"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.
With the band moniker residing as a tribute to the creator of Dungeons & Dragons, Gygax delivers a straightforward but triumphant hybrid of classic rock and heavy metal, heavily steeped in the imagery of fantasy literature and role playing games. 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.
