Gygax Debut New Single "The Lascivious Underdark"

Ventura, California fantasy metal/rock outfit Gygax has premiered "The Lascivious Underdark" - the lead single from their impending second album, Second Edition, streaming below.

Gygax picks up where their 2016-released Critical Hits debut left off. The eight tracks that comprise Second Edition showcase Gygax's unrivaled and potent tendency to create absolutely anthemic rock 'n' roll hits, chock-full of hip shakin' grooves and twin guitar explosions that would make Thin Lizzy shed a tear of pride. Second Edition was recorded in November of 2017 with Scott Goodrich at Nu-Tone Studios in Pittsburgh, California, and features the always incredible artwork of Fares Maese.

Gygax Scores A "Critical Hit"

"Critical Hits," the debut LP from Ventura, California's ex-Gypsyhawk ragers Gygax is out this week through Creator-Destructor Records, and in celebration, the entire album has been unleashed upon the masses early.

Picking up where Gypsyhawk left off, the band's sound is rooted in the musical stylings of metallic '70s rockers Thin Lizzy and Deep Purple, with equal parts metal and boogie-inducing groove.

Gygax Releasing "Critical Hits"

Creator-Destructor Records is ultra-stoked to announce the impending release of "Critical Hits," the debut LP by California-based quartet Gygax. Check out new track "Draw Breath" below.

Gygax is a no-frills, classic rock/heavy metal hybrid, heavily steeped in the imagery of fantasy literature and role playing games, and rooted in the musical stylings of metallic '70s rockers Thin Lizzy and Deep Purple, with equal parts metal and boogie-inducing groove.

Though the name is attributed to the creator of Dungeons & Dragons, the band has described itself more simply as "a beacon and an anthem for anyone who's interests lie in creativity and the powers of imagination."

Hailing from Ventura, California, Gygax was born out of the ashes of vocalist/bassist Eric Harris' previous heavy-metal brainchild, Gypsyhawk, whose "Patience & Perseverance" 2xLP also saw release through Creator-Destructor in 2009. Bryant Throckmorton, who played second guitar in Gypsyhawk also joins Harris in Gygax on guitar.
