“Fallen”, the new album from STRYPER, will be released worldwide on Friday, October 16 via Frontiers. The CD was tracked at SpiritHouse Recording Studios in Northampton, Massachusetts and includes a cover version of the BLACK SABBATH classic “After Forever”.
The first song from “Fallen”, “Yahweh”, was co-written by SEVENDUST guitarist Clint Lowery.
A new video message from STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet regarding how the collaboration with Lowery came about can be seen below.
Sweet said: “I met Clint Lowery of SEVENDUST on a plane last year. He said hello and when we got off the plane we took a photo and he mentioned the influence STRYPER was on him when he was younger. It was surprising to hear due to the obvious talent that Clint is blessed with. We started following each other on Twitter and Instagram and then we exchanged contact info. I reached out to Clint and asked him if he would like to co-write a track or two for the new STRYPER album. Clint agreed and sent me a few riff ideas. I was instantly drawn to the riff that he sent which eventually became ‘Yahweh’. I took his original idea and somehow created this 6:30-minute song, which is quite epic and honestly may be one of the most powerful songs we’ve done in a long time. I sent it to Chris Jericho [FOZZY] and he texted me, writing, ‘‘Yahweh’ is your best tune, maybe since you reunited.’
“Clint is a very great and gifted writer so I wanted to have him involved in one way or another.
“Once the song was mixed, I sent it to Clint and he responded with, “The tune is amazing, man. It’s got that old-school spirit with this modern take. That choir vibe on chorus is beautiful. Vibe change for the solo. Epic, my man. Solos are stellar. I don’t remember sending anything near this cool.'”

The cover artwork for “Fallen”, which can be seen below, was designed by Stanis Decker, who worked with STRYPER on 2013’s “No More Hell To Pay”. STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet says: “We sent Stanis the concept about Lucifer being cast out of heaven and he sent us this amazing illustration, capturing the original idea perfectly. We’re excited to be able to finally show all of you!”
Sweet recently stated about the musical direction of “Fallen”: “It’s gonna be… I don’t wanna scare any fans away or anything, but it’s gonna be the heaviest album we’ve done. Not in the sense that it’s gonna be thrash metal or anything like that. It’s definitely got a little bit of a darker vibe to it lyrically and musically. Some of the songs are tuned down — not like the modern Drop B stuff; I’m talking like the E dropped to D, ‘Unchained’ VAN HALEN kind of stuff. And it’s just got a heavy sound to it. And I think when people hear it, in a good way, they’re gonna go, ‘That’s STRYPER? What?’ I think they’re gonna be shocked.”
He added: “The album was written and arranged very quickly (9-10 days, actually). This by no means reflects on the quality of the album. It’s some of our best material to date and so far those who have heard it have said the very same.
“There are songs on this album that coincide with sitting down and reading the bible.
“The music is heavy and the lyrics are bold and powerful, some taken right from scriptures.
“Sonically, I think this is our best-sounding album to date! Everything is crystal clear. The highs are crisp and the lows are tight and punchy.”
