No, it is not after the band! My mind tends to wonder to darker, more morbid thoughts. But I didn't want to call myself Death, or anything like that. I do have a mild interest in Greek mythology, and liked the idea of going by Charon, the ferryman, but decided to use Styx instead. It is the most commonly named river when desribing Hades, it is also associated with darker morbid thoughts, and it does roll off the tongue beter than Charon does. I also use this handle on other sites.
