STRYPER Frontman Says New Album Will Show A Completely Different Side To Band

February 12, 2010

Guitarist/vocalist Michael Sweet of Christian hard rockers STRYPER has issued the following update:

"Wow! Typically (and historically) speaking, a new STRYPER record comes out every 2-3 years.

"I'm pleased to announce shocking news — we are starting pre-production at the end of February (of this year) and we begin recording the second week of March (of this year)! We will have a new record completed by early May 2010 and we will be planning for a release later in the year!!!

"I don't want to say too much at this time but I will write an update by next week describing what we're going to do and I can tell you this — it won't be what anyone expects and it will show a completely different side to STRYPER that the world has never heard before.

"Let the controversy begin...

"The band is incredibly excited about this project and the label is equally as excited...

"Great things ahead!"

Ulterium Records (through an arrangement with the Italian label Frontiers Records) released a limited 12" picture-disc edition of the latest STRYPER album, "Murder By Pride", in Europe on December 4. The LP is strictly limited to 500 copies, and comes with a full color poster inlay.

"Murder By Pride" sold 5,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 73 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released in Europe on August 28, 2009 via Frontiers Records. It was made available in the U.S. on July 21, 2009 through Big 3 Records.
