A Rock Masterpiece Lands in 2025
Styx have unleashed their 18th studio album, Circling from Above, a sonic triumph released on July 18, 2025, via Alpha Dog 2T/UMe. This 2025 release spans 13 tracks, blending progressive rock with introspective themes, as highlighted on styxworld.com. Fans are raving about the album’s dynamic range, from the kinetic “Build and Destroy” to the title track’s soaring melodies. It’s a bold step forward for the legendary band, cementing their legacy after 50+ years.
Tracklist and Creative Fire
The album features contributions from all seven Styx members, including Tommy Shaw, Lawrence Gowan, and new addition Will Evankovich. The 41-minute journey includes hits like “Michigan” and “Blue Eyed Raven,” penned by the songwriting trio of Shaw, Evankovich, and Gowan. Produced by Evankovich, it builds on the success of The Mission (2017) and Crash of the Crown (2021), earning praise as a “masterpiece” (per udiscovermusic.com). The thematic nod to abandoned satellites and nature’s resilience adds depth, reflected in the striking cover art.
Fan Frenzy and Tour Buzz
Since its drop, Circling from Above has sparked a frenzy on socails, with fans calling it Styx’s finest work yet. The Brotherhood of Rock tour, kicking off May 28, 2025, with The Kevin Cronin Band and Don Felder, brings the album to life, including stops like Cleveland and Toronto. Tickets and VIP packages are live on livenation.com. Catch Styx headlining “Rockin’ in Paradise” in Miramar Beach October 9-11, 2025, for a full concert experience.
