When We Were Kings Purple

"When We Were Kings" has it all - everything expected from Stryper and then some. From songs like "End of Days" (which showcases their heavy side) to the title track (which has a groove like no other) to the deep and dark ballad "Betrayed By Love" to the classic meets modern vibe of "Loves Symphony" to the classic pop sense of "Grateful" - the album offers a variety of flavors yet a unique familiarity. Sonically speaking the band's singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer, Michael Sweet, along with Danny Bernini, employed some very unique recording techniques to make the guitars sound huge. And huge they are! During the writing process, it was very important to incorporate choruses that are memorable, melodic, and a bit of a throwback to the past while keeping a few modern-day twists and turns along the way. Everything came together perfectly, and everyone delivered on a whole new level. There truly is something very special
