Exclusive Interview: Michael Sweet Talks About Stryper's New Album "When We Were Kings"

Legendary, long-running metal band

STRYPER is set to return with their 12th studio album When We Were Kings, out September 13th via Frontiers Music Srl.

STRYPER's current lineup includes original members Michael Sweet, Robert Sweet, and Oz Fox, along with bassist Perry Richardson, as they create what they consider their finest and most powerful music yet.
