeug, das sicherlich viel mehr Leute ansprechen wird als nur die Rush-Fans."
Legacy 14/15 (Tipp!): "Dieses Werk ist mitreißend, liebenswert und uneingeschränkt beeindruckend."
Rock Hard 8/10: "Einschließlich ihrer beschwingten Grundstimmung und leicht zugänglichen Melodien erinnert die Platte an ein 2025er Update der Musik eher atmosphärisch ausgerichteter Neunziger-Industrial-Acts wie Stabbing Westward oder Machines Of Loving Grace mit markanter Frauenstimme; auf alle Fälle wieder ein Kopfhörererlebnis, dessen Langzeitwirkung aber noch erprobt werden will."
Classic Rock 8/10: "Völlig laid back, umspült von warmen Wellen des Wohlklangs, der verdammt ausgewogen komponiert und arrangiert ist. ….. Wenn drei gut abgehangene und ausgebuffte Rockmusikprofis eher durch eine Art glückliche Fügung eine junge Sängerin für ihre Band ins Boot holen und dann so eine Harmoniebombe dabei heraus kommt, muss das ganz von oben so gewollt sein. … STYGIAN WAVES ist kein Classic Rock, sondern eher Future Rock, genau die richtige Therapie in der Kakophonie der Worst Case-Nachrichten…."
Metal Hammer 5/7: "…ein modernes, überwiegend melancholisches und auf bemerkenswerte Weise hypnotisches Werk, das erstaunliche Soundtrack-Qualitäten besitzt und mit dem fesselnden Opener ‘Not Dead Yet’, dem betörenden ‘New Trip’ und dem orientgetränkten Titel- Track seine Höhepunkte hat."
Sonic Seducer: "Stygian Wavz" ist nicht nur eine Sammlung brillanter Songs, sondern ein Gesamtkunstwerk, das lange nachhallt. Fazit: Envy Of None liefern mit „Stygian Wavz" ein Album ab, das musikalisch ebenso innovativ wie emotional berührend ist. Ein absolutes Must-Listen für alle, die Musik mit Tiefe und Raffinesse schätzen."
“Stygian Wavz is a rock masterpiece”
