Today, the legendary, long-running metal band STRYPER shares “When We Were Kings,” the title track from their forthcoming new album. The single is accompanied by a new music video produced by Gavin Holmes and available to watch below. The band’s 12th studio album, ‘When We Were Kings,’ is out September 13th via Frontiers Music Srl.

Michael Sweet comments on the project:

“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!”

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 who begin a 40th Anniversary Tour this fall. Anniversary tour dates kick off September 11th in Greenville, TN, and conclude November 16th in North Myrtle Beach, SC. A full list of dates is below.
