“Fallen“, the new album from STRYPER, will be released worldwide on Friday, October 16 via Frontiers.

The CD was tracked at SpiritHouse Recording Studios in Northampton, Massachusetts and will include a cover version of the BLACK SABBATH classic “After Forever“.

The first song from “Fallen“, “Yahweh“, which was co-written by SEVENDUST guitarist Clint Lowery, will be made available the week of July 6.

The cover artwork for “Fallen“, which can be seen below, was designed by Stanis Decker, who worked with STRYPER on 2013’s “No More Hell To Pay“.

STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet says: “We sent Stanis the concept about Lucifer being cast out of heaven and he sent us this amazing illustration, capturing the original idea perfectly. We’re excited to be able to finally show all of you!”
