Styx fans will love this.
The first tune from Dennis DeYoung’s upcoming, and final, album is “Isle of Misanthrope”.
The former Styx keyboardist and songwriter says the tune is his way of trying to explain “the exasperating and confounding nature of mankind through metaphor.”
DeYoung says the song harkens back to “the days of Styx’s Equinox and Suite Madame Blue.”
Look for DeYoung’s forthcoming album, “26 East, Vol. 2″ on June 11. It includes an appearance by Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello and 5 songs co-written by Survivor founder Jim Peterik.
