The new album, Circling From Above (their 18th studio album and third since 2017), is a masterclass in songwriting and showcases their timeless ability to fuse prog rock technicality with sing-along anthems. The 13 songs were written by Tommy Shaw, Lawrence Gowan and Will Evankovich (who also produced the album). Leading with the single, "Build and Destroy," Styx take a close look at the near future and what is circling above us, from satellites to birds.
