\"gygax\"<\/a>Gypsyhawk<\/strong> was without a doubt one of my favorite bands but when the band just seemed to fall apart at the seems sometime in 2014.\u00a0 The band put out two amazing albums and even managed to record a 3rd album that never saw the light of day.\u00a0 While the old saying, “All good things must come to an end” definitely applied here, it was still a sad time nonetheless to see a band that had so much potential and promise just dissolve from the stress of tour life, self destructiveness, and an industry that failed them time and time again.\u00a0 No grandiose final show was had, no huge announcement was made, and not even a White Wizzard style shit show was had.\u00a0 Gypsyhawk<\/strong> went out with not even a flutter and they were gone as quick as they arrived.<\/p>\n

The silence was broken this August though when former Gypsyhawk<\/strong> bassist\/leader Eric Harris returned with a brand new band: Gygax<\/p>\n

Harris spoke with Metal Assault recently and when asked about how Gygax<\/strong> came about he had this to say:<\/p>\n

“Well, I moved to Ventura about a year ago, and after Gyspyhawk was done, I didn\u2019t even want to play music, but after I gave it a few months I realized that I really do have to play music because that\u2019s just the way of my world. So, I already had Bryant with me, and then we met this other dude in town, Armand. We found him and it turns out he also loves Thin Lizzy, so we started jamming together and it was an instant connection. He\u2019s not only a badass guitarist but he can play drums super-groove style, kind of like the Thin Lizzy thing. I had an old idea for Gypsyhawk, of writing about fantasy and stuff like that. I wanted to market it like that. I wanted to do what we were doing but put a gimmicky thing on it, medieval fantasty and imagination. So, that\u2019s basically Gygax. It ain\u2019t nothing but a thing!”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 – See more at Metal Assault<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n
