Stryper Releases First Ever Acoustic Album "To Hell with the Amps"

Multi-platinum rock band STRYPER has announced the CD & cassette releases of their first- ever acoustic "unplugged" album, To Hell with the Amps on the Stryper Recording label distributed worldwide by Flatiron Recordings. The first STRYPER album to be available in Dolby Atmos, To Hell with the Amps was released digitally on May 10, 2024, with CD and Cassette editions to be released July 19th, and Blue-ray, DVD and vinyl format to follow. The Blu-ray and DVD editions will feature a full live performance video of the album.
The 11-track collection features stripped-down versions of STRYPER classics - ranging from energized tracks "Loud & Clear" and "Soldiers Under Command" to power ballad "Honestly" - plus a never-before-released version of the enduring hymn, "Amazing Grace."
"This record has been in the works for over seven years and it's an absolute honor to be able to finally say, 'it's here!'" says lead vocalist, guitarist and primary songwriter Michael Sweet. "So many of these songs were actually written on an acoustic guitar and to be able to release it and showcase different interpretations of these classic STRYPER songs is something that we've wanted to do for a very long time."
On the heels of their just-wrapped STRYPER's To Hell with the Amps - The Unplugged Tour, the band will plug back in to hit 24 cities nationwide September 17-November 15 for their 40th anniversary world tour. To Hell with the Amps was produced by Michael Sweet and recorded and engineered by Danny Bernini at Spirithouse Studios. The Dolby Atmos mixes were done at Iguana Studios and engineered by Thiago Lima.
