Stryper\u2019s latest studio effort consists of 12 songs showcasing the  musicianship that has garnered them a huge fan base in the mainstream  world and Christian market for three full decades. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We are truly blessed to still be making music 32 years into our  careers, music that relates and speaks to our fans worldwide,\u201d says  frontman and album producer, Michael Sweet. \u201cWe strive to outdo  ourselves with each release and hopefully we&#8217;ve done that with Fallen.  Here&#8217;s to 32 more years!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> 32 years after exploding onto the rock scene \u2013 and MTV \u2013 Stryper has  delivered their most critically acclaimed release to date. The  Associated Press recently decreed, &#8220;If this were 1986, this album would  easily sell 2 million copies. But it&#8217;s not, and that&#8217;s a shame, because 2  million people need to hear how good this album is.&#8221; Metal Onslaught  Magazine recently raved in their first ever 10 out of 10 review, \u201cLike a  fine wine Stryper have improved over time and have become legends in  the metal genre,\u201d and CCM Magazine declared, \u201cArguably the most  game-changing Christian rock band in history, Stryper continues to excel  with a steady stream of new music that fits right alongside a ten  million-album selling catalogue.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> The music<a class=\"keufuejk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mi2n.com\/press.php3?press_nb=187370#65172068\" title=\"Click to Continue &gt; by DNSUnlocker\"> video<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdncache-a.akamaihd.net\/items\/it\/img\/arrow-10x10.png\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> for the single, \u201cPride,\u201d premiered exclusively at Billboard.com and can  be seen here:  http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/columns\/rock\/6730798\/stryper-pride-video-premiere-fallen-album-exclusive<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.frontiers.it\/var\/upload\/albums\/album_cover_STRYPER%20fallen%20COVER_55c1f26da0588.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"213\" height=\"188\" \/><\/p>\n<p> Stryper is one of the top Christian rock bands of all time. Rocking  since 1984, the band is responsible for such &#8217;80s metal classic albums  as Soldiers Under Command, To Hell With The Devil and In God We Trust.  In fact, Stryper is the first band to ever have two songs in MTV\u2019s Top  10 simultaneously with their hits \u201cFree\u201d and \u201cHonestly.\u201d After a  sabbatical for much of the 1990&#8217;s, Stryper returned strong in the early  21st century. To date, the Dove Award-winning and Grammy nominated band  has sold over 10 million records worldwide. <\/p>\n<p> Unlike many of their counterparts, Stryper is comprised of all four  original members with Michael Sweet on vocals and guitar, Oz Fox on  guitar, Tim Gaines on bass and Robert Sweet on drums. <\/p>\n<p> Source: www.stryper.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the October 16th release of their ninth studio album, Fallen, Stryper continues to dominate&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5707\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
