Stryper Debut Lyric Video for 'Here In Your Heart' Ahead of 'Throne Of Thorns'

STRYPER have issued the official lyric video for "Here In Your Heart", a fresh offering from the Christian metal veterans. The track serves as a key preview for their upcoming 18th studio album, titled "Throne Of Thorns", which is slated for release on September 25 via Frontiers Music Srl.

Frontman and guitarist Michael Sweet describes the new material as a balanced evolution of the band's identity. "This song is the perfect representation of who we are now as a band. We work hard to retain our classic sound, but also mix in some modern flairs here and there," Sweet explains, noting that while their style evolves, the core message remains constant. Drummer Robert Sweet echoes this sentiment of quality, suggesting that the intense preparation put in by the entire lineup—including Oz Fox and Perry Richardson—has resulted in what he believes to be their finest work to date.

This song is the perfect representation of who we are now as a band.

Following the release of the title track and its accompanying music video in June, "Here In Your Heart" reinforces the band's trajectory. "Throne Of Thorns" is being positioned as a masterclass in heavy yet melodic songwriting, blending signature guitar harmonies with powerful arrangements. Bassist Perry Richardson highlights the grit behind the recording, stating that the best music arises from the struggle of growth rather than from a place of comfort.
