STRYPER RELEASE NEW SINGLE + MUSIC VIDEO “SAME OLD STORY”
FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL TO RELEASE FULL-LENGTH ALBUM THE FINAL BATTLE ON OCTOBER 21
Stryper has released a fourth track from their upcoming album, and second music video, “Same Old Story”.
The Final BattleΒ was crafted during the most challenging time of the band’s career. Rather than let the adversity get them down, Stryper accepted these challenges and channeled it into writing some of the greatest songs of their storied career.
One of those great songs is the bandβs latest single βTransgressorβ off of The Final Battle. When asked about this new single StryperΒ front manΒ Michael Sweet said, β’Transgressor’ is a ride like no other. You take off at 100 MPH and it doesnβt let up until the very last note. Itβs definitely one of our heaviest songs yet we wanted to incorporate melody and structure. Weβre really excited about this one and we canβt wait to perform it live!β
When it comes to groundbreaking bands in the metal genre, Stryper is renowned for their distinctive brand of βheavenly metal,β extraordinary crossover success, and venerable endurance. The group ascended to prominence in the 1980s with Billboard Top 40 hits like βCalling on You”, βHonestly”, and βAlways There for Youβ and has maintained a global fan base since.
Stryperβs career album sales exceed 10 million worldwide, including 1986βs multi-platinum release ‘To Hell with the Devil’. The band also made history when it notched two songs simultaneously on MTVβs Top 10 with videos βFreeβ and βHonestly”.
While Stryper is known for their Christian faith, their decades plus career in heavy metal has made them much more than just a βChristian metalβ band. Sure, that is part of who they are, but at the end of the day, they are simply a long-running and well-respectedΒ heavy metal band with a late-career rebirth that has proved their enduring talent and musical skills are well intact.
Some 37+ years after emerging from the southern California nightclub scene, Stryper continues to record, tour and perform for loyal fans around the globe. With three original members including brothers Michael Sweet (lead vocals, guitar) and Robert Sweet (drums), Oz Fox (guitar) and newest bandmate, seasoned bassist Perry Richardson (formerly of Firehouse), the group finds itself creating their finest, most powerful music yet.
