About Me

Stygian was born in 1999 when Frank, Steve, and Mike met in school. Their first effort as a group was to learn as many Metallica songs as possible. After two years of covering Metallica, while giving their friends a good show, they pulled together their artistic talent and began to write original music. Stygian wrote, rehearsed, and refined their sound before they launched the new material live. Ed Sobon joined the band in the fall of 2003. Sobon was the final gear that needed to fall in place as they developed into a solid machine of hard driving sound. Since then, Stygian has performed in shows all over the Philadelphia area and beyond. With more live shows in the Philadelphia region, people starting to take notice, and their fan base grew . . . and keeps growing. Stygian released their debut album "Struggle" in the fall of 2006, receiving a global response. Through the power of the internet (myspace, stygianrock.com, and I-tunes ), they have sold over a thousand copies to loyal fans all over the world. They have been discovered by fans in the U.K., Australia, Denmark, Mexico, and beyond. Their live videos showcase their tight playing style, their love for the audience, and dedication to their fans. Stygian has headlined major venues and opened for national acts like Drowning Pool, SOil and Symphony X. They will continue to pound out solid hard rock until they are signed, and forever onward! Look for them in your town soon ~
