@disciplesofthecross you dodged the question, because you know jesus would have nothing to do with listening to ozzy. because ozzy has nothing to do with anything god has in mind, the self proclaimed (prince of darkness) should not be played by stryper, who is promoting the (prince of darkness) by covering his music
This sample had me a lil worried for a few reasons. But when the album actually came out I was blown away at how they brought back their trademark sound with a modern slight twist to it. They seriously outdid themselves with MBP
Really nice album guys. Great lyrics. The singer's voice is great, expecially the high notes and harmonies. Guitar work is great as always. Bass and drums are tight and really add to the songs. I hope I get this for Christmas ^_^.
Sounds just like the first Michael Sweet solo album haha. And the only thing wrong with that, was that is was missing the rest of the band. This is nice. I'm glad they didn't try to resurrect the old metal, this is really great inspirational stuff.
murder by pride is commenting on the destructive nature of pride itself which in the end destroys us. War is in the bible yes and is justified when justice needs to be taken when it comes to nations who are evil. But individually we are called to be peacemakers and turn the other cheek and leave God to sort out justice which He will in due time.
I'm 39 years old and I listened to stryper in high school,even saw 'em in concerts, I had heard they had broke up because of relapses, Does anyone know if there is any truth to that at all?
chicos me parece muy comercial este cd de Stryper!!!!! nada que ver a los cd mas viejos!!! cunado salga lo comprare solo por que son ellos. sino... la verdad que no me gusta la onda. AGUANTE EL HEAVY METAAAALLL!!!
It sounds stronger than their last CD. I'm looking forward to buying the new CD. It's so cool that these guys are still making music. They were my favorite band in the 1980's. My whole room was yellow and black! I met Michael twice, once by accident in Anaheim, CA in 1994. His solo band was rehearsing next door to my band. I can still remember flipping when I heard "Shining Star" coming through the walls live and hearing Michael's unmistakable voice. He's a really nice guy and a genuine person.
yeah it says ur not suppose to murder than why is stryper singin about it? If u aint gonna answer my question dont answer at all with ur stupid comment no offence,
well mr. naturally insane i did answer your question. it's not my fault your not familiar with your bible. Read it sometime, (when your not playing playstation), and you'll see all the people that god killed. No offence taken...
Pride murders our soul. It also murders our relationship toGod. Pride kills. When we get prideful, and we think that we do not need help, and that we are ok ( which IS pride ) we are only fooling ourselv'es. We ALL need help. Christ died for us, that we may give up all of our prode, and let him take control. What stryper is saying is right on the mark. Murder by pride = pride kills. We must give up all of our pride and realize that we all are not perfect, Not even I. And need a savior.
I don't hear any old Stryper sound in this. The first 3 Albums are classic STRYPER. IGWT was way 2 commercial With 2 or 3 good songs. After that they lost me.. There is some screams and dual guitar solos but only the song at 9:15 is somewhar classic STRYPER. I will go c them this fall but its only because Timmy is in the second set of older material. JMHO but this sounds like another Mike solo recoer just a little heavier.
My oh My oh My,, there are just NO words right now :) :). These are samples?? SAMPLES?!?!
Can't WAIT for the entire release- mid JULY. Though some of the songs are being released on apple i-tunes, each week a new song.
I did hear that Kenny Aarnoff did the drum-work for the STUDIO. That's so cool as STRYPER'S drummer Robert has 4 kids/ Wife/ family. Each song just builds on me!!!! Guitars- Vocals- drums-------- Good Gosh!!
So far I have enjoyed all of the Murder By Pride songs. Kenny Arnoff played drums on the album BUT Robert Sweet will play them live, he had personal issues in which he could not record. I only hope they come to Indiana
I have To Hell with the Devil and In God we Trust. This new Stryper CD has to be the most polished music that I've heard in quite a while. The group has gone deeper with their music with the ability to reach a larger audience. I'm going to buy this CD!
I also like,"MURDER BY PRIDE" reminds me of Soldiers Under Command album. I didn't get to hear the end of this clip until I was done with my other comment. I ran out of space anyway..lol
STRYPER ROCKS NO MATTER WHAT--I'LL NEVER FORGET THE CORE OF STRYPER of Being BOLD!!!
