Heavy yet melodic. Michael Sweet's soaring vocals, defying his age, are astonishing. A masterpiece that is a must-listen not only for classic metal fans but also for modern heavy metal listeners! Few bands have etched their name as deeply into the history of heavy metal as Stryper. Formed in California in 1983, they established the Christian metal genre worldwide and are known for their vibrant yellow and black stage costumes and performances that involve throwing Bibles into the audience. However, their essence lies in their outstanding musicianship and melodic yet heavy metal sound. Their representative works from the 80s, such as \"The Yellow and Black Attack,\" \"Soldiers Under Command,\" and \"To Hell with the Devil,\" have sold millions of copies. Their name is etched not only in the metal scene but also in the history of American rock. Despite experiencing hiatuses and member changes in the 90s, Stryper has displayed an astonishing creative drive since their reunion in 2003. In recent years, they have released a string of high-quality works, including \"God Damn Evil\" (2018), \"Even the Devil Believes\" (2020), and \"The Final Battle\" (2022). Many fans consider this to be their second golden age. Their 18th studio album is \"Throne of Thorns.\" The production was, of course, spearheaded by frontman Michael Sweet. Having written almost all the songs and shaping the overall direction of the album, he boasts, \"This is a work that symbolizes Stryper itself over the past 43 years. It's heavy yet melodic, classic yet modern. And it's 100% Stryper.\" In terms of sound, \"Throne of Thorns\" can be said to be the culmination of Stryper's recent work. Robert Sweet's thunderous drumming, the beautiful harmonies of the twin guitars, the heavy riffs, and the unforgettable chorus work?while retaining the charm of classic 80s metal, it also possesses a modern weightiness and clear production. Michael's vocals are phenomenal, ranging from soaring high notes that defy his age to emotional expressions, truly reaching the pinnacle of his career. Oz Fox's fluid guitar work and the steady playing of current bassist Perry Richardson also powerfully support the entire album. 'Throne Of Thorns' is a masterpiece that brilliantly fuses the persuasive power that only a legend who has been at the forefront since the 80s can deliver with their ever-evolving creativity. A must-listen for classic metal fans and modern heavy metal listeners alike!
