Styx has offered up their latest single “Radio Silence.” The track is pulled from the band’s newest release The Mission, which is currently in the pre-sale promo push. The new album puts an end to a 14-year gap between full-length studio collections and is set to drop on June 16. Lead guitarist Tommy Shaw spoke on the track and notes that he was largely inspired by prog-rock for the track: “I loved Alan Parsons and the people who made records like that where there was a lot of stuff going on, [like] Pink Floyd and [others],” he explained. “I could not wait to go home and smoke a little bud, put those headphones on and just take a trip. A trip that I was part of. You know, I had kind of orchestrated what I could do to make it interesting when you had the headphones on. That was very important to us to do that on this record. There is a 5.1 surround mix of this record that is really something – I mean, if you think this is a trip, then that’s the one.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
