Today, the legendary STRYPER shares a fresh track from their recently released twelfth studio album ‘When We Were Kings’ entitled “Betrayed By Love.” This powerful single is accompanied by a music video, available below.
About “Betrayed By Love,” Michael Sweet shared this:
“We’ve all been betrayed by love. Jesus was betrayed by love. I found it fitting to write a song about this. It’s a guitar ballad, unlike any ballad we have ever done. I hope you dig it!”
STRYPER’s current lineup includes original members Michael Sweet, Robert Sweet, and Oz Fox, along with bassist Perry Richardson. With ‘When We Were Kings’ the band feels they are creating their finest and most powerful music yet. 40th Anniversary Tour dates are in motion – a full list of dates is available below.

About ‘When We Were Kings,’ Sweet adds:
“We couldn’t be more excited about this new album. I feel that it really captures our classic sound, but also captures our most recent sound. We’ve definitely grown as a band and evolved quite a bit so it’s important to have both. We’re 40 years into our career and releasing the best music of our career.”
Looking ahead, STRYPER is also working on a Kickstarter-funded documentary film directed by Chris Atkins. With career album sales exceeding 10 million worldwide and a history of Billboard Top 40 hits, STRYPER continues to record, tour, and perform for devoted fans globally.
This tour is a celebration of classic hits and new-era fan favorites, including outfit changes and an exciting new show production. In most cities, this will be a 2-set “evening with” style of show.
