Black vinyl with gatefold cover

Stryper’s 2025 effort, When We Were Kings, proves that this band are still able to balance perfectly between melodic music, heavy and relentless music and their Christian message. The band still relies on the locomotive propulsion of Robert Sweet’s drumming, the operatic metal of Michael Sweet’s vocals and the furious attack of Oz Fox and Michael’s guitar work (including lots of the signature Stryper harmony soloing), and the dependable and often stand-out bass work of Perry Richardson. You can call this band what you will but the truth is, Michael Sweet really knows how to construct a song with a classic verse, chorus, verse format and irresistible hooks. The fact that these four men really know how to rock puts a raucous edge to the whole affair, giving every Stryper song an energy, passion, hope, and fire that you seldom find in the often-dark world of metal bands. Crank up your royal stereo and hail the king.
