STRYPER’s MICHAEL SWEET: ‘For Some Reason, God Keeps Blessing This Band Beyond MeasureSTRYPER’s MICHAEL SWEET: ‘For Some Reason, God Keeps Blessing This Band Beyond Measure’<\/p>\n

STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet has completed mixing the band’s new studio album with longtime collaborator Danny Bernini at SpiritHouse Recording Studios in Northampton, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

On Thursday (April 11),Sweet took to his social media to write: “As we were going through each song over the past 5 days, we were both blown away at how amazing everything sounds. Every single song stands in its own. This is a very special album, unlike any other. As I listen I truly believe it’s our best album. That’s saying a lot but that’s how I feel. Everyone delivers in this album and the production and mixes are next level. So are the songs. I say all this humbly. It could be the opposite.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “For some reason, God keeps blessing this band beyond measure. His favor is all over this one.<\/p>\n

“I cannot wait for the world to hear this one”.<\/p>\n

Late last month,\u00a0Sweet<\/b>, who is responsible for almost all of the songwriting in\u00a0STRYPER<\/b>, said that the follow-up to 2022’s\u00a0“The Final Battle”<\/b>\u00a0“has a very special signature. It has a heaviness yet at the same time, a very melodic approach and a bit more of a ‘sing-along’ style when it comes to the choruses,” he revealed. “I’m really pleased with the results and I truly believe it will be at the top of everyone’s ‘best of’ list. There are some stand out tracks to my ears already but I won’t go into details quite yet. Bottom line, a KILLER new\u00a0STRYPER<\/b>\u00a0album is coming!”<\/p>\n

Last September,\u00a0Michael<\/b>\u00a0said that he wanted “to branch out a bit” on the next\u00a0STRYPER<\/b>\u00a0album “and try some new things and I also want to get back to some ‘pop metal’ on a few tracks as well.”<\/p>\n

In December,\u00a0Sweet<\/b>\u00a0underwent partial thyroidectomy, the surgery to remove part of his thyroid gland. It is the most common surgery for thyroid cancer.<\/p>\n

The follow-up to 2020’s\u00a0“Even The Devil Believes”<\/b>,\u00a0“The Final Battle”<\/b>\u00a0was produced by\u00a0Sweet<\/b>\u00a0and was once again recorded at\u00a0SpiritHouse Recording Studios<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Formed 41 years ago,\u00a0STRYPER<\/b>‘s name comes from Isaiah 53:5, which states: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”<\/p>\n
