The iconic Christian metal band Stryper returns with ‘When We Were Kings,’ their 15th studio album. Despite their renowned passion, this latest release suggests a waning in their once groundbreaking songwriting prowess.

In a musical landscape where inspiration and innovation are as sought after as the air we breathe, the staunch stalwarts of Christian metal, Stryper, come clad in their signature yellow and black, bringing forth their 15th studio album When We Were Kings. Stryper has always epitomized a zealous blend of heavy riffs and faith-filled lyrics, but does their latest endeavor live up to their lofty standards?

Let’s dive straight into the deep end of their latest record:

  • The opening track sets the scene with a cacophony of soaring guitars and thunderous drums.
  • Despite the classic Stryper sound, the album walks a thin line between nostalgia and a refreshing modern edge.
  • Some tracks lack the divine spark, the creative fire that once fueled the band’s eminent hits.

It’s a poignant reminder that even the most spirited can sometimes falter at the altar of musical innovation. Here’s a closer look at where ‘When We Were Kings’ hits the mark and where it strays from the path:

Stryper are still fighting the good fight on 15th studio album When We Were Kings.
