Good news from Stryper songwriter Michael Sweet.
The band has completed the songwriting process for the band’s upcoming album.
Here’s what Michael Sweet published:
“I’m happy to say that all the songs (music) for the new STRYPER album are complete. I started work on everything 2 weeks after my eye surgery (once I could lift my head) so it’s taken a little longer than usual (3 weeks) and also due to the holidays. Of course, we will fine-tune them once we get together for rehearsal. Usually, we rehearse at my house and then we head to Spirithouse to record. This time around we’ll be rehearsing at Spirithouse and we’ll be working through a few songs at a time and then tracking them once the band learns them. Very different yet most likely very effective.
He added:
“What do the songs sound like? Killer!”
“Lots of riffs, grooves, up-tempo and mid-tempo, and everything has a great feel to it. I’ve only sent music to the guys so they haven’t heard any melodies yet but the melodies are strong and powerful.
“It’s always a little strange talking about your own music but I can say that I’m really excited about the direction of this album! I know you will be too. We’ve tuned down to D so the tuning makes it all sound a little fatter and heavier. There are a few songs with the low E string dropped down another step (C) so those songs have a bit more meat and potatoes as well;-) There are a few ballads but they’re not your typical ‘piano’ or ‘acoustic’ ballads. They’re heavy as well and definitely guitar-driven.
