STRYPER’s MICHAEL SWEET Confirms Second Album With GEORGE LYNCH – “It Will Come Out Next Year”

In a new interview with Full Throttle Rock, Stryper mainman Michael Sweet has confirmed he will record the second Sweet & Lynch album with guitarist George Lynch this February.

Sweet says, “We start recording that in February and it will come out next year, it’s all contracted, confirmed and we’re doing it. We are really excited about it.”

Multi-platinum rock band Stryper kicked off their 30th Anniversary To Hell With The Devil Tour in late September, with record crowds in attendance for the first eight shows. With 28 cities to go before the band takes an indefinite hiatus from the road, tickets and VIP Meet & Greet packages are selling out fast.

“We’re only eight shows in and it’s incredible,” said frontman Michael Sweet. “The fan response has been overwhelming. It’s amazing that thirty years later, we’re still here. And it’s even more amazing that the fans are still here. We’re totally humbled by it.”

Stryper has resurrected their trademark yellow and black costumes for this tour, which includes two live sets, multi-media and their largest sound and lighting production in nearly two decades. Paying tribute to the hit album that made MTV history, Stryper takes the stage to perform the iconic To Hell With The Devil album in it’s entirety, followed by a second set of hits and fan favorites from other albums.

Fan-filmed video from Stryper's September 30th show at the House Of Blues in Orlando, FL is available below.

Released by Enigma Records on October 24, 1986, the Grammy-nominated To Hell With The Devil is the band’s third studio album and the first Christian metal album to achieve platinum status. Throughout 1987, the music videos for "Free" and "Honestly" ranked #1 on MTV’s list of most requested videos, and the video for "Calling on You" reached #2. Stryper was the first band to ever have two songs in MTV’s Top 10 simultaneously.
