SORRY BUT RATES WENT UP ON 5/31 . STYGIAN SHORE  EP put them on the map, which showed promise to this young band at the time. If it weren’t for “The Hook” (guitarist song writer ) losing his arm, they would have went on to be a pretty successful band since they were on the radar of magazines back in the 80’s. For those that have not heard STYGIAN SHORE, they’ve been thought of as MANILLA ROAD’s sister band. They sound like a more commercial sounding MANILLA ROAD, but with also some other more mainstream 70’s Hard Rock influences.  YOU CAN FIND REISSUES OF THE RECORD AND CD BUT NOT THIS ORGINAL EP AND NOT SEALED.   REVIEW  This band was formed in Wichita, Kansas USA in 1982 by three high school friends… The N.W.O.B.H.M. movement was in pandemic proportions in American shores. By 1984, STYGIAN SHORE had attracted a major of local following , leading to their debut vinyl EP, simply entitled “Stygian Shore” released on that band's very own Roadster Records, under the production of MANILLA ROAD’s guitarist Mark Shelton. STYGIAN SHORE was very well received on the metal scene in the early 80’s rapidly rising to the top of the underground circuit with their sound and their energetic stage show. The “Stygian Shore”EP was released in the spring of 1984 and received rave reviews from all the contemporaries at the time including Hit Parader magazine where they were cited as being the next big thing. An American mini tour was even scheduled to promote the release .STYGIAN SHORE’s guys continued to play live shows for several years afterward, but never got past the local scene and recorded the following in 1989 "The Shore Will Arise'', again carefully produced by Shelton, this album remains unreleased until in 2007 when  Shadow Kingdom Records  released it properly. It happens that the first album ever released by Shadow Kingdom Records was “The Shore Will Arise” and now the 100th catalog release is STYGIAN SHORE again… Going back to full circle.Here is a short analysis for “Stygian Shore”, the first EP that put them on the map, which showed promise to this young band at the time. Review wise the music itself… Despite their mythological moniker, STYGIAN SHORE was less Doomy or Epic than MANILLA ROAD, much more Melodic. The Shore Will Arise” is indeed firmly entrenched in the underground 80's scheme, the comparisons with MANILLA ROAD is misleading somewhat the band is a bit more traditional/upbeat, yet still Heavy Metal at its core, but with also some mainstream 70’s Hard Rock influences.
