"We thought long and hard about this title," says Michael in response to thousands of fan comments. "It was actually considered quite a few years ago and it just didn't feel like the right time. Now, with all the evil in the world that we see around us on a daily basis, it made perfect sense. It's a very bold statement yet a prayer asking God to damn/condemn evil . Nothing more, nothing less."
Continuing a trend started with their 2013 release, "No More Hell To Pay",STRYPER's 10th studio album, "God Damn Evil" sees the band offering up their heaviest release yet!
Opening track, "Take It To The Cross" features a guest appearance from Matt Bachand (Shadows Fall, Act Of Defiance) on death growls and immediately shows you that Michael Sweet and company have zero intentions of mellowing with age.
The album features songs that will be instant classic anthems but with a modern heaviness and edge that carries the band's sound into the 21st century and beyond.
"Can't Live Without Your Love" showcases that Sweet can still write ballad lyrics but doesn't need the saccharine music popularized in '80s heavy metal to accompany it and can take it tasteful new directions.
Fans of the previous two releases, "No More Hell To Pay" and "Fallen" and of the band's classic early material will find much to love here as the band continues to push the envelope of their musical abilities.
