STRYPER's Michael Sweet - "Although It Would Have Been Nice To Be A Part Of The New BOSTON Album, Things Don't Always Work Out The Way You Want Them To"
October 30, 2013, 10 years ago
STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet checks in with the following update:
I was playing a riff at rehearsals for the 2008 Boston/STYX tour for a new song/idea of mine and Tom kept commenting on it and said he liked it. I wound up going to his house and playing (on an acoustic guitar) three songs for Tom. He loved all three, but really gravitated towards a song called 'Saved By Love', (which I have since completely rewritten) and the revised version is on the new Stryper album, No More Hell To Pay.
Although it would have been nice to be a part of the new Boston album, things don't always work out the way you want them to, especially when God has other plans for you. So, there's a little Boston history for ya."
Stryper have released their video for 'No More Hell To Pay', the title track from their new album. It's the band's first official video clip since 1991.
The band has issued the following background information on the video:
"Unfortunately, it was over 100 degrees in the desert that day and the guys shot another video prior to this one and could not break down the kit and set it back up before sun went down. As much as the band would have liked to have had Robert hitting the drums for this video, it was physically impossible and the director needed to make that call."Stryper will release their new studio album, No More Hell To Pay, via Frontiers Records on November 1st in Europe, and November 5th in North America in two formats - standard CD and deluxe digipak featuring exclusive video content.
