Stryper frontman Michael Sweet has checked in with the following update:

"Just finished the mixes for the new Stryper album with Danny Bernini.

As we were going through each song over the past five days, we were both blown away at how amazing everything sounds. Every single song stands on 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. For some reason, God keeps blessing this band beyond measure. His favor is all over this one. 

I cannot wait for the world to hear this one."
