I’m so GRATEFUL to Stryper for bringing me back to Jesus in 1984 after falling down into a downward spiral of drugs and temptations. I am now 40 years clean and sober.

Sobriety is an awesome way to live life and addiction is a dragon worth slaying. One day, one step, one breath. Each day is a victory and a blessing. I never subscribed to any chip reward system trying to get out of the clutches of addiction due to its a false milestone. Only with Christ have I beaten the demons, held back the regrets and learned to plow forward knocking down all those trip wires and triggers. Christ is a powerful ally to have, he is always there, always faithful, and uses all instruments to bring people closer to him. Including rock and roll.

Still there be in just 11 songs on the new album there should be 12 actually making the last song a piano ballad if not better than the 80s because they're like a fine wine to better with age and maybe two bonus tracks as well 1 BNA heavier song turn another track being another ballad no that would be phenomenal

As an on fire new christian, I was a dreamer and listened to Petra night and day until I heard about this Band called Stryper that had a new album out. I heard Come on Rock on Metal shop working a graveyard shift at my gas station job so Me and my friend drove hours to get the last cassette tape of Yellow and Black Attack from berean bible book store. Those were days where we started really believing that we could be like them. Me and my friend started the band Decree and Full Armor and did pretty ok with that for years before I went on to sing for my other favorite CM Band, Barren Cross. I don't believe I have stronger or better memories in my entire life than those of the dream to rock and getting to do so world wide with BC. I never stopped listening to Stryper and y'alls music got me through some sketchie and challenging days. Y'all we're everything (after Jesus of course) to me. This song definitely conjures those very same feelings up once again. I love the heavy and I adore the melodic. I pray for Oz and Bob, Perry and Mike's health and that you all can keep being a blessing for years to come. honestly, you guys have not lost a step. Love you guys, my brothers. Keep your eyes on Jesus y'all. These are those days~
