Styx's Journey Through the '90s: Challenges, Evolution, and Resurgence
Styx faced challenges in the early '90s when they attempted to continue without Tommy Shaw. The changing music landscape, with the rise of grunge, led to the band losing their record deal and ultimately breaking up. A lost album, known as Son of Edge or Edge of the Century II, was recorded but never released due to the shifting industry trends and the band's dissolution. Despite setbacks, Styx regrouped in the late '90s with Shaw's return and released new music, including tracks like "It Takes Love" and "Little Suzie." The band's sound evolved over the years, with former members like Glen Burtnik exploring different musical directions. DeYoung reflected on this era and hinted at an upcoming autobiography that will delve into these tumultuous times.
