STYX - Harmony. Chemistry. Balance. Grit. Dexterity. Determination. Solidarity. Terms that describe a Super Bowl champion? Well, almost. These are words that define the core essence of Styx, the multimegamillion-selling rock band that has forged an indelible legacy both on record and onstage.
Styx draws from over four decades of barnburning chart hits, joyous singalongs, and hard-driving deep cuts. Like a symphony that builds to a satisfying crescendo, a Styx set covers a wide range of stylistic cornerstones.
The six men comprising Styx have committed to rocking the Paradise together with audiences far and wide by entering their second decade of averaging over 100 shows a year, and each one of them is committed to making the next show better than the last.

May 28, 2025 - Creating and recording new music is often considered the lifeblood of any band - an ethos AOR torchbearers Styx continue to embody with the release of Circling From Above, the 18th studio album in their formidable catalog. Spanning 13 tracks, the album navigates the complexities of the human experience through the intersecting lenses of technology and nature.
The album, the band's third in eight years, delivers a 41-minute, end-to-end listening experience that is both thought-provoking and exhilarating. A masterclass in storytelling, it blends signature Styx hallmarks with bold steps forward - building on the creative momentum of recent releases The Mission (2017) and Crash of the Crown (2021).
Driven by the kinetic energy of lead single "Build and Destroy," the album is immediately available to fans at StyxWorld.com, the Universal Music Webstore and all tour stops of Styx's "Brotherhood of Rock" tour, which kicks off tonight in Greenville, S.C. The album’s official public release date is set for July 18.
Styx has remained a touring juggernaut for the past 25 years, but according to guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw, the band's current streak of artistic resurgence in the studio is due to multiple factors tethered to a deep sense of harmony.
"There's just a lot of positive flow right now," says Shaw. "There's a lot of people playing great, and there's a lot of love, respect and excitement about each other's talents. Bands can go lifetimes and never have this kind of rapport and chemistry."
Circling From Above features contributions from all seven members of the band, including founding guitarist/vocalist James "J" Young (affectionately known as "The Godfather of Styx"), Shaw, original bassist Chuck Panozzo, drummer Todd Sucherman, keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan, and newest members Will Evankovich (guitars and vocals) and Terry Gowan (bass).
The album was produced by Evankovich, who also helmed the band’s previous two records before becoming an official member. All 13 songs were penned in various combinations by the band's songwriting triumvirate of Shaw, Evankovich and Lawrence Gowan. Referencing the trio's creative spark, Lawrence Gowan says it’s not a simple case of majority rules but rather a true collaborative endeavor.
"I've noticed over the last three records, there's a real effort to make sure everyone’s got a smile on their face at the end of it,†he says. "There's creative friction, but everybody gets a go around the table and we all get a swing at the tree. And that’s really, really good."
"It's a strange three-way democracy for sure," Evankovich says. "We all know that the institution of Styx is the most important thing."
Circling From Above is a dynamic collection that reflects the full emotional and stylistic range of the Styx canon. It's muscular yet introspective, theatrical in moments and layered in sincerity at others - balancing progressive leanings with deeper, thought-provoking messages.
Fans will discover no shortage of standout tracks on Circling From Above, a handful of which could end up as singles or be prime candidates for inclusion in an expanded live set once the "Brotherhood of Rock" tour — during which Styx will be playing "The Grand Illusion" album in full |
