On November 16,
STRYPER frontman
Michael Sweet was interviewed by
Eric Blair of
"The Blairing Out With Eric Blair Show". Watch the chat in two parts below.
STRYPER was recently forced to cancel several shows in Texas due to
Michael Sweet's bout with the flu. The band's concerts in Dallas and Houston have been rescheduled for December 22 and December 21, respectively. They will feature a special Christmas segment that will include the performance of
"Winter Wonderland" and their classic holiday tune
"Reason for the Season", which the band says it has never performed live.
Ulterium Records (through an arrangement with the Italian label
Frontiers Records) will release a limited 12" picture-disc edition of the latest
STRYPER album,
"Murder By Pride", in Europe on December 4. The LP will be strictly limited to 500 copies, and will come with a full color poster inlay.
The LP is available for pre-order at the
Ulterium Records store.
"Murder By Pride" sold 5,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 73 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released in Europe on August 28 via
Frontiers Records. It was made available in the U.S. on July 21 through
Big 3 Records.
STRYPER kicked off its 25th-anniversary tour on September 11 at the House Of Blues in Boston, Massachusetts.
