About Styx

Creating and recording new music is often considered the lifeblood of any band—an ethos AOR torchbearers Styx continue to embody with the highly anticipated release of CIRCLING FROM ABOVE, the 18th studio album in their formidable catalog via the band's label, Alpha Dog 2T/UMe. Spanning 13 tracks, the album navigates the complexities of the human experience through the intersecting lenses of technology and nature. CIRCLING FROM ABOVE –hailed by critics as their third 'masterpiece' album in a row, following 2021's CRASH OF THE CROWN and 2017's THE MISSION--features contributions from all seven members of the band, including founding guitarist/vocalist James 'JY' Young (affectionately known as 'The Godfather of Styx'), guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw, original bassist Chuck Panozzo, longtime drummer Todd Sucherman, keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan, guitarist/vocalist Will Evankovich and bassist Terry Gowan.

The seven men comprising Styx have committed to rocking the Paradise together with audiences far and wide, and each one of them is committed to making the next show better than the last. They draw from over five decades of barn burning 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. From the progressively sweeping splendor that is 'The Grand Illusion' to the hunker-down fortitude of all that is the 'Blue Collar Man,' from the majestic spiritual love for a special 'Lady' to the seething indictment of preening, primping pageantry for pageantry's sake of 'Miss America,' from an individual yearning for true connection as a 'Man in the Wilderness' to a soul-deep quest to achieve what's at the heart of one's personal vision in 'Crystal Ball,' from the regal reach-for-the-stars bravado of 'Come Sail Away' to the grainy all-in gallop of that rugged 'Renegade' who had it made, the band draws on an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one's mind and body in their signature sound.
