"NO MORE HELL TO PAY marks our 30 year anniversary and what a journey it has been! It's our eleventh studio release since our first album in 1984 THE YELLOW & THE BLACK ATTACK and it's quite possibly our best record to date. Why? It's everything you might expect from a Stryper record - high octane vocals, layered vocal harmonies, guitar solos galore, driving drums and bass and an energy that hasn't been achieved since our glory days," Sweet said in a promotion video.
Sweet was recently on FOX News Radio for an in-depth discussion with Vipp Jaswal where he spoke about the band's 30 year career. The song "Sympathy" premiered on USAToday.com last week.
Noisecreep named No More Hell To Pay the album of the month for November and Ultimate Classic Rock is premiering the exclusive stream of Stryper's cover of the Doobie Brothers classic "Jesus Is Just Alright" today as well.
