Styx have announced their 18th studio album, Circling From Above, is due for release on July 18th 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.
Styx's Tommy Shaw, Lawrence Gowan and Will Evankovich made the announcement on TalkShop.live.
While the album won't be available on streaming or digital outlets until July 18th, Circling From Above CDs and vinyl copies are available to purchase on StyxWorld.com. They will also be available at every show of Styx's Brotherhood of Rock tour with The Kevin Cronin Band.
Circling From Above features contributions from all seven members of the band, including founding guitarist/vocalist James "JY" Young, guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw, original bassist Chuck Panozzo, longtime drummer Todd Sucherman, keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan, guitarist/vocalist Will Evankovich and bassist Terry Gowan.
"When you start writing an album, there's generally something that piques your imagination, and all of a sudden, you're a storyteller starting with the seed of a story," says Shaw. "A good song is like a straight road — it'll get you to the next place."
The 13-track, 41-minute album is the band's third in eight years.
The album was produced by Evankovich. All songs were penned in various combinations by the band's songwriting triumvirate of Shaw, Evankovich and Lawrence Gowan. The upcoming album's lead single 'Build and Destroy' is available to stream and download on all digital outlets, including the band's YouTube page.
