Last weekend Stryper began recording the forthcoming coveralbum. The band will record a coveralbum with the classics that helped them form their sound as a band. But don´t be afraid, the band will not step away from God.

“For those of you who may think that we’re walking away from our faith — you’re wrong. We’ve never been more serious about our faith at any point in our lives. It is, however, important to enjoy what you do and lighten up from time to time. That’s what we plan to do.” // Michael Sweet

The tracklist for the album;

* JUDAS PRIEST – “Breaking The Law”
* IRON MAIDEN – “The Trooper”
* SCORPIONS – “Blackout”
* OZZY OSBOURNE – “Over The Mountain”
* SWEET – “Set Me Free”
* VAN HALEN – “On Fire”
* DEEP PURPLE – “Highway Star”

* KANSAS – “Carry On Wayward Son”

There is also a new track called “God” that will be on the album according to the Michael Sweets Twitter page.

“Wrote a song recently entitled “God” -very heavy lyrically and musically- old school metal. Something new for those who want it!
