Zyglrox: New album Stoic out 7/28
“I actually wasn’t planning on writing this album at all,” said
SLC producer/musician Zyglrox. "I was working on a handful of songs and ideas to stretch the creative muscles, but I wasn’t feeling a lot of attachment to the material, and I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do moving forward musically (from my last albums). Somewhere down the line, I was sitting down to start a new song, and decided to name it 'Stoic' and everything just clicked.” One part mystery, one part intrigue and one part thrashing metal all culminate in
Stoic, a listening experience that will keep you guessing—in the best way possible. As the album progresses, you’ll be like a kid in a candy shop, excited to see what’s next. It’s extremely well-produced and has a level of polish that anyone can appreciate, from connoisseurs to casual listeners.
This is a special project according to Zyglrox, and that comes through. “Stoicism has been something I’ve been studying for many years, so for me, that was a major epiphany moment. It was the spark that started the engine of this project. Everything about the idea and concept just felt right, and I am proud to say this is the next chapter of my musical journey,” he said. “I write music for myself, but I would hope that
Stoic can serve as an inspiration piece for the listener. Whether that means the listener feels inspired to create, inspired to build themselves, or inspired to be in control of their life.”
Stoic is out everywhere July 28.
