The song is the title track from the band’s forthcoming album
Christian metal band Stryper has shared “When We Were Kings,” the title track from its forthcoming new album. The single is accompanied by a new music video produced by Gavin Holmes. The band’s 12th studio album, When We Were Kings, is out September 13th via Frontiers Music Srl.
“We wanted to take you back in time, to see a small glimpse of the band back in the early days. Gavin Holmes did an amazing job of creating an animated time machine that relives and revives the incomparable 80s. When We Were Kings!” frontman and founder Michael Sweet shares.
Stryper’s current lineup includes original members Michael Sweet, Robert Sweet, and Oz Fox, along with bassist Perry Richardson. Together they feel they are creating their finest and most powerful music yet.
This new music sets the stage for a great year for Stryper which begins a 40th Anniversary Tour this fall. Anniversary tour dates kick off September 11th in Greenville, Tennessee, and conclude November 16th in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The show will be a celebration of both classic hits and new-era fan favorites, including outfit changes and an exciting new show production. In most cities, this will be a two-set “evening with” style show.
Looking ahead, the band is also working on a Kickstarter-funded documentary film directed by Chris Atkins. With career album sales exceeding ten million worldwide and a history of Billboard Top 40 hits, Stryper continues to record, tour, and perform for devoted fans globally.
