NewsBLITZ: GET STRYPER'S NEW ALBUM, MURDER BY PRIDE, TRACK-BY-TRACK BEFORE IT'S RELEASED

Stryper's new studio album, Murder By Pride, won't be released in its entirety until July 21. However, BIG3 Records is making one new track from the record available each week from now until then via iTunes!

Fans can go to iTunes every Tuesday to purchase a new track. Each song, though, will be sold for one week only; the following Tuesday a new track becomes available. If you make a purchase every week, you will have the full album by July 21.

Here is the release schedule for Murder By Pride:
May 5: "Eclipse of the Son"
May 12: "Murder By Pride"
May 19: "4 Leaf Clover"
May 26: "The Plan"
June 2: "Alive"
June 9: "I Believe"
June 16: "Love Is Why"
June 23: "Mercy Over Blame"
June 30: "Run In You"
July 7: "Everything"
July 14: "My Love (I'll Always Show)"

Besides the 11 songs listed above, Murder by Pride also includes a cover of the Boston song "Peace of Mind," which is already on iTunes.


This fall, Stryper will embark on a 25th Anniversary Tour, hitting 50 cities in North Ameica. The band will play two separate sets during each concert—the first will feature new Stryper material and include current bassist Tracy Ferrie along with original members Michael Sweet, Robert Sweet and Oz Fox; and the second set will feature all four original Stryper members, including original bassist Tim Gaines, and they will be wearing the yellow and black jumpsuits that made them (in)famous while performing the songs fans have come to know and love over the last 25 years.