I like,"Eclipse of the Son" but to be honest, my opinion is that this CD sounds too much like what STRYPER wasn't about. That's the typical commercial christian sound. Where's the in your face!, up to date!,Hard Hittin' killer rock guitar edge sound?I love most of the soungs on,IN GOD WE TRUST,lp but this is IGWT taken to a new christian comprising level.I just hope it's not the Christian endorsement company putting this pressure on them to sound so,"Safe"but it does sound like Mike's solo stuff
I respect these musicians really, but I know what faith is about and I don't think the song "Everything" belongs. .. "if" this is to represent the message of love and respect for Jesus Christ, It walks the on the edge of disrespect at frist listen.. That's just my feelings...
Ok,,than smart ass when aint he playing then? I should be no sceret.If it aint cause of past drug problems,then does suck at playing,,,is he not confitend in his playing anymore,,,,come tough guy tell us why? GOD would want us to know.
Guys, listen. Many many drummers and bass players of bands do not play on the albums when recording. Alot of times because band members do not live close together they use session players. Nothing more nothing less. Robert will be playing when they tor this fall. Its gonna be awesome.
I just wanted to reply to your comment about why Robert was not on this album. I can assure you that it is not because of some "past problems" (whatever that means!) catching up to him. Please be careful and not make statements like that over the internet, as that type of statement is so broad that people can interperet it the wrong way and get a fetile imagination. Robert is one of my closest friends. He told me the reason why he wasn't on the album, and it was understandable. Thnx.
my apologies about that, that was what i had heard from people on certain rock message boards so that why i said it was a rumor and not a full blown reason and didnt want to make it as such. I'll remove the comment so it doesnt make a big mess
Wow! It sounds almost like a return to their old style. Reminds of the In God We Trust days. I'm looking forward to this release. Stryper is one of the greatest bands ever.
Hey, Joejoefireguy...hate to burst your bubble, but, not only will this album see the light of day (it's being released this summer), it will also be one of the BEST albums of the year, guaranteed!!
Stryper??Ok,its the Michael and Oz project Robert,,,,for whatever reason did'nt play on this cd,,,and Tim is no longer in the band,,,,so Ok,,,call it a Stryper cd,,,,but its not,,,,and I'm sure it wont see the light of day.
very sad news...michael's wife passed away last week. I'm very sorry michael, God blees you and your family, keep strong and remember your fans are with you. kelly...R.I.P.
eggy0999- You are starting to sound like one of those christians so caught up in his self righteousness that he condemns everyone else. First of all who cares if Oz came from an occult background. I know the man and can tell you that he attempts to glorify God with everything he does. And were you even listening to the lyrics? Well listen again!!! Try at 2:03, 4:27, etc. Most of their songs glorify God! And Im willing to bet that you aren't so righteous after all.
Well we all fall short and sin is sin before the face of God so liar or occultist once they have surrended to Christ they are all white as snow before him. Judgement stands for one alone and until then lets enjoy grace and good music. Good onya Stryper always glad to hear that disctintive sound and having experienced your live show I think I know your hearts are right up there....critics just need a little more loving' I look forward to getting the new album as soon as I can.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I haven't heard them say anything about God at all. Not once do they mention the name of Jesus. Why? Think about it? Where is Jesus in all of this empty pointless noise? I don't know about you but I am severely allergic to B.S.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Stryper isn't christian at all! Wake up they serve lucifer. Their songs have little if any reference to God, and their lyrics are so shallow, and vague that they have no value. Their old school album art is covered with Luciferian artwork. Why do they use the pyramid in their artwork? Why are their colors yellow, and black? Aren't the colors yellow, and black a sign of danger, keep away? Think about it. Oz foxes background is he was into the occult before he was a christian. 777? Satanic!
Been a fan since 86', great vocal, only wish it was deeper with the same range. But, I can't wait to get this new album. It sounds good. One more wish, it could have been heavier, more stryper, less Michael Sweet solo sounding.
answer this honestly, if Jesus was still living on earth would Jesus have Strypers new CD in his Walkman? if so why? if not why not?
